There is yet to be hard evidence of there being North Korean infantry there, unlike there is for those operating SRBM's.

Hard evidence would be difficult if they're dressed in Russian gear, since corpses don't speak Korean. Both South Korean and Ukrainian intelligence are saying the same thing though.

The V-BAT’s extended range of up to 483 km (300 miles) and prolonged loitering capabilities gave Ukrainian forces a tactical advantage. Tseng emphasized that the Ukrainian troops previously relied on drones with limited endurance and range, often restricted to 60 to 100 kilometers and operational durations as brief as 10 to 15 minutes. In contrast, the V-BAT can loiter for eight to 11 hours, allowing for sustained surveillance and the ability to identify multiple targets over a single deployment.

The V-BAT can stay airborne for 8 to 11 hours, monitor targets over long distances, and maintain continuous surveillance. This extended loitering capability far surpasses that of many conventional drones, offering tactical advantages by allowing operators to observe and track targets for prolonged periods.

A crucial feature of the V-BAT is its resilience against electronic warfare. In modern conflict zones where EW systems are deployed to disrupt communications and reconnaissance, the V-BAT’s design makes it highly resistant to jamming and other interference tactics. This EW resistance is vital for maintaining reliable communication and data transmission, especially when it comes to gathering intelligence and designating targets in active, contested airspace.

The V-BAT is also distinguished by its ability to transmit real-time data over long distances, enabling it to provide actionable intelligence directly to artillery and missile systems. This capability allows it to support coordinated precision strikes by relaying accurate targeting information to systems like HIMARS (High Mobility Artillery Rocket System), thereby enhancing the effectiveness of these strikes in battlefield operations.
