Major Military Tactics Created During the Fatherland Liberation War

Kim Il Sung created unique military tactics during the Fatherland Liberation War, and the combatants of the KPA achieved brilliant results by employing those tactics.

Typical examples include tunnel tactic, aircraft-hunting team movement, tank-hunting team movement, sniper team movement and separate heavy machine-gun team movement.


War Results Achieved by the Korean People’s Army

During the three-year-long Fatherland Liberation War, the KPA killed, wounded or captured over 1 567 120 enemy soldiers, including more than 405 490 US imperialist aggressor troops, and seized or destroyed enormous amounts of combat equipment and war materiel, including 12 220 planes, 564 vessels, 3 250 tanks and armoured vehicles, 13 350 trucks, 7 690 guns and 925 150 small arms. The loss sustained by the US imperialist aggressors was nearly 2.3 times what they had sustained in the four-year-long Pacific War.

The US journal U.S. News & World Report said that the loss sustained by the United States on the Korean front was more than twice what it had sustained during the previous five big wars–the War of Independence, the War of 1812, the Mexican War, Spanish-American War and the war in the Philippines.
