    Do North Koreans even know about cell phones and drones?

    It seems to me like they’ve just been pulled into some nightmare dystopian future where mechanical birds are blowing up their comrades.

      Wasn’t there a report recently talking about the north Koreans binging on porn because the internet isn’t as restrictive?

      I’d assumed they were using personal electronics for that.

      I’ve seen some videos and diaries from North Koreans talking about FPV drone attacks but I’m pretty sure they only get a very basic crash course at most before they arrive at the front. Hell, even the Russians themselves don’t have any solid strategies to deal with them aside from unreliable electronic warfare systems.

      No they know machines exist. They probably just didn’t expect strategies to be so different
