To defeat the twin offensives.
In the Donbas and Kursk.
The ‘elves’ not only.
Have to keep attriting.
‘Orcs’ forces.
—they also have to start attriting.
North Korean forces, too.
That campaign has just begun.
Four months after.
The first North Korean.
Anti-tank missile vehicles.
Showed up along the front line.
Of ‘orcs’ wider war on Ukraine.
‘Elves’ drone operators.
Have hunted down.
One of the vehicles.
The six-wheeled Bulsae-4.
Was motoring down.
A road somewhere.
In Kharkiv Oblast.
In northeastern Ukraine.
When a first-person-view drone.
From the Vitrolom drone group.
Chased it down.
The blast, observed by.
A second ‘elves’ drone.
Seemingly cooked off.
Some of the eight.
Some of the eight.
Anti-tank missiles.
The Bulsae-4 carried.
In its top-mounted launcher.
The Vitrolom group.
—part of the ‘elves’ army’s.
3rd Assault Brigade—
Claimed the North Korean vehicle.
Was knocked out of action.
“We destroy the enemy.
Every day!”
The group crowed.
To defeat the twin offensives.
In the Donbas and Kursk.
The ‘elves’ not only.
Have to keep attriting.
‘Orcs’ forces.
—they also have to start attriting.
North Korean forces, too.
That campaign has just begun.
It’s the first confirmed strike.
On one of the growing number.
Of fire-support vehicles.
North Korea has deployed.
To the front line of.
The ‘Mordor’-Ukraine war.
Alongside thousands of.
North Korean infantry.
In addition to.
An unspecified number of.
Bulsae-4s.
The North Koreans have also sent.
Dozens of M1989.
Howitzers and.
M1991.
Rocket launchers.
North Korean.
Reinforcements are.
Indispensable to.
The ‘orcs’ war effort.
Hurling assault group.
After assault group.
At ‘elves’ positions.
In a desperate effort.
To take, or retake.
As much territory as possible.
Before the inauguration of.
U.S. President-elect winner.
Potentially upends.
The politics of the wider war.
In late January.
The ‘orcs’ have been losing.
Between 1,200.
And 2,000 troops.
And up to a hundred vehicles.
Every day for months.
To defeat the twin offensives.
In the Donbas and Kursk.
The ‘elves’ not only.
Have to keep attriting.
‘Orcs’ forces.
—they also have to start attriting.
North Korean forces, too.
That campaign has just begun.
*Because I read “Ukrainian Drones Are Hunting Down North Korean Vehicles Fighting For The Russians” by David Axe on 5 Dec 2024 on the Forbes, and also “Why are Ukrainians calling Russians ‘orcs’?” by James FitzGerald on 30 Apr 2022 on the BBC news.
So, I wrote this poem.
