The original of this article in Korean mentions that a few other N. Korean jet fighters crashed earlier this year, during training (or exercise) as the part of preparation for this launch.

Their aging planes are falling out of sky due to poor maintenance and lack of training, I suspect.

Just imagine what a strong Reagan like President could do to curb these incompetent jerks. Too bad all we’ve had is GW (barely adequate) and zero (no comment needed).

Many thanks. I had speculated on a separation failure in another thread. If they were looking to market this little turd to the Iranians I'm guessing it'll be no sale.

“On the idea of proliferation, would you buy from somebody who had failed three times in a row and never been successful?” said Cartwright.

No. But Huey Chavez might.

What makes North Korea dangerous is the large amount of artillery, troops and armor they possess.

The DMZ is gonna be one hell of a hot place if North Korea ever decides to cross the border in force. They’ll be raining down artillery well ahead of their advance. They’ll have saboteurs and special forces running amok behind South Korean lines. Lots of mayhem and lots of civilian casualties too.

I certainly hope that the Air Force (and the ROK Air Force) can slow the North Korean advance long enough to allow our (and the ROK) troops to get into position.

I find it fascinating that this article appears the same day as the article in which Russia claims Iran is “no threat” to the UNited States — in fact, that article follows this one on the News/Activism Forum of FR...

Why do I question this? Why are we being told that those powers in the Axis of Evil are no longer to be considered a threat? I find that FAR too convenient for the agenda of President Obama.

If NK has sold their technology to Syria, helping them build a Nuke Plant (which Israel took out last year), they ARE a threat. If the NK can launch a missile/Rocket which overflies Japan and certainly CAN reach at least Alaska, and probably the West Coast, they ARE a threat.

AND, if Iran has missiles that can reach Tel-Aviv and Western Europe, then THEY are a threat. If they have the capability to shut down the Strait of Hormuz (and they do w/Russian built Nuke Subs)then they certainly ARE a threat.

This is Obama propaganda to take our eyes off that very REAL problem and convince us to do his bidding here at home, spending Billions diverted from legitimate defense expenses to his Socialist pipe-dreams....

Don’t buy it, or we could find ourselves in a mess in several places around the world far worse than the ones we’re in now.
