Tell me about Best Korea's military. I've heard they

>>32094906
>I've heard they only have fuel and ammunition for less than a month of war

They wouldn't last a week. It would be easier than Iraq 2. All their shit is broke and they don't have enough money to train people to fix it, much less buy parts.

Also their entire population is literally fucking starving. I doubt must of the norks have enough energy to run a mile. We'd slaughter them.

The humanitarian mess afterwards would be worse though.

>>32094906
T34-85s.

Of course we would absolutely steam roll them but IMO the shittiness of a ground war in best Korea would boil down to how much everyone there actually drinks the koolaid. They have the tunnels and fortifications to give hell in asymmetric warfare, but if no one's willing to fight of course that's a moot point. I think it's hard to say what the average nork would do. Surely they know that the dear leader shit is just smoke up their ass, but if the ravenous U.S. comes storming across the horizon completely rolling over everyone like you've always been told would happen would you lay down your rifle?

The propaganda goes both ways in North Korea. The story that children saved pictures of Dear Leader during a flood are untrue.

When the Navy says that their missiles "fell into the sea" what they mean is that "we shot down one of their missiles"

I suspect western media has greatly exaggerated reports of famine. Their equipment is shit but they would fight fanatically.

Pyongyang has a long history of being the epicenter of Korean wars.

mobile phones have started becoming a thing in best korea. There could be a mass propaganda campaign before an invasion that could lessen the fanaticism.

>>32094906
Actual military would last far less than a month. Dealing with ensuing insurgency and establishing any sort of control over the country would make Vietnam look like a weekend and grandma's.

>>32097591
Propaganda campaign can work only if there is NO invasion, but a slow economic intervention and military influence encroachment under peaceful causes. That's how Soviet Union got fucked. By actually going there and actually dropping incendiaries on their hospitals and kindergartens you literally make all the brainwashing propaganda true. From that point a nork doesn't have to be brainwashed to believe the Great Leader. He has to be brainwashed to believe YOU.

It's garbage, but there's alot of it.
Artillery pointed at Seoul in particular.
And nukes.

>>32095028
There's a wealth of information out there about the North Korean psyche from reporters that grill escaped refugees in the South. What's weird is that they love the Dear Leader even when conditions are really shitty, like in the 90's famine. They blame it on the West, or themselves for not working hard enough.

So much propaganda from both sides no one on an internet message board is going to be able to give a well informed answer.

I think you can tell that they're better equipped/trained than Iraq since the US has been so much more circumspect in dealing with them than say, Iraq.

Of course that could be because any escalation will draw China in, whereas we could airstrike Iraq with impunity.

Also no oil or Israeli lobby to push US into confrontation.

But like I said, so little objective information in the public domain we're really just guessing.

Condition people from birth to believe that and what can you expect?

I think while the actual military aspect might be fairly trivial, you would probably be dealing with some level of insurgency for a long time- and the humanitarian aid required would be enormous.

And it would make the east / west Germany divide look like nothing... never mind that worst korea already has one of the worst levels of inequality in the developed world. It would take at least three David Hasselhoffs to bring them together, and we only have one.

>>32098362
>They blame it on the West
Well, you DID kinda bomb them back to stone age and enforced an economic and political blockade against them, restricting all their restoration efforts to Chinese anal lordship (and the last thing China ever wanted out of Korea is a functional independent nation).

Not saying it was a bad thing to bomb them back to the stone age and keep them there, but can't blame them for blaming West for their current state of affairs. And considering said state in it's context, they are doing quite okay. Compare to mudslims in similar situations.

>>32098362
You're assuming that escapees aren't giving exaggerated info to ensure their usefulness and they won't be sent back.

Also assuming they aren't N. Korean plants spreading disinfo about how fanatical the Norks actually are to make the US?S Korea more wary of escalation.

Wouldn't be the craziest thing the Norks have ever done.

>>32098615
They're not better equipped or trained than Iraq91. Not by any measure. They can't modernize because if they can't buy any export models that include electronics that exceed their indigenous supply capabilities, which is roughly 1965.

Nobody wants to challenge the status quo because there is literally no outcome that does not result in everyone, everywhere getting shit on.

SK or America initiates? Seoul and much of northern south korea is in ruins. SK is suddenly forced to dedicate massive amounts of its GDP into a crash program to jumpstart the NK economy 65+ years forward. Full of people who have basically zero modern skillsets, many who will likely be activley hostile to the idea, causing terrorism and insurgency problems for literal decades. Meanwhile, the sudden disappearance of a major economic trading power from the world stage means a worldwide economic slowdown on par with the 2008 crisis.

China initiates? Unlikely, but NK goes insane anyways, probably shits on Seoul anyways out of paranoia, and SK gets shit on anyways because of the massive refugee influx. PRC sets up NK as an official puppet state, status quo is largely maintained except everyone is worse off. PRC has to dump resources into NK. SK got fucked up because crazy paranoid dictator, and huge influx of refugess with zero modern job skills.

North Korea was firmly part of the second world during the Cold War. It was treated favourably by both China and the USSR as well as countries in their sphere of influence, in fact, for long after the Korean War it was better off in many respects than South Korea. If anything, its own policy of self-reliance (Juche) is highly responsible for isolating it.

>>32099918
You know, sometimes you have to think this is an exaggeration, but then again, Americans did some fucked up shit in Vietnam, so I bet that the South Korean War was similar and that is where all of this comes from.

This is from March of this year, nevermind all the other years of famine they've had, where they had to resort to eating tree bark and begging the Sorks and US for food aid.

The only thing keeping the majority of Norks fed and supplied with basic necessities right now is the black market and smuggling from China.

Certainly they're not starving to death right now like they were in 1995, but they're probably not very far from it either.

Dunno, Korea was relatively a formal conflict in a lot of ways. There was probably some fuckery going on by both sides but can't recall reading about any of it aside from the chinks being cunts to prisoners.

Somewhat ironically, when the US went to Vietnam they took us Aussies along, but they also don't make mention of the large contingent South Korean's that went too and they where savage motherfuckers! "Asian-Fights" tend to be pretty no holds barred stuff where all kinds of nasty shit goes down.

>>32101951
They've been building it since 1987, and they still haven't even started on the interior.

Nork Artillery is in range of Seoul though, and even in the short amount of time it would take for the Sorks and US to curbstomp them, they'd probably be able to inflict huge damage and casualties on it.
After that, they'd probably just be completely routed through overwhelming superiority.

>>32094906
The issues are neither fuel nor the ammunition, the food is the biggest one.

After the flood and sanction, how many food they have to keep their soldiers to fight is a big big question.

>>32099623

I have no reason to think of NK's military as anything less than laughable, but there's also no reason to believe that the country has actually zero economy and total inability to feed its war machine

after all, if it couldn't, it would have collapsed to such a state that the world would intervene as just a humanitarian crisis. but they're apparently strong enough to keep the world out, so they must be doing something right

>>32102286
isn't NK's food problem kinda like what Stalin was doing in Russia? Food stocks were there, but they weren't getting to the people because of a combination of genuine administrative problems and outright intentional starvation of populations the powers that be dislike

>>32102302
NK's food shortage seems to be more similar to Mao's than to Stalin's. Shitty economic planning resulting in not enough farmers who know what they're doing resulting in starvation.

>>32094906
Think about what isolated little shitstain countries supported by a big bro nation usually tend to do:

Israel bullied the Germans into building them a NPP that can produce weapons-grade shit, then bullied the Germans further into giving them U-Boats capable of Second Strike capabilities to destroy everything around Israel in case Israel gets attacked or, god forbid, finally glassed.

Now look at the Norks: The war, while practically over, was never really ended - and of course they noticed that all of their weapons are shit that's outdated and can't fight a war like back in the 50s. Of course they noticed that China, while still their bestie, isn't exactly their best friend in the world anymore. Of course they have some economical ties with Russia, like sending 40+ year old Nork Family Fathers into Siberia to chop down trees, but Russia wouldn't stand by their side in case of a war.

What they do have is a good lot of Artillery, including the mighty KOKSAN, so all they can hope for is to start the war and thus shoot the shit out of Seoul since that is easily within arty strike range and that South Korea is wise enough to not want to reunify ever since it would bankrupt them and end their nation.

There, all you need to know in one halfway informed opinion piece.

>>32102045
The part of Seoul is in range of NK artillery and that means that NK artillery has to be within a certain area in order to actually hit it. That combined with significant effort put into mapping NK positions and movements means that a majority of NK artillery positions would be hit with counter-battery fire moments after an attack started. Not to mention that if there is a heightened state of tension with the assumption of war you'd likely see evacuations beforehand and deployment of addition systems to take down NK positions.

>>32102302
>>32102333
NK food shortages are typical Korean stuff.

North of the country was always resource-rich but had worse conditions for farming, and even then, Koreans were one of the poorest people in the world in 1905, even fucking Zulu were usually better off. And then came 40 years of Japanese occupation. And then Korean war. And then SK was just as shit as NK until ~70's/80's. When Americans came to Korea they said that it may have relatively normal economy by 2000 if nothing bad happens so you can say that SK still outperformed.

>>32102410
Just to finish my point - it was very common for Korean peasants to be semi-starving before 1905, 1945, 1950, basically if we're talking about Korea history, the relative well-being of SK is probably the first time in history those people are so well-off. And we're still talking about country which president(not for much longer) is controlled by shadow government of crazy cultists.

Going to do a small dump from my DPRK folder, but if the Norks were to start shit then they may have the upper hand for probably a week, maybe two tops. They do have the numbers and vehicles (old as they may be) for a sustained push if it came to that. This is the best case scenario for them and doesn't factor in things like the fact that they don't have much if any fuel for large scale training maneuvers and the fact that decades of malnutrition means that the average Nork is much physically weaker than his southern counterpart. Yes, part of Seoul lies within range of the Norks heavy guns but I would direct you all to read the following
http://nautilus.org/napsnet/napsnet-special-reports/mind-the-gap-between-rhetoric-and-reality/
Yes, the Norks could fuck shit up for a short time. Then they'd get their shit pushed in hard. Fanaticism can only take up so much slack when you're enemies outpace you technologically and continue to bridge the gap exponentially with each passing year. I would anticipate the Norks turning to some pretty desperate shit towards the end (civilians pressed into service, chemical weapons/nukes, forcing kids to fight, etc) and a possibly lengthy insurgency, but there's very few outcomes where us and the ROK don't shitstomp them in the end.

Fair to say that they're not as poorly trained or motivated as the Iraqis, but unlike Iraq 91, North Korea doesn't have all the money and fuel they could ever need.

Many North Koreans will be fanatical and the KPA and Red Guard is huge, but when they quickly deplete their fuel and ammo reverses and loose the artillery pointed at Seoul I doubt they'll have enough fight left in them to mount an insurgency.

As I understand it, Worst Korea, working in concert with the U.S. would steamroll Best Korea in a matter of weeks. Unfortunately, during those weeks, Best Korea would shell the shit out of Seoul, quite possibly killing tens or hundreds of thousands of civilians.

Plus Worst Korea has nukes, so things could get really ugly if they have the means to deliver them.

A lot of the defectors from North Korea have said that North Koreans are now far more aware of what the outside world is like, with South Korean media smuggled in, and broadcasts including previous defectors on the radio.

No.
1) They'd be put out of action before they could amass even near that number of casualties.
2) South Korea is not stupid. Seoul is obviously at risk, if shelling starts people will be evacuated into subway stations, basements and out of the city itself.

The only reason North Korea exists is because its easier than dealing with it falling apart. Spolier: South Korea doesn't want North Korea back.

>>32103228
No. Best Korea would probably have a few minutes of shelling at full capacity at best. While they have artillery capable of reaching parts of Seoul, it makes up a fraction of their total artillery pieces, is restricted to where it can be deployed in order to actually hit Seoul, would need to be fairly close to the DMZ, and be protected by incredibly shitty air defenses. That's not even getting into the potential manufacturing quality issues and age issues of the guns or dud rate on their shells.

Not anymore really, South Korea is a more important trade partner for China, and China is sick of North Korea causing trouble.

In case of war, China's main aims would be to end it as soon as possible (perhaps by offering exile and immunity from international law to senior regime figures), to prevent vast numbers of (potentially armed) refugees flooding north-east China, and to prevent the USA from gaining bases on the Chinese border.

>>32103500
In the case of a war between the Koreas and the USA, China might actually invade North Korea to establish a buffer state and secure continued access to resources.

Here's the difference between America and, say, the Empire of Japan in WWII: official army policy. It was neither the mandate nor the intent of the US Army to massacre civilians in WWII or Korea. Where it did happen, if soldiers were caught by a higher authority, they were punished / court-martialed / imprisoned as a matter of official policy.

In Nanking, however, members of the Japanese royal family gleefully presided over mass-scale ethnic cleansing, torture, and rape.

War is hell, and some small units will always go nuts and start fragging civilians (on both sides). Whoever's in command can either try to keep a lid on things, or fan the flames. In all modern military conflicts, the US Army has done the former.

Anyway, if you post literal North Korean propaganda paintings, of course they'll portray US soliders as baddies. If you wanna make this an ethnic argument, just Google "south korean soldiers in vietnam" to see how Worst Korea treats their enemy combatants (hint: typical East Asian society-levels of mind numbing dehumanization).

China gives them shit to keep them silent but if there is a fight china wont support Nkorea. It will fuck up their relationship with Skorea and USA as well as cost them a lot of troops. As they would have to supply their own weapons and troops as Nkorea lacks those. And why would you fight a war for someone else you dont like?

The 30 thousand US military personnel aren't there to prevent the Norks from invading, they're there to discourage the South from surprise curbstomping Best Korea when the first opportunity presents itself. The idea is that is that South Korea would think twice and even thrice before endangering their best ally's troops.

Its good enough for defensive action.

The majority of the spending is going to the nuclear program and the ballistic missile program. With five nuclear tests over ten years it is safe to assume that they know how to build a nuke. The missile program is well-developed, Best Korea produces some of the best ballistic missiles outside of the MTCR in impressively large numbers. Chemical warheads are also available. Best Korean doctrine calls for a overwhelming ballistic missile first strike, including WMD armed weapons, on ports and airfields to prevent US reinforcement of the peninsula.

The army is a mixed bag, the infantry is of questionable quality and armor is obsolete at best but the quality of ATGMs, MANPADS and artillery is generally high. Training in particular is very poor, some defectors reporting as low as 3 rounds per year used in training but the massive numbers of weapons offsets this to a degree.

The air force is obsolete.

The navy is surprisingly modern, with Kh-35 knockoffs, heavily armed gunships, submarines and a new low visibility frigate. It also has the numbers to fight a sustained (number of weeks) campaign contesting the waters around the Korean peninsula.

The geography of Korea is extremely mountainous and crisscrossed by rivers, this makes it extremely easy to defend. This is not the open desert, any advance into Korea would be slow, an advance against entrenched opposition even slower.

South Korea is basically what would have happened if the cold war didn't end in 1992. On one hand, the South Koreans have an easier job with their indigenous designs because their adversary isn't changing weapons or tactics at all. It's like if you took the design principles for 1980s tech and just kept making it better instead of graduating into 5th gen fighters and beyond. They have a variant of the F15 that might surpass western versions in conventional combat effectiveness, and an air superiority fighter that might rival or exceed the F16. Plus, their soldiers are goddamned insane. Hardcore doesn't even begin to describe some of the shit they do.
https://youtu.be/XVXQlkpaC5k

On the other hand, they have a numerical disadvantage that makes the Fulda Gap look like easy mode. Their doctrines closely follow western front NATO from around 1986. However, while Gulf War 1 taught the PRC that sheer numbers can't overcome a technological gap, the Norks just doubled down. There's no question that they'd lose, but it would be extremely costly by every measure.

Not really, South Korea has a lot of reservists. Considering that the North Korean army spends more time as farm labourers than training as soldiers, I'm fairly sure South Korean reservists will compete favourably with Northern active duty. Also the 30,000 US troops in Korea, those in Japan as, well as further afield, will make a major contribution numerically.

Not arguing that SK couldn't match and overcome them, but NK keeps a standing army of something around a million, whereas SK is looking to reduce their standing forces and rely more heavily on force multipliers while still maintaining force parity with the NK hordes.

If shit is well and truly fucked and things go hot, Kadena and US forces Japan could likely have air support there in about an hour, Guam in about 3-4 hours, Strategic Bombers from Diego Garcia in 9-10.

It's all about the first 92 hours or so before the first heavy hitting US ground forces start showing up. Not saying that SK can't defend itself, just that unless NK wins completely in that window, they've basically lost.

>>32098615
I think an important factor to note is how the officer corps interacts with the average infantryman. To the best of my knowledge, the Iraqi officer corps was made up of wealthier sunni citizens as opposed to the majority of infantrymen who were shiite, which can and did cause a disconnect between the leadership and the actual operating units. as far as i have seen documented, North Korean generals seem to attempt to create cults of personality around themselves in much the same way that the country swears allegiance to Kim Jong Un. this has been evidenced by mutinies in North Korea where a large majority of troops at the divisional level will follow their commander first. if we were to go to war, we'd need to assess commanders willingness to fight as well as their loyalty to Kim Jong Un as our gauge as opposed to overarching assumptions about the whole of the North Korean military that are mostly baseless.

here's some best korea stronk material
>all they have is antique equipment, lol soviet artillery and ak's and old tanks
because modern ballistics have come so far. not like the M2 or howitzers are used by anyone else still. all they have is old artillery? thats all they need. now think about them having fortified and dug everything into FUCKING MOUNTAINS for more than half a century. Half a century of preparing for an inevitability can really give you an advantage if youre only worried about air strikes and counter arty barrages.

>they are starving peasants that will defect after they see a mcdonalds
yeah fucking right. Norks produce the closest thing we have to super soldiers on this planet. these are the hardest motherfuckers with the programming to make them efficient. take russian level operators then add ISIS level fanaticism. if you give a nork special forces guy a knife and a rowboat and tell him to gut some general in SK he's not only gonna try, he's gonna die trying or he's gonna succeed and he's got a decent chance.

turn Florida into a homogeneous brain washed population. now subtract all the air power and naval power they have. now add mountains. lots of mountains and again a half century of stockpiles and fortification in a nation that's completely devoted to the military. so all their entire GDP is going into fucking shelling the US north of florida. you think we would just walk over that in a month? initial contact and they would flatten everything within reach of artillery in every state north of florida. now add tunnels that can funnel a few thousand soldiers intent on guerrilla tactics and especially trained to fuck up anything advancing from behind enemy lines and are gonna operate indefinitely without command until they get killed.

really. honestly not trolling. Norks would definitely go down. but they would fucking wreck shit for 6 months solid.

It basically comes down to if we have enough money to help with the Nork relief effort.

Letting Kimmy stay in charge would cause far more Norks to die, and an invasion by the US and the Sorks will cause their shitty military to BTFO bretty fucking quick.

The main issue would be dealing with the mass refugees, lack of an economy and education, and the overall shit state that North Korea is in. More civvies would die from starving and/or rebelling against occupying forces due to being discontent (we're still hungry and now have no national pride). Feed the people and give them proper care and I doubt they'd be much resistance.

>>32110170
Yes, I agree that too many assume that NK will fall over the moment it gets a push. Its almost as if the norks are simultaneously trying to devote themselves wholly to killing Americans while trying to be seen as a credoble threat.

Anon, that's a propaganda project and they still fucked it up.

Until 2010, it was a national embarassement, to the point that guides were supposed to ignore questions about it from the tourists.
It was the visible proof that NK was in bad shape from a 20 years-long economical depression due to a bad case of "no more free money from USSR".

They "got better" since but only to the point that they managed to put windows on the fucking thing.
It was due to open in 2012.
It was then reported to 2013.
And now, in 2016, it's still closed.

So unless Kim is pulling a long joke and hidding ubernukes in it, it's not an achievement, it's a symbol of fucking failure.

Wealth inequality is a thing; it is not a good or bad thing on its own. You can't really justify it being the natural sign of a "healthy and laissez-faire economy" economy either. You can point at pretty much any oligarchy, communist society, or monarchy and see wealth concentrated in the upper echelons of that society. It's the natural order of things apparently for humans; the point is that it is particularly evident in South Korea.

The implication of that is that there is a very large underclass and as such no room to absorb a bunch of filthy best koreans.

But no, wealth inequality is emphatically not a "good" thing, particularly not if you might have to deal with a bunch of shitty refugees streaming across your border one day.

It wouldn't last a month. They have the ammo and fuel, but we would shrek their logistics instantly. The Norks literally depend on food supplies looted during an invasion to feed their advancing army. We would cut them off and murder them in the field. Seoul and maybe Tokyo would get some low-yield nukes. Seoul would get pounded by artillery for a while before we counterbatteried all the Nork pieces.

The invasion would last a week and then we would have to absorb 23 million retard Norks.

However people and their nations and their countries don't behave like that if they don't have things gone very wrong. Plenty of evidence in history. Ceaucescu, Hoxa, Amin, Stalin... Come on.

Don't forget: best way to deal with threat of US air power is by having tons of camouflaged tunnels and lots of decoys.

DPRK has been digging tunnels and making decoys for fucking decades

>>32094947
Do you have a source on any of that?

>>32108942
You laugh, but it's a good way to hide from the prying eyes of enemy air power

>>32115329
Just bomb the entrances and then, bomb those some more. Lock them inside. Eventually they will dig themselves out from those, and well, either ask them to stop resisting ("stop resisting" doesn't make them to lose face) or in case of deliberate ignorance, shoot them.

>DPRK has been digging tunnels and making decoys for fucking decades

Listen, this is no Vietnam anymore.

Even the Western civilian commercial topographical mapping satellite systems have given them away at least 90+ %. Come on.

Google Earth satellite systems has given them away for the last 4 years for everyone to see. See it yourself. Are you an analyst? Probably not. But you can learn to be one. It is a skill, and the data is right there.

Most of those American soldiers aren't even combat arms. There might be a regiment or two of infantrymen in South Korea.

>>32102302
North Korea is a mountainous and cold country; very little food can be grown there. They are so embarrassed about their crops, you cannot take pictures without permission. Most of their food comes from foreign aid.

>>32099387
Highly doubt that, when the first mass waves of escapees started coming over in the 90's it was when people were eating each other to avoid starving. The Norks are fanatical, but everyone has a breaking point. In certain parts of NK conditions are so shitty that it's not unthinkable to leave Best Korea if you and your family are dying before your very eyes.

I think that they should just airdrop loads of leaflets telling them if they surrender they'll be treated well, fed up with delicious fattening foods, and get airdrops of porn featuring genuine big-tittied American shores

Give them consumer goods as well. Good clothes, shoes, some electronics etc.

The biggest problem is the retard tier planning on the NK government's part.

They were so obsessed with looking good, that they built a dam that ended up flooding something like over a third of their usable farmland.

You do realise that horses were the Germans main form of supply transport right? Strafing them made complete sense and not just because it was fun.

>>32120027
I know, but we're aware that the Norks use tractors to transport shit for .mil reasons, so we'd strafe them too

they fucked it up even more than that. rumors state that the elevator shafts are not straight and the entire building is too unaligned to do anything with. The building is also rumored to be several centimeters off on most of the main structure points but due to gulag scare no workers or designers reported this until the building was mostly complete and it was too late to either start over or fix the mistakes.

in short, its structurally retarded and the government can't tear it down due to muh pride and admitting to waste of probably a shit ton of money that could have fed thousands and they can't finish it or use it because of build quality.

the people who live in north korea are hard as fuck. They live in 3rd world conditions and are regularly brutalized by the ruling party. The people who make up the bulk of their claimed armed forces are just starving unequipped laborers.

we shouldn't underestimate their individual will. but overall we would steamroll their military. they would probably make it to Seoul if they invaded and then the US would show up in force.

>>32103452
If shit goes down, China will flatten North Korea into a 200 mile strip of uninhabitable wasteland to keep South Korea (America) from getting one inch closer to their border.

>>32121709
Funny that, the US in the Korean war was going to do the same to the border there with cobalt-nukes to 'salt the earth' so to speak

"now subtract all the air power and naval power they have."

That's your problem. Fighting a conventional war is impossible when all of your heavy assets get blown away from standoff range by an airforce you have no way of shooting back at and buttfucked with ship-launched cruise missiles.

And what do you do when half of those turn out to be false, and you can't tell which ones? Or even if you do lock them in the tunnels, do you not think that they've prepared for that? North Korea may not have the equipment, and it may have sub-par training (maybe), but it certainly has tenacity, and it is dangerously prepared
