Product description : North Korean KPA LMG Squad

North Korean KPA LMG Squad
The forces of the KPA were vast, incorporating between 150,000 - 200,000 personnel, divided into 10 Infantry divisions, 1 Tank division, and 1 Air Force division.
Although North Korean conscription was in effect before the outbreak of war, many young men were encouraged or pressed into service by their own families for the promise of financial reward.At the outbreak of the Korea war in 1950, the KPA were better prepared in every way for the coming conflict.
Not only were they better trained and more favourably equipped, but earlier guerilla warfare in South Korea had also left ROKA forces little time to re-establish a strong military presence.
As such, the initial attacks on June 25, 1950, were highly effective.The KPA foot soldier has long been celebrated for his ability to endure the worst the enemy, the harsh Korean climate, and the hardships his own superiors can throw at him.
Modelled on the mechanized Soviet Army, sporting armaments supplied by Stalin and bolstered by veterans released from China, the KPA forces were considerably larger and more dangerous than the UN anticipated.
KPA LMG Squad The basic KPA infantry squad consisted of ten men led by a sergeant and a junior sergeant (equivalent to a Corporal).
Each squad included a light machine gun and required a second man to act as a loader.
Typically the LMG would be the DP (Degtyaryov Pekhotny) machine gun, nicknamed the ?record player? for its distinctive round pan magazine.Contains 10 metal modelsModels supplied unassembled and unpainted
