Ukraine captured and publicly interviewed a pair of them.
Which, as the article states, Ukraine has kept from being interviewed by anyone other than the Ukrainian Presidential Press service.
I don’t see any evidence of DPRK soldiers from the grainy videos you’ve posted. For months now, we’ve been getting 1080p Ukrainian drone footage of hits on Russians with such clarity that you can make out the soldiers’ stubble. Why did this clarity suddenly disappear when Ukrainian and South Korean Intelligence started pushing the idea that DPRK soldiers were actively fighting?
That’s standard for FPV drone videos. Ground interference reduces the signal in the last second, and you aren’t putting 4k cameras on the one-time-use drones that get poor and EWed signal to start with. Link one has many faces seen, link two even also has a closeup at 4:27. The interviews are also full of closeups in high res.
You can choose to ignore the combat footage of North Koreans soldiers dying for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, you can ignore the interviews of captured North Koreans in Ukraine, you can ignore the intel reports from the US, Ukraine, and South Korea if you want. You can choose to believe whatever you want.

Nonsense, you get better cameras in the cheapest of cheap mobile phones. The only reason for that kind of quality in this day and age is to deliberately obscure the detail.
Dunno mate, but if the quality is that bad the person piloting the drone doesn’t know what the fuck either. But I doubt they are broadcasting anything live anyway, they could just download the SIM card when it gets back to base.

These are suicide drones. They ram into the target and explode to create casualties. There is no ‘going back to base’. Everything they do is broadcast live as that is how they are controlled by the FPV pilot. Whatever poor signal they get through Russian jamming and ground interference is what there is.
Sure do. Content warning, it’s combat footage:
And here is a link to some interviews of captured North Korean soldiers:

With what signal are you going to transmit that detail? You can see the signal is not transmitting everything as-is.

Edit: Whoops, double posted. Internet is being poopy today apparently.
