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.”
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.
Bad choice for fanatics. Can’t they drop something that makes it obvious how their regime abused them, then offer them better living conditions?
I hate that they used AI for this (you can tell by the pixels). It would fuck so much harder if an artist had taken the time, care, and passion to make this message hit home.
The artist is busy shooting back more than likely.
the amount of cope is surreal
One day, the Bikkhus were once again quarrelling. They came to the Buddha with their bullshit and asked “Lord Buddha, these Bikkhus didn’t completely agree with us. How can they tolerate such high doses of copium?” The Buddha smiled and answered “Bikkhus, be still and know that everything is cope, and cope is in all things”. None of the Bikkhus liked that answer, though, so they started loudly talking shit about Russia in case the Buddha was a paid troll.
Is it even worth the effort though?
Sadly, they are not proper merceneries. A mercenary fights for money, but those guys probably know their families will be repressed if they surrender.
If I was the developer of the propaganda leaflet, I would add one sentence (after double-checking with a competent social engineer):
- “you get a new identity, at home they will think you died”
I don’t think they will consider surrendering to a
packflight of drones a good idea.Yes. The protocol of “how to surrender” would also be useful to add.
Obviously, one cannot surrender to an FPV drone - it doesn’t have enough battery for the pilot to check if one follows through with the promise.
Throwing down all weapons, raising a white cloth and walking towards the opposing side might be a good enough signal for the pilot however - they might go looking for another target before the battery runs out.
For the leaflet to achieve results, it must lay out a good method of how to surrender. And that’s a lot easier with Russians since they have a language which Ukrainians understand.
To Russians, one can write “go to frequency X MHz, drop encryption and negotiate surrender” or “go to Telegram channel X to arrange surrender” but no such hope with North Koreans.
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.
I can confirm, it happened a few times in Kursk, I’ve seen the videos.
However, the drone in question was a reconnaisance drone (those have long flight times). Ideally, you never see a reconnaisance drone - it sees you from beyond visual range well enough.
I believe the situation in Kursk was that Ukrainians deliberately sent a reconnaisance drone to take a close look, and perhaps also dropped a few leaflets. Russians then understood that their coordinates were known, they had no shelter available and a strike might come any second - and made the gestures to indicate surrender.
It also helped that the Russians in question were conscripts - young people undergoing military training. Support for the war is the lowest among this age group.
Just traduce some social welfare and asylum information posters from the rest of Europe into North Korean.
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.
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.
True, but if your squad dies and there’s no one to account for you, get the fuck out. No one will know you aren’t one of the mangled corpses. Start new, and live.
How will the NK govt know they surrendered and that they didn’t just go missing, get obliterated by an explosive, or something else?
Ummm… they get their picture on the news? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cjdek713d0xo
Inb4 the tankies denying that such a thing exists.
Removed by mod
The families of North Korean defectors get sent to internment camps (this is a fact). OP is saying tankies deny this (this is a fact).
Ah…
…well, if they do surrender at least they wouldn’t get sent back to north koreaa
Well now i dont just want kim to die but i want him to suffer a horrible death
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 think that the wording is vague enough that it could mean that the sentence could be 8 generations
Yeah, my point here being that they’ve probably given someone an eight generation sentence and idk, somehow it seems like they can still have babies while in prison camps (prolly because it’s necessary to maintain the population when everyone is imprisoned), so technically someone could be born in an NK prison this decade (let’s assume a very short 20 year generations) and still be responsible for something their great grandparents did in the 40’s and still have a few generations of kids have to bear through imprisonment.
Imagine being at the far end of it. Like you’re the 9th gen. “Congratulations, your family has been in prison for a century and a half, but you’re no longer responsible for your great-great-great-great-great-grandpa’s sins. Enjoy!”
with this little nugget:
Congratulations, your family has been in prison for a century and a half, but you’re no longer responsible for your great-great-great-great-great-grandpa’s sins. Enjoy!
Oh your parents? No you leave now and you’ll never see them again. No you don’t get a choice
They should say “We have food, liquor and porn”.
Yeah, but Zelenskyy poops out of his butt. Gross.
And I heard he sucks at golf. No thanks.
I have never LOLed so hard at a comment so stupid. 07
“And democracy. At least a bit more,if not fully.”
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.
I hate this attitude of superiority like they don’t know what the fuck’s going on. They’re living it, bro.
What the fuck have you’ve been smoking?
North Koreans have very limited knowledge of the outside world. They’re not entirely ignorant of it.
But remember that less than 100 years ago Europe was manipulated with hateful propaganda to the extent it was.
Remember that even currently, with access to free interet, there are people who still refuse basic facts like the Earth not being flat.
And you don’t think North Koreans may have been manipulated into thinking that we aren’t actually “free western democracies”, but evil monsters who rape babies while lying about “respecting human rights”.
Like it is exceedingly fucking arrogant of you to assume that because “they’re living it bro” that they knows what’s going on. Like saying that if a woman is in a relationship where she gets beaten and raped that they chose to do that and that “they’d know where to get help if they wanted it.”
What the fuck is wrong in dropping in information about the basic tenets of what we westerners claim to base our values on; valuing human rights in general, freedom, equal rights, democracy?
Cram as much porn into old smartphones and drop those.
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
Finally, I can use my Sexy Ben Franklin At the Beach cosplay for good and not evil.
“Oh, fuck me like the Japanese Americans being sent to Internment camps in WW2!”
“Today we’re gonna get to know the scocktractic method.”
libraries full of

a cheap e-reader50 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.
Or spray almost pure LSD solution over their position and watch the mayhem from a distance which blasting the area with porn noises.
Yeah, don’t do that. Anyone who has taken LSD and isn’t a complete psychopath could tell you that this is evil shit.
Totally evil, almost impossible in practice, probably forbidden by the rules of war (which Russia shits on, weaponizing rape for example) but well… WELL deserved.
Whatever people are in the trenches deserve pity but are complete brainwashed psychopaths.
I wouldn’t
(it’s just shit for other reason)
That sounds like the kind of plan the cold war era CIA would have come up with.
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.

Yeah, though I think the LSD would make a big fucking difference (and I think they were referencing MKULTRA)
The second video is literally from a mkultra program.
Ed: that test lead eventually to this under mkultra

Well yes, if the logistics are robust enough, that would be preferable.
Edit but like genuinely the history of democracy and revolutions and whatnot would prolly be good to add for some post-wank reading material to spur on rebellious thought, even for people who don’t surrender. inception
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.
Socialist Realism?
I was gonna say brutalist stencil style
“I have only potato stamps to print hundreds of these and I don’t want to be sent to gulag”
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.
The first two were just captured alive.
I believe most of em are so effectively brainwashed/family threatened that they put a grenade under their chin.
They’re taught to fear everything and everyone else from childhood
Imagine traveling to another country to help the invading force try to capture it…
One of the captured NK soldiers said he thought he was going to Russia for training.
As far as I’m currently aware the NK meat shields are only deployed in the Kursk Oblast.
Oh, I thought they were in Ukraine.
There was some talk about it a while back. But I haven’t seen any evidence of it yet.
Where can I get the t-shirt?
Or posters? That’s a hell of a conversation piece once it’s placed in a living room lol.
Oof these are genuinely terryfying looking images, pretty effective propaganda
I like the artstyle
