"North Korea's Armed Forces: On the path of Songun seeks to bring order and coherence to the chaotic state of affairs in the intelligence community of North Korea-watchers, as well as to disprove the much-echoed stance that there is little to fear from the DPRK by providing information on a plethora of never-before described weapons systems and modernisation programmes. North Korea's Armed Forces maps the most important events from the inconclusive ceasefire struck at the end of the Korean War, throughout the Cold War until modern day, and an especially heavy emphasis is placed on the current status of the Korean People's Army by examining their wealth of indigenously-designed weaponry. In the course of the book not only will many of the Korean People's Army's most secret projects and tactics be unveiled, but also new light will be shed on the deadly flare-ups between the North and the South, and novel evidence on tragic incidents such as the Cheonan sinking and Yeongpyeong bombing of 2010 is brought forth. Moreover, an up-to-date, comprehensive listing of the equipment holdings of several branches of the Korean People's Army is included, offering a numerical assessment of its naval and aerial capabilities. From the recently introduced stealth missile boats, ballistic missile submarines and main battle tank families to their often-ignored indigenous aircraft industry, virtually all indigenous weapons systems are discussed extensively. This exclusive content is illustrated by over forty detailed colour artworks and various maps put together through exhaustive research and analysis, as well as around 170 unique images, many of which have never before been seen by the general public. Through scrutiny of satellite footage, the observation of North Korean propaganda outlets and by carefully examining information from the United States Department of Defense, the DPRK's advances in each of the Korean People's Army's respective branches are uncovered. Nearly all of the 'hermit kingdom's' military exploits are included and an accurate picture of the North's capabilities in both symmetrical and asymmetrical warfare is provided. This book was written specifically for anyone interested in North Korea's military capabilities or looking to find answers to many questions raised by the minefield of contradictory statements and misinformation that make up current intelligence about this reclusive nation."

IF war broke out on the Korean Peninsula. The NoKos would be defeated, Un and his ilk would die and/or be charged with Crimes Against Humanity/War Crimes. Korea would be unified under the South's leadership, etc. Much of the initial damage would be from US air and naval assets, i.e. cruise missiles, JDAMs, MOABs, MOPs, etc., etc. The NoKo Air force, ADA and naval forces will be no match for the US and [hopefully] it's allies. The NoKo's have no combat experience since the Korean War, '50-'53. The US has been at war for some time, as we know. However, the loss to all combatants and non-combatants would be massive. Especially to the Koreans on both sides. And even though the defense of Korea is a UN mission. I don't know how many UN militaries would get involved ? Besides the ROK & US. The most likely would be Japan and maybe Australia(?). The PRC would be the wild card. And who knows maybe even Russia ? Regardless the loss in life and infrastructure would be enormous. With the North receiving the most damage and losses. Which afterwards the ROK would have to rebuild, deal with refugees, etc. |
