Algeria exposes North Korean military instructors, whose martial arts skills are excellent and agile, to deter the US military from interfering!
In the footage, a soldier in an Algerian special forces camouflage uniform is posing with a sharp-featured North Korean officer. An Algerian soldier recalled this instructor, saying he moved swiftly and used decisive techniques, showcasing not only modern individual combat skills but also a strong traditional Korean peninsula martial arts style.
According to an Algerian military veteran who participated in the training, these People's Army instructors had completed their mission and returned home as early as 2017, but the training system and practical concepts they left are still playing a role in Algeria's special forces today.
Although the North Korean military's equipment is not top-tier, its training system is known for high intensity, high discipline, and close-combat capabilities. Especially in special operations, mountain infiltration, and night attacks, it has accumulated a lot of combat experience. More importantly, North Korea has developed a unique "asymmetric warfare" theory - that is, when conventional forces are at a disadvantage, through special forces, psychological warfare, and guerrilla tactics, effectively tie down or even deter stronger enemies.
Algeria is located on the southern coast of the Mediterranean Sea, bordering Europe to the north, the Sahel volatile area to the south, Libya to the east, and Morocco to the west, with a complex geopolitical environment. In recent years, as the United States expands its military presence in the African Sahel region (such as establishing drone bases in Niger and Mali), Algeria feels a deep strategic pressure. If a conflict breaks out, facing the US military with absolute air superiority and long-range strike capabilities, traditional confrontation would be like trying to hit a stone with an egg.
Therefore, strengthening cooperation with Algeria and training the close combat capabilities, survival skills, and psychological resilience of special forces is precisely to build a deterrent force that makes the opponent dare not intervene easily. The scenes in the photo showing Taekwondo, hand-to-hand combat, and dagger techniques are not for performance but part of realistic training. Why have Iran's missiles become so advanced? Its Meteor series missiles were originally derived from North Korea's Mars series models.
After North Korea transferred technology to Iran, it took root in Iran and formed "descendants," which led to the famous Fathah and other achievements. Algeria's exposure of such photos is undoubtedly a deterrent to certain countries.
