Yeah, blue on blue incidents are common in war, and the less coordinated units are, the more likely it is to happen. I imagine the NK units are not well-integrated into the Russian command structure, so this is really something that they should have been expecting after haphazardly tossing NK units into combat mixed in near Russian units. Fucking idiots.

Theres no way they could be well integrated yet. They don't even know what telegram is! Let alone a smart phone.
