Victory or Failure in the Fight

Special operation forces exert an important influence on deciding victory or defeat in the modern warfare.
They perform a powerful function of striking the military commanding bases and major military objects in any operation spaces of the ground, sea and air and taking advantage of the war with operations for harassing the enemy's rear.
In September and October, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, visited the training base of the special operation forces of the Korean People's Army and the training base of the special operation units in the western area to encourage the combatants.

He attaches importance to ideology in the work for strengthening the special operation forces.
Inspecting the training bases, he set forth the task of putting main efforts into strengthening elite Korean-style special operation forces, saying that even a well-prepared army is nothing but rabble if it has no ideology and that victory will always be on the side of the servicemen when they become genuinely patriotic soldiers who know the Party, the country and the people before knowing how to fight.
And he called for wonderfully cultivating and giving full play to the political and ideological advantages peculiar to the KPA and thus preparing the soldiers as the strongest in mental power.
Victory in a battle depends on with what idea and for what the soldiers fight, not on the combat data of arms and equipment.
