<<<Kim Il Sung may be crazy but he's not stupid. With one end of the axis down, his many heroic statues look a little shaky. His South Korean counterpart, Roh Moo Hyun, whose own attitude toward the U.S. has undergone an after-Saddam epiphany, says that Kim was "petrified" by the speedy U.S. victory.>>>
No doubt about that. Using a nuke is still impractical.
That leaves N Korea with a 6 mm man army, and he just saw in Iraq a few hundred US tanks running around wherever they pleased, decimating entire Armies, Divisions, Battalions of Saddams best. Invulnerable to small arms or AK 47 fire , even rocket propelled grenades and suicide bombers had minor effect.
Entrenched artillery is completely vulnerable from the sky, which we own despite Iraqs many anti-aircraft missiles, radars, and guns
I have worked in the aircraft industry and I have not been able to figure how we overcame the Iraqi anti-aircraft capabilities so fast. But it was concerted effort of detection, location(GPS) , sensing, jamming, laser, radar, armoured airplanes, perhaps using E-bombs, finally all coming together in Cen Com on display screens.
That is our "System", vastly improved over Gulf War 1, and despite only three weeks of work recently much has been learned to improve things. No other Nation can come close to those capabilities
In Summary :
The capability and effectiveness of Kim 11 Sungs 6 mm man army must now be reduced by a factor of 100
- and is no more dangerous than an army of 60,000 unless some nation is stupid enough to conduct a historical man- to-man ground war. He will go broke feeding them.
