Posted on 22 July 2010 at 18:48:40 GMT Thanx Sultan. I already have that info.
I personally agree with the assesment that the South Korean/US forces would truly go like a buzzsaw through the DKPR forces.
However if they would set a limited goal of just capturing Seoul and given the fact that the allies will have virtually no warning if they go, the opening stages should prove interesting.
The North knows it's badly outclassed and is making adjustments for that.They know they will have to fight without air superiority for instance.
- large special forces units (100.000+ strong)to succesfully attack in the difficult terrain
- large, well constructed underground complexes so they will not need to expose their supply lines and they are using tunnels to cross part of the demarcation zone
- vast firepower in enormous artillery formations, all shielded in the underground complexes.
Combine that with Seoul within artillery range of the current pre-jump-off North Korean positions and the fact that all N. Korean formations are on constant full alert in their jump-off positions and you have a potent mix.
You and I wouldn't attack,but then again I would not torpedo a ship just like that or abduct dozens of japanese to learn from them either.
They're a bit crazy you know. And they have been geting away with it for decades. Why not grab Seoul and hold it hostage? They could consider it a somewhat winnable scenario, Especially if they can back it up with a nuke. |
