North Korean Invasion.

[Apathy]

If the North Koreans invaded South Korea, what would the US do? How long would the war last? What if they use nuclear weapons against South Korea?

If war with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) comes...

The NKPA (North Korean People's Army) has about 500 long-range 240mm multiple rocket launcher systems and 170mm self-propelled guns to hardened sites located near the Demilitarized Zone. they could launch anywhere from 2,000 to 4,400 rounds into Seoul per minute one South Korean report said they could fire 10,000 rounds! Needless to say they could flatten Seoul rather quick. There are 37,000 US troops in Korea and the 8th Army and ROK units would have to hold on until more troops from the US could reinforce them. We may find ourselves in Pusan once again. And maybe we could pull another Inch'on and cut the NKPA apart with one shift blow.

As for the tanks the most advanced one is the T-90 (it has never been tested it battle) as well as countless outdated tanks such as the T-59 and T-34. They have about 3,500 tanks. There total manpower is 1,022,000 active troops 70% of their active force, including approximately 700,000 troops, over 8,000 artillery systems, and 2,000 tanks, is postured within 90 miles of the Demilitarized Zone. They lack fuel for their armour and other vehicles so they might find themselves setting ducks. Anyone who has seen a picture of a street in Pyongyang will notice that there are almost no cars driving around in the street. As look at a satellite photo of the NK at night it is almost totally dark which shows they have almost no electrical power.

The OOB of the NKPA can be found here:
http://www.globalsecurity.org/milita.../dprk/army.htm
As their Air Force: http://www.globalsecurity.org/milita...k/airforce.htm
And last but not least their Navy: http://www.globalsecurity.org/milita.../dprk/navy.htm

I have read some nasty things about their spec ops boys, to get in their one of things you gotta do is cross the DMZ and steal something (something like a sign and stuff like that). They have conducted raids into the ROK and most of the time they fail (although on time they took over a US submarine and keep it in their port as a prize).I found this link which has a lot of info about the spec ops of the DPRK

http://www.specwarnet.net/asia/NKSF.htm


The North Koreans have air force twice as large as that of the ROK however for most part it is vastly outclassed in terms of advanced aircraft, Hell they use Biplanes as recon aircraft. The average US/ROK pliot probably gets like 20 hours in the air a week, in NK a pliot would be lucky to get 20 hours of flight in a year (it is note worthly that if NK pliot crashes he will get shoot for destruction of goverment property).


In any case I see alot of the Immun Gun (Korean name for the NKPA) being largely destoryed in fighting on the DMZ. once however we reached the Yalu and the major large scale offensive operations were done. I see a long term bombing and small scale raids by partisans going on. Would China become involved? sending in hunderds of thousands of PLA soldiers across the Yalu as they did 55 years ago? Would Communist world wide come to the DPRK as many young islamic fighters have in Iraq to do their "duty" to Allah?

Just my 2 cents...

Is the Peanut Butter chunky or creamy???

The idea of nukes is kinda pointless when they could flatten a city like this.
This is what truely is scary, the massive stockpiles of artillery and shells.

[ogukuo72]

Things will go wobbly for a while in the world economy, but Samsung ahd Hyundai had located most of their factories, managers, R&D departments, money, etc. outside South Korea. I always wondered why the US should continue to be oblidged to defend such an ungrateful and pricky ally after the Cold War ended. Japan is by far the more important country to the US, and China is by far the larger market.

That depends. How many seconds have passed?

everyone is so dead scared of nukes... People complain about the atomic bombs being dropped on Japan. However when we fire bombed Tokyo we killed more people than at Hiroshima or Nagasaki. And yet no one complains about that. it is a nuclearphobia most people have. There other things more scary than nukes...

@ Ea$y-8

You make it sound like South-Korea is unarmed.

The Artillery Radars and USFK MLRS batteries on the border is not exactly a weapon to disregard.

That's just one point. NK is totally overhyped.

[Ea$y-8]

I am sorry if I made South Korea sound unarmed, I know they probably have one of the top ten best trained military's on earth.

at the risk of being called anti Iraq War I will post this picture

North Korea is the Cuba of Asia. It is something like the Spartans were to the Romans...quaint and interesting...but totally unimportant. They are anacronisims who continually wish for the importance they once had. China will keep Korea on a short leash. Korea plays around like they have nuclear capability and it serves our interest to keep folks wondering if they do or don't. In my opinion...they do not. But, that is just one guy's opinion. I base this on my very basic principle that if a nation actually had a nuclear bomb...they would detonate one to show it off and prove beyond any doubt they were now "Big". Well, that has simply not happened to date. This is especially true for N Korea. That little scummy nut that they call a President or Chairman or what ever...oh, yeah, "Beloved Leader"...is so nutzo he is almost laughable and if he had a bomb there is no doubt he would have already flashed it. But, the truth is, his people are so hungry they send kids across the Yalu to China to buy basic necessities and the military are so hungry they trade passes back and forth (they just look the other way...they don't really issue paper passes) for cups of rice the kids bring back. The "N K nuclear myth" is such a joke and a sham. The S Koreans perpetrate it in order to keep US troops in their country...it is a great economic booster since they don't have to devote so much of their GDP to military costs with US forces there and it keeps their "foregin aid" coffers filled to the brim. Imagine, one of the worlds richest economies and they get foreign aid form US tax payers...Hahahah! The US keeps the myth going so that they can excuse the presence of US forces on the doorstep of China, which the Japanese and the Taiwanes really appreciate...so they help the pretense along where they can...it all works out to everyone's advantage to pretend that N Korea is a real threat.

It is a huge joke and a fraud.

[Hollis]

Mastermind, I agree, China will control Korea. China is loving it's new financial prosperity and won't allow Korea to screw it up.

[Mastermind]

Yeah...just wait until that lake behind the Three Gorges Dam is full and fifty million people live in the flood plain below it and 65% of all of China's industry is in there...what a juicy nuclear target that will be. China will be on her very best behavior with other nuclear nations. A nation like N Korea really has nothing to lose...they have nothing...so thay can lose nothing. When nations become prosperous, they suddenly have something to lose and they very quickly become quite civilized.

You want to stop N Korea...bomb the country with Spam and Velvita cheese slices.

[Belrick]

Sometimes countries become/seem properous by living beyond there means for a short time to the point that they need to carry out military based expansions in order to prop up there economies on the point of real or perceived complete collapse.

Classic examples are Nazi Germany and GWB America. (oops the last one's invasion hasn't made it into the history books yet, getting ahead of myself there)

[393Bird]

I think the answer is obvious.

US and South Korea.
