    Does north korea have actually good military power? I’ve seen their parades here and there, but does anyone know if they have updated equipment, trained military personnel, good intelligence, etc?

      They have massive amount of soldiers and are good and making artillery and missiles. It is a big black box however since they haven’t been engaged in a conflict recently so all their troops lack experience.

      Their economy is practically built for conflict so it shouldn’t be taken lightly.

        They’ve been deployed to Syria since at least 2019 and assisted Hezbollah in its tunnel networks going back decades.
