Does North Korea have lazers or is this propaganda?

Literally everything regarding North Korea is propaganda.

>>32410352
probably has a few of those chinese laser things that hurt your eyes from the 90s.

Like a lot of failed and experimental chinese shit it got dumped on them. They'll never use it and the effectiveness of it as an actual weapon is dubious at best

Wasn't it a Nork military parade not too long ago that was full of farm tractor-pulled USSR missiles and 1950's trucks?

These guys don't have shit.

>>32410449
>not too long ago
They've been using those tractors and missiles since the soviets dumped the obsolete technology on them.

Most of their stuff is hand me downs from China or the former Soviet Union

They actually do have lasers, my dad works for Kim Jong-un and he told me they do

>>32410399
>Weight (without battery): 35 kilograms (77 lb)

Ayyyyyy lmao!

>>32410449
Even their indigenous designs are basically just riced-out T-62s because they can't sustain the technological or skilled industrial base to move past purely mechanical stuff into the mass produced electronics required in the later designs.

>>32410352
>Spending a fortune on the military when you have a sustainable supply of slave labor
I smell bullshit

>>32410352
If it's North Korea, and you're in doubt or have to ask, they're probably lying or distorting the truth.

In fact, even if you aren't suspicious, assume they lie.
Never trust Socialists, especially don't trust Stalinists/Maoists, they're worse than Hitlerists.

>>32410497
Not entirely true, some of it's newer, they ordered a bunch of tractors and other shit from Volvo back in the 80's, then they never paid for them, they still owe us a couple of millions.

Also they used their embassy in our country to run drugs and moonshine.
Us Swedes are a gullible lot.

>>32410352
>Stick a shitty laser pointer on a Type 56
>Call it an advanced laser designator
>North Korea can into Lasers!

They supposedly have blinding lasers, which is likely true. they're not hard to develop.

But like the other anon said, the propaganda about the Norks goes both ways.

>>32410352
Probably, but laser/microwave/directed energy in general weapons tend to be terribly inefficient, bulky, and power hungry compared to normal guns, bombs, and missiles.

>>32410352
>same amount of submarines as the US navy.

This is Kim Jong Un personal submarine.

>>32412037
the US has 75 currently commissioned subs and the norks have between 65 and 80 depending on whose counts you believe.

but they're all diesel electric.

Numbers like that as scary as they sound are irrelevant when they aren't even close to the same capability and range.

>>32410352
More concerning than the lasers.. NK has a "Cyber Warfare" unit? This is the only place on Earth so locked down they don't have amateur radio, but we're supposed to believe they are allowed on the internet?

>>32412459
You're also supposed to believe that they have computers at all.

Or at least anything beyond a commodore 64 in capability, minus their tractor sim for the tourists

>>32410363
What was that Göbbels quote again?
Something something propaganda is at its best when true.

They have everything that money can buy from China, all in the capital for the elites. They oppress 95% of the country but they're not retarded. Of course they have internet and a cyber warfare unit because almost all of their money is invested in the military. It's one of the easiest ways to fuck with S. Korea now.

>>32412594
T. Uniformed idiot.

>>32412519
Funny words from a guy who lied through his teeth.

>>32412594
>They have everything that money can buy
So nothing?

This sounds like they're using dazzlers to me. Basically big laser pointers but not wicked laser big.

Even more terrifying than working on a Chink submarine. And trust me, that's a pretty fucking high bar to pass.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_submarine_361

"On April 16, 2003, all 70 crew members of the submarine were killed when the diesel engine failed to shut down while the boat was submerged and used up all the oxygen on board. Tthe crippled boat was discovered by Chinese fishermen on April 25, 2003, when they noticed the periscope sticking out. The submarine was then towed initially to Yulin on Hainan Island, and later towed back to the northeast seaport of Dalian. The submarine was drifting for ten days because it was on a silent, no-contact drill."

Can you imagine their final moments, frantically fighting to shut down the diesel engines as they suffocate to death? Can you fucking imagine being the first guy on board to try and figure out just why it ended up going quiet? Submarines are terrifying.

>crewmembers frantically trying to break radio silence or surface the sub so they can fucking breathe

Hello? Earth to retard, the elite enjoy high standard of living in NK.

>>32415054
High for Asians outside of Japan and the Tigers, maybe. Not high by any stretch of the imagination for your average Western citizen.

>b-but KJI drank henny every day

Wow, neat. I can walk to the store and buy sixty bottles too.

>>32415059
Sure you can kiddo.

>>32414892
All subs are horrible things.
Many years ago I did some joint ops with our 'wonderful' submariners and aside from being locked in a metal pipe with dozens of degenerate troglodytes, being told to touch nothing, you do begin to appreciate just how damn dependant you are on everything working... let alone how fucking mental it would get when something goes wrong, or the ultimate lunacy of ordinance being sent your way.

>>32415069
>walking to the store to buy alcohol is some kind of unobtainable luxury

Did you lose your virginity in a bunker, Bledar Januzaj? What kind of Communist failure did you grow up in?

>>32412459

They do have some serious cyber capabilities.

Consider how limited they are for kinetic options. Cyber warfare is a perfect way of being able to apply a county's will without crossing the conflict threshold.

See North Korea v Sony. See Russia v Estonia. See US&Israel vs Iran.

>>32415054
The upper class of NK enjoys a technology standard comparative to the 1980s.

>>32415059
>henny
Why do Asians love that shit so much? Between that and Remy I swear it's all they fucking drink.

You can buy lasers for $2.50 in a bin at 7-11 it's not impressive.

>>32415021
For the record, if it wasnt for the safety circuit, it only takes 8 minutes for that diesel to eat all the oxygen on the sub. Happened to the Aussies once too.
