  1. Anyone interested in this topic, and the armed forces of north korea in general, i HIGHLY recommend the book that came out in 2023: The Armed forces of North korea : The path of Songun by Stijn Mitzer and Joost Oliemans (or the guys behind the Oryx Blog)

  2. I mean if you have 200k of people in a country of that population, are they actually " special"?
    Maybe there are a couple of really capable units numbering 1000-2000 within the whole force.

  3. The thing is these forces have 0 modern experience. The US military is substantially more lethal now. I wouldnt want to go up against these guys but I wouldnt fear them any more than I would Russian VDV.

  4. For those interested in this special topic who also enjoy movies about it, there's a really well made South Korean movie SHIRI, made in 1999 about this very topic.

    This was the very first South Korean "high budget" Hollywood-type movie from South Korea.(~$10M budget, for Korean moving making, back in the late 1990s… was like today's $150M – $200M Hollywood movie budgets.)

    It was so new, as a genre, for modern South Korean movie-making, in fact, that the director said they had to RENT the guns and other "special ops" military gear from some American movie making company.

    Some of South Koreans actresses & actors who would go on to become household names in South Korea and in Asian movies… got their start in SHIRI. Choi Min-sik being one of those, who played the senior commander from the special ops from the North. His ranting speech, once he's cornered, with noway out, about the corrupted South Koreans & their kids getting obese from eating American hamburgers, leaving his North Korea comrades & people in starvation mode, searching for & eating edible barks and grasses… was exceptionally moving, as far as memorable cinematic speeches go…

    The movie revolved around the romance of a special forces officer ("sleeper cell" agent) from the North (South Korea/American-born actress Kim Yun-jin, from TV series LOST) and a federal police detective Han Suk-kyu

    It had extreme violence, well choreography, well written monologues, political thrills, romance, tragedies, and all the ingredients made for good Hollywood type movies…
