I remember reading extensively in the 80’s about how NoKo had constructed miles of tunnels where they had cached vast quantities of aged Chinese and Soviet arms; stuff that dated back to the end of WWII. As I recall, North Korea was rumored to have a fine collection of vintage T-55 tanks that were lovingly cared for and started every so often, along with the trucks, artillery pieces and every other piece of hardware that the Regime could get their hands on. Syria under Hafez al Assad, Bashir Assad’s daddy, was armed up in much the same way.
The problem is that the ammo for all of that old weaponry is long past it’s shelf life, and if the DPRK Army ever decided to mount a charge into South Korea, they would probably do well to depend on their bayonets instead of their lousy ammunition.
We need to get as many of them as possible in one place, and then start making runs with Buffs loaded for bear with cluster munitions; maybe get a couple of Air Force tankers to go in low for a fuel dump and a flare drop...
They have 170 mm guns manned by the KPA’s 620 Artillery Corps. This is the forward unit on the DMZ.The unit is equipped with a heavy artillery brigade using 170mm self-propelled artillery, and between five and six artillery brigades armed with 122mm, 130mm, and 152mm self-propelled artillery pieces. Six additional Artillery Brigades are equipped with 122mm and 240mm MRL’s.
Each of those 170 mm guns have an estimated range on 50,000 meters.
