This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

Since nobody does anything in NK without the approval of the state / party, I’m going to say zero.
While some blame sabotage groups, it's clear that such large obstacles couldn't have been placed by hand alone.

How Ukraine is most likely using their F-16s, for now.

Where are Ukraine's F-16 jets?
Kyiv could use F-16s to attack Russian aircraft launching highly destructive bombs outside the reach of Ukraine's air defenses.

The new axis of Evil may be Russia, Iran, North Korea and a Trump run United States.
Has Russia actually been in a worse situation vis-a-vis balance of power with NATO than they are right now?
At the collapse of the Soviet Union you still had a large military, that was operational. In 2022 they still had huge stockpiles of Soviet era kit, but now, or the end of this decade?
If they tried to fight NATO the way they're fighting Ukraine it would be a turkey shoot.
The other side of that coin is that NATO is just a shell of its former self as well. The Germans who most think of as being militarily strong would have been next to worthless only 2 years ago. Even now there are doubts that most of NATO is taking rearmament as seriously as they should. (Poland being one of the exceptions.)
From 2 years ago.
"In a related context, a confidential report prepared by the Ministry of Defense in Germany and submitted to the parliamentary defense committee revealed that the German army can only perform NATO duties to a limited extent.
It noted that the army suffers from deficiencies in weapons, equipment, and operations and stated that the financial situation, personnel, and training in the Bundeswehr were terrible, pointing out that the German navy would not be able to send even a ship to the UN mission in Lebanon."
The Bundeswehr has many problems with the maintenance of tanks and helicopters, gun breakdowns, and a lack of thermal underwear to warm soldiers training in the cold.
The latest news about ammunition shortages was also revealed after questions arose about maintaining arms supplies being sent to Ukraine to support it in its war with Russia.
The German parliament is increasing pressure on the government to find a quick solution to the air force’s ammunition shortage.
The current annual report of the military commissioner in the German parliament, Eva Hogl, lists the actual available stock of weapons and equipment.
According to the report, operational readiness averages 68 percent for the Marder infantry fighting vehicle, Tornado fighter, and Sea King multi-purpose helicopter.
Bundestag Commissioner for Defence Eva Hogl said: “Germany is not modernizing its armed forces quickly. Its physical base is now worse than it was before the start of Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine, as many weapons have been sent to Kyiv.”
Hogl also noted that the additional budget allocated in February for the purchase of new equipment and ammunition and the development of new systems is not being disbursed quickly enough.
“Germany needs to buy 20 billion euros worth of ammunition to fully secure its armed forces, and soldiers are not always provided with the necessary clothing,” she said.
Why is the German Army in a Weak State? - Al-Estiklal Newspaper
The German army suffers from deficiencies in weapons, equipment and operations, and its financial situation, personnel and training are not efficient.
Hope this is exaggerated. West must now allow this if accurate, right?
Who knows, this could become the best way to get out of N Korea.SIAP - possibly by me yesterday
And FWIW
Volunteer to fight in Ukraine 🇺🇦 and then once there, desert your post and apply for refugee status?
I probably just missed it but hope they found sanctuary somewhere. When searching for this I found this which may show how desperate Russia is.
"And anew report citing sources inside the Moscow mayor’s office says that “volunteer fighters aged 45 and over now make up half of new [Russian army] recruits in Moscow.” The North Koreans might be getting access to some valuable Russian advanced technology in return for their soldiers."

North Korea sending as many as 10,000 troops into Ukraine.
North Korea sending as many as 10,000 troops into Ukraine.
No doubt mostly propaganda but we need to make sure they know this is unacceptable.
Going to need a second category for North Korean troops killed.
9000 tanks tomorrow!
Also with 144,000,000 people, the dead and wounded are now 0.46% of the entire Russian population…this equates to having 1,531,000 US troops dead or wounded in in ill fated attempt to invade Mexico for perspective.
More perspective: total US Casualties for WWII were 1,077,000…
