North Korean troops delivered a unique air defense system to the Kursk region, but the Russians mistakenly destroyed it. Forbes reports this.

When North Korea's 12,000-strong 11th Army Corps arrived in the Kursk region to support Russian troops against Ukrainian forces, they brought anti-tank vehicles, howitzers, rocket launchers and a rare air defense system. It combined a large wheeled chassis with radar and launchers from the Russian Tor air defense system, usually located on a tracked base. She is so unusual that the Russian military probably did not recognize her. On Friday, Russian drones discovered and destroyed this North Korean vehicle..

The Russians circulated video of the attack, believing they had struck Ukrainian air defenses, and it took outside observers several days to figure out what exactly had been destroyed..

“It appears that what was originally thought to be a “Western-made radar system” is in fact a North Korean version of the Tor air defense system on a wheeled chassis. Funny. that Russia would strike at its own air defense system,” noted a Polish analyst at WarVehicleTracker.

This loss hit hard for the Russian-North Korean group in Kursk, which has been trying to oust 20,000 Ukrainian troops from the bridgehead since November - mostly unsuccessfully. One of the assaults ended with the death and injury of 200 North Korean soldiers, and during another attack the Russians lost an entire battalion - 400 people. In addition, Ukrainian drones inflict significant losses on the enemy..
