Propaganda video shows North Korean forces go through bizarre drills | They even smash bricks with their heads (photos)

A North Korean propaganda video has emerged video which shows soldiers being put through bizarre - including breaking bricks using their heads. Extreme exercises include man's hand being hit by sledgehammer.

The video shows the soldiers going through army drills as Kim Jong-un apparently looked on.

The extreme exercises include having large rocks smashed on their stomach and being beaten with sticks.

At one point, a young solider is seen putting his hand out before it is hit with a sledgehammer, leading to the bricks beneath it to break.

Another man, who is topless, is seen falling forcefully onto a large pane of glass.

The propaganda video is believed to have been filmed in 2014, but has recently re-emerged online.

The North Korean Army consists of around one million troops on the ground, as well as 4,200 tanks and 2,200 armored vehicle.
