Propaganda leaflets dropped by Ukrainian drones over places where North Korean soldiers are hiding or moving in the Kursk region.

As we can see, Ukrainian UAV operators are aiming not only at the heads of DPRK mercenaries, but also at their new phobias - in the form of drones.

At the same time, giving them a choice: to surrender, escape from this horror and get a chance at a new life, or to die ingloriously and inevitably from an FPV drone or cluster munition.

Translation of the inscription: "Don't die in vain! Surrender is the way to survive."

They should say "We have food, liquor and porn".

This is a very good example of something that i identify as 100% propaganda but still agree with. Dont die in vain, surrender. Another pointless fucking massacre russia started.

[–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 51 points 6 months ago (6 children)

Dont die in vain, surrender.

They won't. The ones with families will likely rather die than surrender and I'd bet my cat that they only picked North Koreans with families. "Treacherous" North Koreans will have their entire families put in death camps.

up to eight generations

extends to children born in prison

So there's like some kids being born on those camps who get told they're they're because great-great-great-great-great-grandpa was a political enemy of the government.

I lean not yet three aren't, because NK isn't that old yet, but...

I like that they used the old Communist style of esthetic to make it relatable to the Korean. Wonder what the art style is called

Just imagine the silliness of military recruiting GenZ kids into wars by using anime girls.

Oh wait.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 42 points 6 months ago (4 children)

I think the should also drop usb sticks with libraries full of basic facts that NK soldiers may have never seen.

Perhaps occasionally a cheap e-reader as well. Can't inform them when theyre in NK, but now that they're there and youre already dropping leaflets, might be useful to try to deprogram them as well.

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 33 points 6 months ago (3 children)

libraries full of ~~basic facts~~ porn

Perhaps occasionally ~~a cheap e-reader~~ 50 gallon drums of hard alcohol.

If they don't get seduced into surrendering, they have a higher chance of getting caught with their pants down.. Regardless, I see it as a great way to cause confusion and disorder, anyway.

That sounds like the kind of plan the cold war era CIA would have come up with.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago (2 children)

You mean did. We legit did dose a platoon blast music at them while screaming orders to see how it effects ability to fight. It's on video and kinda funny if not for the whole murdery purpose.

Cram as much porn into old smartphones and drop those.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Since porn is pretty quickly produced, we need to get a new sub category of porn where Western actors teach democratic history while having orgies

Have any North Korean soldiers surrendered or allowed themselves to be taken prisoner? I recall that there was a heavily wounded soldier who was captured but later died of his wounds, but I haven't heard about any other such incidents.

I believe most of em are so effectively brainwashed/family threatened that they put a grenade under their chin.

As far as I'm currently aware the NK meat shields are only deployed in the Kursk Oblast.

The year is 2038. Korean-Ukrainian food is a hit new global phenomenon, drawing tourism to the region of "Little Korea" in Ukraine where the sounds of accordion music fills the air and you can pose to have a statuette made. The people live in peace since they defected from the Russian invaders en masse.

Oof these are genuinely terryfying looking images, pretty effective propaganda

I don't think they will consider surrendering to a ~~pack~~ flight of drones a good idea.

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I've seen a handful of Ukraine war shots.

There's a bunch where poor Russian conscripts drop their rifles and surrender to a drone, and the drone "flies" them to a nearby base.

The alternative being the drone being the last thing you ever see.

[–] Railcar8095@lemm.ee 6 points 6 months ago

Consider this. A drone you didn't spot drops this on your feet.

Next drone might drop a grenade.

I would surrender.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 6 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Bad choice for fanatics. Can't they drop something that makes it obvious how their regime abused them, then offer them better living conditions?

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 5 points 6 months ago

you always start by dislodging who will be easiest to dislodge: youthful critical thinkers who |aybe think this is all a sham. i agree that this is imperfect messaging, but i also presume some discussion went into that north koreans have almost zero media literacy for anything outside north korea by design, so you have to start with something that looks familiar to all of them to start getting the more pliable minds across the battle lines and start talking about what could work
