According to recent reports, the use of British Storm Shadow missiles has resulted in the death of over 500 North Korean soldiers and a top Russian general. This incident occurred earlier this week when a missile was launched by Ukraine on November 20, targeting an underground military facility in Maryino, Kursk, which was being used as a command center for Kim Jong Un's forces. The strike not only killed General Valery Solodchuk, but also resulted in the deaths of 18 additional Kremlin officers and left 18 others wounded.
The attack, which marked the first time that UK Storm Shadow missiles were used to target deep inside Russian territory, has caused quite a stir. The casualties have yet to be confirmed by Russian authorities, but if these reports are true, they would have significant implications for both Russia and North Korea. The losses may also help to explain Putin's recent aggressive actions, such as launching an ICBM and a new hypersonic missile at Dnipro, as well as making threats of nuclear escalation.
It is believed that around 500 North Korean soldiers were fighting alongside the Russian officers at the time of the attack, but there is no independent verification of this. It is also estimated that over 10,000 North Koreans have been sent to the war zone after being ordered by their leader Kim Jong Un to serve Putin. These soldiers are either currently fighting for Putin or are being prepared for deployment.
The Storm Shadow missiles used in the attack are known for their ability to evade anti-air defenses, making them a formidable weapon for their enemies. The recent strike on the sanatorium of the Russian Presidential Affairs Directorate in Maryino, a former Tsarist estate, has further demonstrated their capabilities. These missiles have a range of up to 180 miles, giving Ukraine the ability to target deep inside Russian borders.
The Russian officers who were reportedly killed in the attack were from Putin's Southern and Eastern Military Districts. The loss of these trained and experienced officers is a significant blow to Russia's military capabilities. It is also worth noting that the attack took place on the 1,000th day of the war with Ukraine, which has been ongoing since September.
Although there has been no official confirmation of the casualties, it is clear that the use of Storm Shadow missiles has had a major impact on the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. With recent changes to Putin's nuclear doctrine, it is evident that any large-scale attack on Russian territory with conventional weapons would be met with a nuclear response. This is a concerning development that could have serious consequences for the region.
