Modern technology in an artillery piece means it is more mobile, more accurate and has a higher rate of fire. More accurate means it can hit within a few dozen meters on repeated fires. While important if you want to hit a tank or a fixed position, it means little if you want to hit a city. 300,000 rounds per hour is going to obliterate any city on earth in less that a day. It is going to take the better part of a week to evacuate any major city, so there are going to be a lot of dead people. Even with WWI technology and no chem. weapons. Do you think the NKs have "modern technology"? I thought they could barely feed their own people and had little access to the outside world. Do you think their arms are well maintained, or 30 year old clunkers. I really have no idea. I just don't recall Saddam doing that much damage to Israel in Gulf War 1 with his Scuds, and wondered if perhaps the NK artillery might be in a similar state. North Korea has an estimated 13,000 artillery sites stationed in secure bunkers, As for "facts" like these, any idea how reliable they are? I mean, I would imagine we know even less about NK's artillery than we did about Saddam's WMDs. Right?
