Thanks to your mention of Afghanistan, I remembered a topic mostly ignored in Russian-language publications about that war: the ethnic composition of the losses.
Russian Wiki states the totals without going deep into details. Total: 15,051, including 14,427 in the Army. Not including POWs, MIAs and those who died in the hospitals in the USSR.
Ukrainian Wiki provides more details, such as ethnicity. The top five are Russians 6,888, Ukrainians 2,378, Uzbeks 1,066, Belarusians 723, and Tatars 442.
Of 5 Soviet generals who died in Afghanistan, 2 were Russians, 1 Ukrainian, 1 Belarusian, 1 Buryat-Polish (his mother was a descendant of Poles exiled in Siberia).

The DPRK Army has quite a few weapon systems disquised as ordinary civilian vehicles, including rocket launchers disguised as dump trucks.

Glorious Leader knows western militaries avoid civilian targets and works in that direction.

Sending them to Ukraine pretty much ruins his clever element of surprise...

Glorious Leader is stupidly optimistic.
