“Do you have any ideal how much destruction can be done,
flying 4 fighter jets, 1 mile apart, line abreast, at mach 1.5 or better, when crossing the border.”
I spent some time there at Kunsan which had 2 F16 squadrons. Once saw about 34 F16s on the runway lined up four abreast and took off in pairs. They did a mock airbase attack dropping flares. It was awe inspiring.
With that in mind we were once warned the NKs were massed at the border and to expect 75% causalities. They have extensive bio and chem weapons and the scuds to deliver it.
Kunsan AB ROK, June 88 thru July 89, I've been there and done that.
I've worked "elephant walks" and much, much more interesting real-world incidents.
Know you this, under Reagan, and Bush (both copies), whatever NPRK was capable of,
Kunsan could tripple and keep up the flow for 90 days non-stop.
Nukes are just a C-141 or C-17 ride away.
But under the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT IN CHIEF, who knows what HELL that FACSIST will put them thru.
Thanks for your observations. I’ve always been under the impression that the thousands of artillery tubes in the North which are aimed at Seoul - only 35 miles away - would wreak incredible death and destruction. And, that’s not counting the WMD potential as noted by many others. So, is the SoKor govt willing to accept horrific casualties and devastation of its capitol and major population center? From far away, my impression is that they’re caught it in a huge trap and Lil Kim can really poke and provoke to his heart’s content. All the incredible weaponry that we and the SoKors have would certainly lead to eventual victory in an all-out shooting war. But, is anyone there making the calculation that this truly pyrrhic victory would be worth the incredible cost?
I would be most interested in our Asian Freepers’ take on this incredibly dangerous predicament.
