Propaganda leaflets dropped by Ukrainian drones over North Korean positions. "Don't die in vain! Surrender is the way to survive."

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".
- Yeah, but Zelenskyy poops out of his butt. Gross.
  
  I have never LOLed so hard at a comment so stupid. 07
  
  And I heard he sucks at golf. No thanks.
- "And democracy. At least a bit more,if not fully."
- Attach one of those magic deserting cookies to it (c.f the koreean whi defected because if 1 cookie).
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.

  Inb4 the tankies denying that such a thing exists.
  
  Well now i dont just want kim to die but i want him to suffer a horrible death
  
  Ah...
  
  ...well, if they do surrender at least they wouldn't get sent back to north koreaa
  
  How will the NK govt know they surrendered and that they didn't just go missing, get obliterated by an explosive, or something else?
  
  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.
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
- "I have only potato stamps to print hundreds of these and I don't want to be sent to gulag"
- Just imagine the silliness of military recruiting GenZ kids into wars by using anime girls.
  
  Oh wait.
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.
- 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.
  
  Or spray almost pure LSD solution over their position and watch the mayhem from a distance which blasting the area with porn noises.
  
  Perhaps occasionally ~~a cheap e-reader~~ 50 gallon drums of hard alcohol.
  
  Perfect to cut through all the meth
  
  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
- 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
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"
- AFAIK Russia doesn't count their dead soldiers very carefully so it is quite likely that they will label everyone as dead when they go missing.
Imagine traveling to another country to help the invading force try to capture it...
- 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.
- One of the captured NK soldiers said he thought he was going to Russia for training.
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 like the artstyle
I dont know but north korea openly sending their troops to help russians seems a bit unfair. EU time to wake up!
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.
Those are dope they should sell them
I don't think they will consider surrendering to a ~~pack~~ flight 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.
- Consider this. A drone you didn't spot drops this on your feet.
  
  Next drone might drop a grenade.
  
  I would surrender.
Just traduce some social welfare and asylum information posters from the rest of Europe into North Korean.
