Juche Force

184
The North Korean army can not be counted, which makes it even worse

Despite the very weak economy and the almost complete international isolation of the DPRK, its armed forces (KPA - Korean Peoples Army) remain among the strongest in the world. The KPA is built under the slogan “Juche” (“self-reliance”) and “Songun” (“everything for the army”).

During the Cold War, North Korea received military assistance from the USSR and China. By now, it has completely stopped. Pyongyang is not satisfied with Moscow’s low solvency, and Beijing is extremely dissatisfied with its policy. The DPRK's only military partner is Iran, with which there is a constant exchange of technology. At the same time, Pyongyang continues its nuclear missile program and contains huge conventional forces. The country has a developed defense industry capable of producing almost all classes of military equipment: missiles, Tanks, Armored personnel carriers, artillery and MLRS, ships, boats and submarines - both on the basis of foreign projects, as well as their own development. Only airplanes and helicopters were not created in the DPRK, although they can be assembled from foreign components, if any.

Due to the extreme closeness of North Korea, information about its Armed Forces, especially about the number of vehicles, is estimated.

Missile forces include a significant number of ballistic missiles of various ranges. There are up to 16 battalions of Hwasong-7 missiles, they are also Nodon-1 (3 PU in each division, total from 200 to 300 missiles, flight range up to 1300 km), 1 regiment OTR P-17 (28 PU , flight range - 300 km), as well as based on the P-17 OTR "Hwasong-5" (to 180 PU, 300 – 400 missiles, range - 330 km) and "Hwasong-6" (to 100 PU, 300 –– 400 missiles, range - 500 km), to 8 divisions of the KN-02 TR created on the basis of the Russian Toch TR (in 4 PU in each, not less than 100 missiles, 70 km in the distance), in 6 divisions of the old TR " Luna ”and“ Luna-M ”(according to 4 PU, 70 km). MRBRs or even Tephodon series ICBMs are being developed.

The special operations forces of the KPA are at least the fourth largest in the world (after the United States, China, the Russian Federation), and perhaps even the second after the American — up to 90 thousand people. The North Korean MTR is led by the Light Infantry Control Bureau and the General Staff Intelligence Directorate. The CCO includes three components.

Special Forces of the Ground Forces: 9 light infantry brigades, 3 sniper brigades (17th, 60th, 61st), 17 reconnaissance battalions and 8 "regular" battalions. Airborne Forces: 3 "regular" (38, 48, 58th) and 4 sniper (11, 16, 17, 21st) airborne brigades, a parachute battalion. Naval special forces: 2 naval sniper brigades (1 each in the Western and Eastern fleets).

The ground forces, which number almost a million people, are divided into four strategic echelons. The first is located directly on the border with South Korea and consists of infantry and artillery units. If the DPRK starts a war, its task is to break through the South Korean border fortifications. If South Korea and the United States strike the first blow, the task of this echelon is to prevent the enemy troops from moving inland. The first echelon includes four infantry corps and one artillery corps.

1 Infantry Corps: 2, 13, 31, 46-I infantry divisions, four brigades - tank, light infantry, SAU, MLRS. 2: 3, 6, 8-I infantry divisions, 32-I light infantry brigade, two more light infantry brigades, as well as brigade tank, SAU, MRLS, paratrooper. 4-th: 26, 28, 33, 41-I infantry divisions, four brigades - tank, two light infantry, reconnaissance-landing. 5-th: 5, 12, 25, 45-I infantry divisions, 103-I tank tank brigade, 75 and 80-I light infantry brigade, brigade of SAU, RSZ brigade, paratrooper brigade. The 620 artillery corps comprises seven ACS brigades and six MLRS brigades.

The second echelon is located directly behind the first and consists of the most powerful tank and mechanized formations of the KPA ground forces. If the DPRK starts a war, its task is to develop an offensive in depth of the South Korean defense (including the seizure of Seoul) after its breakthrough by the forces of the first echelon. If South Korea and the United States begin the war, the second echelon of the KPA must eliminate possible enemy breakthroughs through the location of the first. The second echelon includes a tank and two mechanized corps. 806-th MK: 4, 7, 47-I and two more mechanized brigades, light infantry brigade, brigade of ACS. 815-th MK: 26-I and four more mechanized brigades, light infantry brigade, brigade of ACS. 820 Tk: 105-I armored division, three armored brigades, 15-I mechanized brigade, SAU brigade, MLRS brigade.

The third echelon provides defense of Pyongyang, is a reserve and training base for the first two echelons. Includes five infantry and one artillery corps. 3-th PC: five infantry divisions (including two training and reserve), tank and artillery brigades. 6-th PC: three infantry divisions (including two training and reserve), an artillery brigade. 7-th PC: 10 and 20-I infantry divisions, four training and reserve divisions, 87-I light infantry brigade, artillery brigade. 12-th PC: motorized infantry and infantry divisions, tank and artillery brigades. 91-th PC defense of the capital: four motorized infantry brigade, MLRS brigade. Candong Artillery Corps - six artillery and MLRS brigades.

The fourth echelon is located along the border of the DPRK with the PRC and the Russian Federation. It is, like the third, educational reserve, as well as the "echelon of the last hope." Includes two mechanized and four infantry corps. 108 and 425-y MK have the same structure - five mechanized brigades, light infantry brigade, brigade ACS. 10 and 11-th PC include one infantry and one training and reserve division, MLRS brigade. 8-th PC: three infantry divisions (including one training and reserve), tank and artillery brigades.

Juche Force9-th PC: 24 and 42-I infantry divisions, training and reserve infantry division, MLRS brigade. It is this building that has a border with the Russian Federation in its area of ​​responsibility. The ground forces also include 4 border and 22 engineering brigades.

The KPA tank fleet includes up to 4 thousands of main and at least 250 light tanks. The oldest are the Soviet T-54 and T-55 (for 1000 of those and others) and their Chinese copies of the Tour 59 (175). There are 500 Soviet T-62. On their basis in the DPRK a family of Chonma tanks was created (at least 470 units). The most modern North Korean tank - "Songun-915", known in the West and in Russia under the name "Pokpun-ho." It is also based on T-62, but using more advanced T-72 and T-80 technologies. Carries 125-mm cannon, 14,5-mm KPVT machine gun, paired with the Balso-3 anti-tank missile system (a copy of the Soviet Kornet anti-tank missile system) and the Hwa Son Chon anti-aircraft missile system (a copy of the Needle-1). Not a single tank in the world has such a set of weapons. 200 – 400 units “Songun-915” have been released so far. Light tanks: 100 Soviet PT-76, 50 Chinese 62 Tour, no less than 100 own Xinhen PT-85 (amphibious tank with 85-mm cannon).

There are 222 Soviet BMP-1, as well as more 1500 BTR. The oldest are the BTR-40 and the BTR-152 (around 600 in total). Slightly newer are the Soviet BTR-60 (250 units), BTR-50 (50) and their own "Type-73", created on the basis of the Chinese Tour 531 and better known under the name VTT-323 (at least 500). The most modern 32 of Russian BTR-80 and up to 100 created on their basis in the DPRK BTR "Tip-69".

KPA artillery includes numerous towed Soviet, Chinese and own-made guns. These are 500 A-19 and M-30, 300 D-74, 188 D-30, 50 Tour 59-1, 160 M-46 and up to 1000 similar own-produced guns, 200 D-20 and XNXX XMNXX and 100 X-NUMX X-NUMX and 20 D-59 and 60 1973 and 1983 A significant part of these guns has been converted into self-propelled guns by installing it on a tracked carrier ATS-60. There are at least 3000 ACS M-7500 and M-1976 "Juche-po" with a range of up to 82 kilometers. Thus, the total number of ACS and towed guns exceeds 1978. Mortars (up to 120) are mainly produced in-house: M-1982 (140 mm), M-1000 (120 mm), M-43 (5000 mm). 3774 Soviet 63-mm M-500 mortars are also available. The number of MLRS exceeds 21. This is at least 11 Chinese towed Tour 1973, produced under license in North Korea, 1990 Soviet BM-100, its own BM-63, M-50, M-14, 100 Chinese Tour 14, 200 Soviet towed RPU-1968 and 20 BM-200 200 own M-500 and Soviet BMD-24 (1984 mm), from 1990 to 240 Soviet BM-XNUMX, own M-XNUMX and M-XNUMX (XNUMX mm).

Anti-tank weapons: ATGM "Baby", "Competition", to 1100 ATGM "Fagot", as well as at least a thousand self-propelled anti-tank weapons M-1974 (100 mm).

In the number of almost all classes of equipment, KPA ground forces occupy at least the fourth place in the world. Such an enormous amount largely compensates for its archaic nature. This applies particularly to artillery, the KPA trunks are in second place in the world after the PLA. The North Korean artillery is capable of creating a real sea of ​​fire in the frontal zone, it is impossible to physically suppress such a number of guns.

The DPRK Air Force organizationally consists of 6 air divisions and 3 anti-aircraft missile brigades. 1st Hell: 24th bomber up (equipped with old Chinese N-5 bomber based on IL-28), 35th fighter ap (Chinese J-6 fighters, copies of MiG-19), 55th assault up (the most modern attack aircraft are Su-25 attack aircraft), the 57th fighter ap (the most modern - MiG-29), the 60th fighter ap (MiG-23ML / UB and MiG-21PFM fighters), two transport ap (An- 2 and their Chinese counterparts Y-5), a helicopter regiment. 2nd hell: bomber up (N-5), 46th IAP (J-6, MiG-21), 56th IAP (MiG-21PFM / bis), 58th IAP (MiG-23ML / UB) , 72nd IAP (MiG-21, J-7), as well as three more IAPs, transport ap (An-2 / Y-5), helicopter regiment. 3rd hell: 4th and 11th IAP (armed with the oldest J-5 fighter, Chinese copy of the MiG-17), 86th IAP (J-6, MiG-21), 303rd IAP (J-6) Helicopter Regiment. The 5th transport hell includes five regiments. The 6th transport hell includes Air Koryo airline, which includes passenger planes carrying top officials of the DPRK and KPA, as well as seven helicopter regiments, including the only Mi-24 attack helicopter regiment and the 64th MD-American helicopter regiment 500 acquired in the 80s through intermediaries. 8th study hell includes aviation an academy and four regiments of training aircraft. Anti-aircraft missile brigades: 3, 66, 116th.

Shock aircraft Air KNA comprises up 86 extremely outdated Chinese bomber H-5, from 18 to 27 Su-7, 34-35 relatively new Su-25 (including 4 UBC) and to 40 intermediate age Chinese attack planes Q-5 . Fighters: up 107 extremely outdated Chinese J-5 and Soviet MIG-17, to 109 J-6 and MiG-19, to 232 MIG-21 and J-7, to 56 MIG-23, 16-35 MIG-29 (in including up to 6 combat training MiG-29UB). There is an 2 EW aircraft based on An-24 (another one, possibly in storage). Transport aviation in the classic sense of the DPRK is not. Air Koryo includes 3 IL-76, 4 IL-62, 5 An-24, 14 IL-14, 2 – 3 IL-18, 2 Tu-134, 3 Tu-154 (1, 204 Tu-300, 2 Tu-5 (35, 15 Tu-15, 2 Tu-49), 6, 97 Tu-5, 18 Tu-135 (5, 5 Tu-17, 20 Tu-47) Two Tu-24 designed to carry the manual and some of the most important goods. Prior to 68, An-8 and Y-17 are used by the SSO to transfer special forces. Training aircraft: up to 4 MiG-26bis, MiG-108UTI and JJ-2, up to 23 CJ-5, up to 4 CJ-4 and Yak-1, up to 5 JJ-8 (J-14 training option (J-87), (J-500, X-NNXX) (up to XNUMX JJ-XNUMX (training version J-XNUMX) Attack helicopters: XNUMX – XNUMX Mi-XNUMXD. Multipurpose helicopters: up to XNUMX Mi-XNUMXT and Mi-XNUMX, XNUMX Mi-XNUMX, up to XNUMX Mi-XNUMX, up to XNUMX Z-XNUMX (Chinese copy of Mi-XNUMX) and Mi-XNUMX (still XNUMX in storage), XNUMX – XNUMX (XNUMX-XNUMX) and Mi-XNUMX (still XNUMX in storage), XNUMX – XNUMX (XNUMX) and Mi-XNUMX (still XNUMX in storage), XNUMX – XNUMX (XNUMX in Chinese storage), XNUMX (still XNUMX stored), XNUMX – XNUMX (XNUMX in storage), XNUMX – XNUMX (Chinese copy of Mi-XNUMX) and Mi-XNUMX (still XNUMX stored), XNUMX – XNUMX (XNUMX) amphibians Mi-XNUMX, up to XNUMX MD-XNUMX.

All ground air defense included in the Air Force. It includes the 2 Regiment (6 divisions) C-200 XR (36 PU), 41 C-75 (246 PU) division, X-NUMX C-32 (125 PU) division, no less than the KN-XNNX X-NX division of the X-NNXX division of the X-NNXX of the S-128 (06 PU), no less than the 8 of the X-NXX PU-06 (300 PU), the no. PU). KN-9 is a local version of the Soviet C-6000PT / PS, or the Chinese HQ-4500. In service with 2 MANPADS (5 "Strela-1500" and their Chinese copies HN-1, 16 "Needle-250" and their local counterparts NT-57РGJ), several thousand ZSU and anti-aircraft guns, including up to 2 ZSU-XNUM -148, 23 ZSU-4-1500, 23 ZU-1000, 61 400-K, 12 KS-524, 19 KS-XNUMX.

Almost all the equipment of the KPA Air Force and Air Defense is extremely outdated, even the Su-25, MiG-29 and KN-06 can be considered new only relatively. To a certain extent, this is compensated by the quantity, but in this case this factor has a much smaller value than for the ground forces. However, the actions of aviation of any enemy of the DPRK at low altitudes will be extremely complicated by the mountainous terrain and a huge number of MANPADS and anti-aircraft guns in the North Korean air defense. Old aircraft may well be used as kamikazes, including those with nuclear weapons.

The Navy is divided into the Western Fleet (includes 5 naval areas, 6 squadron) and Eastern (7 BMP, 10 squadron). For geopolitical reasons, the exchange of ships between fleets is impossible even in peacetime, so each fleet relies on its shipbuilding base.

By the number of combat units, the DPRK Navy may be the largest in the world, but almost all ships are extremely primitive. In particular, they do not have an air defense system at all. However, for actions in the coastal waters of the North Korean Navy have very significant potential. Their strongest side is a large number of small submarines capable of planting special forces groups on the enemy’s coast as well as operating against enemy ships in shallow water. In regular border clashes between North Korean and South Korean combat boats, advantage, as a rule, is on the side of the former.

The basis of the submarine fleet is 22 of old submarines of the project 633 / 033 (Soviet, Chinese and own construction). Perhaps preserved to 4 completely old Soviet submarines of the project 613. There are 30 – 40 small submarines Sang-O (built on their own project), 23 ultra-small submarines “South” Yugoslav development (10 in reserve) and up to 10 “Yono” (Iranian “Gadir”).

At least 2 escort ships (frigates) of the Nadzhin type, 1 catamaran Soho (possibly decommissioned), up to 30 corvettes (including the newest Nampo 2 type 3) are armed. Rocket boats: up to 8 of old Soviet projects 205, 4 of their Chinese counterparts of the 021 project, up to 10 of their local counterparts of the Soju type, up to 6 of very old Soviet projects of the 183Р °, up to 6 of their local counterparts of the Sohung type, up to 6 of the latest proprietary types Nongo (with local counterparts of the Russian Ukr X-35 RCC).

The DPRK naval forces are practically the only fleet in the world that continues to operate torpedo boats on a large scale (mostly of its own projects). It’s up to 100 “Sing Hong” on a hydrofoil, 42 of “Kuson” type, up to 3 Soviet 206М project, up to 13 Soviet 183 project. Patrol boats: 54 of Chongjin type, 18 – 33 of Sinpo type, Chakho type of 59, Jongzhu type of XonMX, 6 Chinese Shanghai-13 type of 23, 062 Soviet Soviet project. Minesweepers: 2 type "Yukto-19", 201 type "Yukto-19", to 1 boats of the type "Pipa-go."

Landing ships and boats are focused on carrying out operations only within the Korean Peninsula itself, so they are small, but there are a lot of them. These are 10 TDK of “Hanto” type, 18 TDK of “Hunnam” type, 15 TDK of “Hanchon” type, 51 landing craft of “Chongjin” type, 96 DK “Nampo”, 140 DK on airbag of “Konban” type.

Coastal defense covers the entire coast of the DPRK. It includes 6 brigades (11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21). Includes a significant number of Chinese SCRK HY-1 and HY-2, the Soviet SCRC "Sopka", tools CM-4-1, M-1992, M-46, ML-20.

In general, the noticeable technical backwardness of the KPA is largely compensated for by the huge amount of weapons, equipment and personnel, a good level of combat training and fanaticism of military personnel. In addition, the KPA is very well adapted to operations in mountainous conditions. This makes it a dangerous opponent even for the three strongest armies in the world (American, Chinese, Russian) and completely invincible for all the rest.

    In addition to "Juche" and "Songun", the leadership of the DPRK (the same grandson) is probably guided by the third principle - the transition of a huge amount into some kind of quality.
    The article could do without the last phrase: This makes her (i.e. KPA) a dangerous adversary even for the three strongest armies in the world (American, Chinese, Russian) and completely invincible for everyone else.. Neither we nor the Chinese are going to fight the DPRK, and indeed the main enemy for the KPA is the South Korean armed forces

        Motivation of North Korean soldiers to defend Grandchild's regime is ambiguous

        in the 50s, the Koreans fought with the Ocupantam as a free people, now the status seems to have changed. This fact is badly has a huge impact on combat effectiveness.

          In fact, he won the war against his southern counterparts. And then the KPA was not preparing to fight against amers. Therefore, the help of older brothers was required. And Kim's calculation was correct, he got it. Unfortunately, the Juche is a double-edged weapon. If asked for help earlier, Korea could remain united and communist.

      "... Despite the very weak economy and almost complete international isolation of the DPRK, its armed forces (KPA - Korean People's Army) remain one of the strongest in the world ..."

      It’s illogical. A strong army cannot exist without a developed economy. So the information on the economic potential of North Korea is completely closed.
      The army, which occupies the fourth place in the world ranking, is an army equipped with all types of modern type of weapons and possessing the highest fighting spirit!

        It’s illogical. A strong army cannot exist without a developed economy. So the information on the economic potential of North Korea is completely closed.

        - I am very hesitant about the weak economy of the DPRK. After all, it is assessed by the methods of market economies, but in the DPRK it is not a market economy, therefore, these methods are not suitable for assessing the DPRK economy. For example, there is an estimate of 2 the company's capitalization "- well, there is no such concept when evaluating a North Korean enterprise, the operating principle there is completely different. Hence such a distortion - like, the DPRK economy is only 0.1% of the South Korean economy. But this is nonsense. Pyongyang is exactly like that. the same skyscrapers, as in Seoul - and building a skyscraper is not two toes on the asphalt You need a developed industry for the production of building materials, the presence of a powerful body of highly qualified engineers of various profiles - from constructors of building structures to heating and plumbers and others.
        And the own production of weapons, even if outdated, is also not two fingers on the asphalt, the machine-building industry and a powerful corps of engineers are also needed. DPRK missiles are able to produce, it seems to many. that a rocket is just a pipe with fuel, the fuel is set on fire, and the pipe flies from the resulting thrust. Let them think further wassat I am not saying that the DPRK has a powerful economy, I just say that it is incorrectly estimated and that it makes up 0,1% of South Korea’s GDP - bullshit. In terms of the power of this economy, it’s enough to maintain such a powerful army, you don’t need to believe any nonsense here. Therefore, to evaluate the economy of the DPRK, other, more objective criteria are needed. I think that they will pull a full 25 percent of the South Korean economy, and this, taking into account the fact that the South Korean economy is quite large, is quite a lot.
        As for low solvency - well, Duc in their currency they are quite solvent, and they have a lot of dollars, because for 40 years, if not more, they have been under sanctions, it’s impossible for them to get dollars, since there is only one "brother in trouble" in partners Iran? Be that as it may, the DPRK will begin reforms sooner or later, but it will approach reforms not at all empty-handed, not in an "African" state. She will have a literate population on her hands (I cannot imagine real socialism without a powerful universal education, and they still have socialism) and with quite acceptable industry. The lifting of the sanctions could entail the transfer of new technologies to the DPRK - and hello, new Asian tiger. Although this is unlikely to happen - the hegemon is not in the mood to breed tigers, but is only concerned about the territories of chaos, especially the chaos in the place of the DPRK - it is so convenient, it hits both the PRC and Russia, and Japan and South Korea will be a little cold, otherwise instrument slightly wassat

          If in Russia we collect all the thieves, confiscate everything stolen (and from their relatives too) and send them to the Arctic with hacksaws to build an "igloo" out of snow - to help our border guards, then our economy was at a very high level and there would be enough money for everything! And to lead these brigades send the Great Party - "United Russia"!

      Of course, we all understand perfectly well that the DPRK is not an enemy of China or Russia. But Khramchikhin is always such an "anti-Chinese" "anti-Democratic People's Republic of Korea" and of course pro-Western - and he could not help but "throw in" - to give someone else the idea that North Korea might be an enemy

      Secondly, these are Khramchikhin's personal "fabrications" - allegedly Pektn is dissatisfied with the DPRK and Moscow is not satisfied with low solvency. In fact, the question is not at all - without China there would be no North Korea at all. And the DPRK has always been and will be the geopolitical foothold of China and Russia against the states and Japan. And if tomorrow it becomes necessary, they will supply all the weapons they need.

          My opinion on electronics? Yes please. In the event of a collision of technologically equal rivals such as Russia and the United States, the hostilities will still slide to the level of "a pedal horse without electronics on the battlefield rules!", Because opponents quickly increase each other with the help of sophisticated electronic warfare and electromagnetic weapons to hell with all the electronic stuffing. They will take the good old machine guns in their hands, rip out useless boards from tanks, install the old-fashioned devices on them and go ahead, continue to kill the enemy. And I already guess who will win in this situation, who is not very accustomed to electronics and not very much hopes for it in life. And why put electronics then? And against third countries, but against such as this DPRK. Is it uncomfortable fighting in Syria? With the help of sophisticated computerized sights of the AKP, when bombs fly right on target from a height inaccessible to MANPADS opponents - it's quite convenient, isn't it? The States cannot be bombed like that, the enemy is not the same. And here - the losses are minimal, the effect is maximal, why not use electronics? Here's the answer to your post. But at the same time, it must be remembered that electronics are VULNERABLE against electronic warfare and against electromagnetic weapons, these are generally very delicate products that can be disabled by a technologically advanced enemy - two fingers on asphalt.

                    The trouble is that the same amount of sweat and blood, with different socio-economic formations, is converted into completely different material wealth. And under non-socialism, for some reason there are significantly more of them (i.e., benefits). And not to a small extent due to the fact that the surplus value appropriated by the capitalist is spent much more rationally than the monopoly appropriated by the state. It is not just that they will not give resources to distill the resources from the capitalists into chips, but will limit them. Skepticism, based on the experience of life in the Russian Federation after the collapse of the empire, regarding capitalism, is understandable. But. Capitalism in the Russian Federation was never built. A certain conglomerate of the feudal tribal system, with elements of usurious and rent-like relations. So in S. Korea, they stigmatize North American imperialism, not knowing what it is. Of the two evils - Maoism vs capitalism, they chose the greater.

Well, did you get what you wanted in '91? Today, in jeans and sneakers, the last scourge doesn’t even go, you can wash the Coca-Cola plumbing. The shops are littered with ersatz grub. Only some money is enough for everyone. It turns out that there is still medicine and education and a communal apartment need to be paid. Yes, and high-quality food, not from chemistry. Once in the USSR, it was almost all free, but they exchanged it all for rags. And again: 0255 is this your IQ?

It is foolish to oppose Kim’s army to the US-South Korean tandem. North Koreans are guaranteed to be gouged. I can’t believe that someone will go to war there. The Americans do not need this, because thanks to the stupid Kim, they have an excuse to keep a strong group there. The South Koreans also have nothing to put at risk Seoul.

        The overseas news portal military.com regularly talks about sniper dueling in Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq. At the same time, high firing accuracy on the part of the militants is noted. In particular, the incident in the Afghan province of Helmand, where the British military engineer Darren Foster was shot, received great public response. He was at a guard post equipped with thick bulletproof glass, there was only one small gap - a loophole for return fire. It was through her that a killer’s bullet flew in. According to reports, the shot was fired from a long distance. In addition to the Briton, two marines were also killed and two more were seriously injured.

        Former US "Afghan", Marine Sergeant Carlos Brown, made an interesting assumption. Sofa strategists believe that in the future war combat robots, heavy drones, precision missiles, Raptor class fighters and super tanks will win, ”says Carlos Brown. - So it will be at the first stage when it is necessary to shift the government, which is inconvenient for America. But then, enemy sniper fans firing for a mile and a half will put an end to the dominance of the expeditionary forces.

        DPRK barrel artillery
        And the southerners will calmly observe how they are being hit? What can the destruction of a big city give in purely military terms ...? Well, if they start to strike, the city can undergo significant destruction (but not critical, because for this you need to methodically beat large caliber and not in areas). The South Koreans begin to leave for bomb shelters, and at this time the Southerners and Americans begin to hit the detected targets, previously designated and airfields, and aviation rises into the air. Who will be the supremacy in the air and at sea? the borders and 22 km to the capital are unusually saturated with means of defense. In fact, this is one continuous SD about which the steel avalanche of Kim's not modernized army will break off its teeth (in parallel, it will have to repulse a couple of sharp counter-attacks and dispatch significant forces to defend the coast, since the southerners and the Americans are not fools and will not passively give up the initiative to the enemy.) Even on the approach to the border, their deployment will be greatly hampered by the dominance of the southerners in the air or For example, the sudden mining of the attack range and a bunch of other unpleasant surprises. Even if Kim takes Seoul, this will not decide the outcome of the war, but will decide the outcome of the war only by capturing the entire territory of the South Caucasus and retaining control over it. I believe that the North and South are in a stalemate in terms of combat opportunities, if the equipment of the southerners is opposed by the large number of northerners (and nevertheless the northerners are weaker). And their spirit and the idea of ​​Jucheism ... it's still to be seen. The southerners, too, are still "animals" --- they will definitely not raise their legs to the top. The policies of the South Caucasus and the DPRK are very dependent on Washington and Beijing, and these giants do not intend to go into insane hand-to-hand combat.

Previously, Khramchikhin prepared the material with a better quality, but in his last publications, he wrote a lot of blunders. The author does not consider it necessary to use relevant reference material, as a result, the article is solid jambs. For example:
    The KPA tank fleet has up to 4 thousands of main and at least 250 light tanks. The oldest are the Soviet T-54 and T-55
    The oldest are the T-34-85 still in operation.
    1 regiment OTR R-17 (28 launchers, flight range - 300 km), as well as those created on the basis of the R-17 OTR "Hwasong-5"
    PTRK 9K72 The Elbrus with the R-17 missile was never delivered to the DPRK. No. OTRK Hwasong-5 is an unlicensed copy of the 9K72 Elbrus. In the DPRK, several OTRK 9K72 "Elbrus" illegally came from Egypt in the early 80's.
    from 18 to 27 attack aircraft Su-7
    Su-7B fighter-bombers were written off to the DPRK more than 10 years ago.
    It consists of the 2 regiment (6 divisions) S-200 air defense systems, 36 S-41 air defense division, 75 S-246 air defense missile systems (32 PU), and at least KN-XNXX air defense air defense division (KN-XN PU). KN-125 is a local version of the Soviet S-128PT / PS or the Chinese HQ-06.

This rubbish was impossible to read by a person with even a little understanding of the topic. Nevertheless, the books were in great demand. The fashion was such. Today, the fashion for forecast and expert opinion in the fields of politics and the army. This does not bring a bad income to the authors.

In my opinion, all the power there is only in parades, and the rest of the soldiers, as in the late Soviet era, are a free slave. power. In the event of an armed conflict, this army will not last long, again due to resources. Well, they do not bend to the west, so what? If you adequately assess North Korea, if it exists as a scarecrow in the Far East, then someone needs this. In order to apologize to show off, you need to be strong, at least like Russia.

    In general, the noticeable technical backwardness of the KPA is largely compensated for by the huge amount of weapons, equipment and personnel, a good level of combat training and fanaticism of military personnel. In addition, the KPA is very well adapted to operations in mountainous conditions. This makes it a dangerous opponent even for the three strongest armies in the world (American, Chinese, Russian) and completely invincible for all the rest.
    As for "invincible" - this is a clear overkill. They were invincible when the military and economic might of the USSR stood behind them, and their Chinese comrades fought shoulder to shoulder. But it is a fact that in the climate and terrain of the Korean Peninsula, many of the advantages of modern weapons are leveled. Tank wedges and point ammunition are unlikely to roll there.

    With all the shortcomings: a small territory, a lack of literally everything. North Korea demonstrates the ability not only to survive in the most difficult conditions of the blockade, but what is most important and instructive for us, is strength ideas juche. Exactly ideology rallies the North Korean people and makes it possible to significantly compensate for material shortcomings. Reliance on your own spiritual forces made North Korea the tenth space power, with nuclear energy and weapons, which inevitably implies the existence of an appropriate level of science and education, and again, clear state planning and goal setting not possible without ideology! That is, everything that was in the USSR and not in Russia.
    Article 13 of "our" Constitution sentenced Russia to ideological diversity, more precisely to political disgrace. And it is not for us to criticize the army and the country, welded together by a single idea, for backwardness - a speck in the eye, when we ourselves have a beam that is long overdue to take out, changing a number of articles of "our" Constitution. It's time to discard the ideological crutches slipped into us by the trap and rely on our own spiritual forces cast into the state ideology of Russia!

Moscow will forgive Pyongyang about 90% of North Korean debt of $ 11 billion for loans issued by the former USSR. The remaining debt in the amount of $ 1 billion will be used under the “debt for help” scheme in the field of education, healthcare and energy in the implementation of joint projects in the DPRK

    This reminds me of the argument, who is stronger, a fighter with a knife, or a tank? The answer is not obvious. The tank is in the forest, and the fighter is a real fighter. And a tank cannot escape from such a fighter if he leaps onto the tower and blocks the viewing slots with the material at hand. And spin until the fuel runs out ... North Koreans are serious fighters, and motivated to the limit. Recently I watched the World Weightlifting Championship. There their girl got a leg injury and won silver with an injury! She could not walk - but "on her teeth" came out over and over again. The pain is hellish, but she comes out on her own, the coach did not drive her. If there are even half of the fighters like that, in their mountains any army will be washed in blood. And mind you - they have whole sniper brigades! This is the nightmare of any American general. A sniper squad can stop a battalion attack - without any machine guns. And there are whole brigades, and not just one!

      I remember that about 15 years ago, they printed a story (almost A. Prokhanov) about the translators he got in North Korea. The trip was agreed a month in advance. After arriving, a boy and a girl were attached to him. They chirped quite briskly in Russian, although the vocabulary corresponded to the beginning of the twentieth century. In short, they were summoned to the local Komsomol organization, given out textbooks of the Russian language, published by St. Petersburg in 1899, and told to learn it in three weeks. By heart. Then an old woman from the White Guard emigration talked to them for another five days. The translator is ready. Attempts to talk children about the consequences of a possible failure were unsuccessful. I wonder if remote Juche followers are ready for such experiments on their children / grandchildren? And about the adults - like the oprichnik. Throw now the cry of comrade Zyuganov - you need to win the next CASP, you only need a head, a PC, and the Internet. And the reward is a million in dollars (real by the way, and not even one). In the name of the all-conquering doctrine. Well, do you think we will win? Nor are the North Koreans. This is to the question of "hellish pain", and the fact that the guardsmen are good on the towers, and nothing more.

    It is clear that in relation to the small and expensive equipment of the 5th generation, the DPRK's amia looks archaic. However, all these comments above about her "impotence" and insignificance - seem to me stupid, because there are examples in the world before my eyes - the same Afghanistan. For 30 YEARS they have been fighting there without precision weapons with a completely destroyed industrial base. The USSR has retired rather ingloriously, the supermodern USA has been stuck for decades - i.e. also by ... It is clear that there is politics \ heroin \ money \ weapons, but still imagine at least for a minute that suddenly tomorrow the Afghans-mujahideen would get their hands on all these thousands of Korean barrels and hundreds of anti-aircraft missiles, etc. according to the list, and even debugged production with qualifications. technical personnel, Yes, and NUCLEAR WEAPONS !!! + a similar mountain landscape of the DPRK with its specifics of a grueling "eternal" guerrilla war ... + the motivation of mobilized professional Koreans - after all, indeed, then, as at the beginning of the comments they wrote, "whoever walks, will wash blood "!!!. Isn't this a vivid real operating example that even a small smoldering local conflict can seriously undermine the forces of even a superpower, and a couple of three is already an unbearable burden ?!

    The main problem of the KPA in particular and the DPRK in general is complete defenselessness from air strikes. The DPRK, by definition, even if it is capitalist, does not have sufficient resources to fight amers in the sky. Neither aviation nor air defense systems. Therefore, spending very limited resources on an aerial race that cannot be won would be foolish. But at the same time, this is a huge problem, as the campaigns in Iraq and Libya have shown. What does the worst thing to do with this is the shackling of maneuverability of troops.
    As a result, the DPRK solved this problem as follows. Given the short front, the extremely rugged terrain and the doom to fight in the pre-war grouping (with the possible exception of the Special Forces), it is necessary to have enough troops to be able to counterstrike in any possible direction of the breakthrough "shortly", without maneuvering. Hence the huge amount of military equipment. And, accordingly, its low manufacturability.
    And it is very strange to read that the DPRK wants to attack someone there. Is it really not clear that as soon as the KPA makes a breakthrough of the front and enters operational space, its maneuverability will be constrained by enemy aircraft, and its ground forces will be able to regroup and launch counter-attacks at that moment and in that group of forces that will be most advantageous to him. What kind of attack can we talk about here?

    The North Korean is very behind in armament. But the mountainous terrain and nuclear weapons compensate for this. For example, it is possible to suppress the DPRK air defense, but it is not known where the nuclear weapons are. True, this is only enough for defense, but enough to contain.
    But there will be no war. After all, nobody will "liberate" the DPRK, if only for economic reasons. After all, if the ROK and the US win, the ROK will get 24 million people, and this threatens the Southerners with an economic catastrophe.
