Press: DPRK teaches its special forces to conduct an active sabotage war

The leadership of North Korea significantly increased its own special purpose forces and teaches them to conduct sabotage warfare. According to Interfax , The Washington Post wrote about this on Friday with reference to American and South Korean military experts.

North Korean special forces are equipped with special equipment to overcome fortifications on the inter -Korean border and learns to conduct a partisan war "according to the Iraqi script," the article says. The increase in the already large -scale forces of the special forces testifies: in Pyongyang they are not sure that they will be able to win the war with ordinary forces, analysts conclude.

“In North Korea, they did what they had to do so that their armed forces still pose a real threat,” Bruce Bidotul Jr., a specialist in North Korea, teaches at the US Marine Corps in Kuantiko, believes. "Special forces can lead to tens of thousands of victims among the civilian population in Seoul on the first day of hostilities," he said.

For his part, the commander of the US troops in South Korea, General Walter Sharp, told reporters that the potential of the North Korean special forces grew up. According to him, in the course of preparation, the instructors in the DPRK teach soldiers the methods of sabotage struggle that terrorists and militants in Iraq and Afghanistan used.

“They really have great opportunities if they use this tactic,” said Sharp.

In the event of a conflict, the North Korean special forces should penetrate the territory of South Korea and disorganize the services of providing American and South Korean troops, bring chaos to the life of the civilian population.

According to Btoral, "these are not simple North Korean guys, they are well prepared, fed and equipped, they are devoted to the regime, they know how to fight and, if they are captured, are trained to commit suicide."

Specialists from South Korea and the USA agree that Pyongyang significantly increased the number of special forces, while they lead to different statistics. According to the South Korean military, the DPRK special forces have 180 thousand people, while the Pentagon believes that Pyongyang prepared 80 thousand Kommandos.

A significant discrepancy in the indicators is partly explained by the fact that the military command of South Korea includes 60 thousand military personnel in the total number of special forces, over the past three years prepared and reorganized in the regular units of North Korea. In the United States, they agree with the existence of these units, but "this retrained infantry cannot be considered special forces," said the representative of the American command in South Korea, Todd Fleming.
