How and where North Korea would respond to an American attack supposed?!


BAGHDAD (Reuters) -

Recent increase in tension between America and North Korea, pay experts and analysts to draw different scenarios for any possible war between them, and the question of the nature and strength of heavy weapons to be received by Pyongyang.

Sending the United States force a huge naval led by the nuclear aircraft carrier "Carl Vinson" towards the Korean Peninsula waters, a few days hit the Syrian hairs airport missiles winged after, the announcement by President Donald Trump that Washington could "deal with Pyongyang" without the participation of Beijing and approval by strongly opposed to a military solution to the problem of North Korea, all of this has increased the level of tension in the region and the prospects for a real military confrontation between the two countries.

It is not unlikely that Trump thinks to punish the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, without thinking about the dangerous offensive capabilities owned by the North Korean Army, which can draw a serious blow to reply.

Chairman of the Defense and Security Committee of the Russian Federation Council, Viktor Ozerov, does not rule out that the White House dared to launch an attack on North Korea. However, that is an attempt to solve the problem by military means would lead to "further actions that can not be predicted or expected from Pyongyang."

The United States has enormous military capabilities in East Asia, so that it can at any moment that went a crushing blow to North Korea. The basis of American power - is, the Seventh Fleet and a ground and air forces stationed in Japan and South Korea, the total number of (including sailors and marines) more than 70 thousand. Without the transfer of additional forces from the United States, Washington is able to guide massive blows to Pyongyang, sea and air, as well as carry out amphibious operations.

Within a few hours can the United States bombing of North Korea's nuclear bombs by long-range aircraft (B-52) Stratvuortis, Northrop B-2, Rockwell B-1 Lancer. In addition, it may launch a nuclear attack on Korea by ships and submarines.

Pyongyang may not prevail in any possible war against it, even with its southern neighbor, but this does not mean that the communist regime is not able to show stiff resistance or cause irreparable damage to the enemy.

North Korean army and Chinese provider of Soviet technology and patterns of non-exposed private production. However, the weakest link has represented in the air and my arm armor, where there is a very high proportion of old equipment, such as in the North Korean navy.

However, North Korea has succeeded in establishing artillery systems and short-range missiles and medium. According to the Center for Global Firepower gotta northern army 4,300 units of field artillery (as opposed to 5374 when southerners), and 2225 self-propelled guns (against 1990), and 2,400 rocket launchers to fire.

The enormous destructive power of North Korea lies in its missile, as it has hundreds of bombers capable of carrying nuclear warheads, missiles. A North Korean missiles can reach any point in the territory of its southern neighbor and hit enemy ships at sea for a distance of up to 500 miles (up to 900 km).

The first terrible weapons possessed by Pyongyang is "Nodon-1" missiles with ranges of up to 1300 km, and the second is "Hvasong-B", which has a range of 500 kilometers and beyond "Hvasong-5" the extent of up to 300 km, Fourth rocket KN-02 extent Shooting is 70 km, but the problem of these missiles as low precision and have little protection from the air defense or missile defense. Therefore, the United States and South Korea may drop most of the missiles can photograph the North, but some of them are bound to reach the target.

The most vulnerable point in the possible war is the South Korean capital Seoul, which is separated from the border with North Korea only 24 km. This is a city of 10 million people may be destroyed by artillery and rocket launchers of its northern neighbor huge missiles. Therefore, saving the South Korean capital is the task number one in any hypothetical military conflict, however, the risk of mass casualties among the population of Seoul and other South Korean cities will be very great.

He considered the founder of the Center for Military Studies in Russia, Dmitry Kornev, that North Korea is ready to show fierce resistance in the event of an attack against it. "If we talk about the scenario of a large-scale conflict, after an attack by the United States or its allies, the Pyongyang could respond to invade South Korea, and the North is likely to succeed in penetrate their superiority in weapons of mass destruction and the number of soldiers. According to various estimates, the number of North Korean army between 690 thousand and one million and two hundred thousand soldiers and officers. "

According to him, it is not expected to replace North Korea's quick defeat, as the United States will engage the large ground forces in the war, but its entry "will not be just a walk as it was in Afghanistan and Iraq, but will experience great destruction by North Korean forces that can resist about six months, "at least, according to Kornev.
