North Korea (DPRK): "They therefore plan to win by striking quickly, by surprise, while South

Korea (ROK) are still mobilizing, US reinforcements are not yet in theatre,..."

Snipped:

"DPRK planners recognize their inferiority in technology and, after ROK mobilization, even in numbers. They understand that ROK/US forces will have air superiority initially, and (unless China intervenes) air supremacy within days. They therefore plan to win by striking quickly, by surprise, while ROK forces are still mobilizing, US reinforcements are not yet in theatre, and while our airpower is largely committed to overcoming the DPRK integrated air defense system and targeting WMD storage sites, launchers, and command, control, and communications (C3) networks."

This article is comprehensive and informative, IMO.


In my research on North Korea, I am learning just how little we know about North Korea. It is, after all, the Hermit country.
