US: N.Korea has world's largest artillery force

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Last Saturday the North's military reminded South Korea that its densely populated capital is "only 50 km away" from the border.

Sharp, commander of some 28,500 US troops in South Korea, said the North has "an old but very large military that is positioned in a very dangerous place, very close" to South Korea.

"They have a very large special operating force. It has the world's largest artillery force that is positioned as far south as possible and that can rain on Seoul today," he told local business leaders.

The North maintains 80,000 special forces and is believed to have some 13,000 artillery pieces deployed along the border, Sharp said.

Cross-border relations are at their worst in a decade.

Not my choice. This world probably do a better job:

JDAM delivered by B2 as a first strike would effectively neutralise the north side arty. the rest would be a turkey shoot. most difficult thing about it would be hitting the buggers with an infantry rifle, they're so starved they are only 12" wide and 48" tall. not a hard shot at 300 M, but more difficult that on a well fed target.

Maybe we should airdrop food first. Feed em, fatten em up, then lead em to slaugher. Just like poultry.

The North is very effective at keeping the ranks intact. Along the DMZ, there seems to be frequent defections from South to North, because of the propaganda being broadcast from the North. It is still a very dangerous place.

I wonder how many armchair generals are into tabletop wargames.

I don't think the B-2 can carry a payload of enough JDAMs as an effective way to silence 14,000 guns. There's only 21 of them in the entire Air Force.

The DPRK puts its few resources into the military so I assume the soldiers have more food than the usual N. Korean.

i agree..with ALC...the massive amount of artillery plus, SAMs would hinder a total destruction of all or even most pieces..and Kim is no fool..feed the troops cause they have the guns

[Nagishkaw 510]

Kim must have many guns himself as he looks VERY well fed.
