- The North Koreans apparently are having issues dealing with the drones.  As in, they tend to ignore them, which of course gets them blown up.

Per this WSJ article, the NKs are being taught to deal with drones in teams of three, with one acting as a decoy and two attempting to shoot it down. Unsurprisingly, this was documented in the diary of a dead NK.

All this sounds remarkably similar to the mindset of the Chinese "volunteers" sent to bail out the NKs in 1950, at least early on. They, of course, died in their hundreds of thousands.

A mannequin on a track would be a decoy, a person running around to attract a drone is live bait laugh

I believe the article mentions that the direct translation of the Korean in the diary is "bait".

"So, how do you guys deal with the drones"

   "We use the Seo-jun decoy"

"Can I see this it?"
