North Korean deserters? No way. No one could have forseen North Koreans escaping when half the planet away from their dictatorship.
Retrospectively, it’d be interesting to know what they told the North Korean solidiers… No internet, just the Kim propaganda… They were probably told that Russia was attacked and Ukraine was the agressor…
Drop leaflets to them which say “surrender and we won’t send you back to NK”, simple.
Better yet, let the note say to think about it for a second. Best to turn around and fight the Russians, because if you don’t, they’ll eventually send you back to NK, if you happen to survive.
Really. The only way this turns out well for the NK soldiers is that Russian lose, and the NK soldiers themselves are the ones who make them lose. That’s the only way for them to win. Every other choice for them is a losing one.
Just get drones to drop a trail of food to a POW camp.
