A double feature would likely make war inevitable.

More info on the subs from Yonhap:

quote:

North Korea has two types of air-cushioned boats. One of them is the 35-ton class Gongbang II that can travel at a speed between 74-96 kmph, and the other is the 20-ton class Gongbang III that can travel up to 96 kmph.

With the mission to transport special infiltration forces ashore, the air-cushioned vehicle is one of North Korea's three core infiltration assets.

The North has also deployed the other two infiltration forces -- submarines and special artillery troops -- near the border as the country followed the quasi-war declaration up with a tougher combat readiness posture.

They've got about 130 of these. LINK


Those would have been impressive before we had drones that can fly at all hours and blow those up way before they get close to South Korea

Don't give the little fat man crap. Keep beefing forces up and he will back down and go back home. Heck buzz his house with a 52 if you need to.

also from Yonhap:
quote:

North Korea lashed out at South Korea Monday, blaming it for high tensions on the Korean Peninsula as marathon talks aimed at defusing the situation continued for a third day.

The Rodong Sinmun, the official newspaper of the North's ruling Workers' Party, claimed in an editorial that the South drove the political situation on the peninsula to dangerous levels under a deliberate plan with the U.S. to invade the communist country, according to the North's Korean Central News Agency.

In a separate editorial also carried by the same paper, the North insisted that the South fabricated this month's landmine explosion and artillery exchange to prepare for war with the North.

"The editorial said that the puppets' confrontational mental illness has completely reached the late stage," said the KCNA dispatch, citing the fact that South Korea has placed all government offices under emergency alert mode and banned military personnel from leaving their premises.

North Korea refers to the South as "puppets" of the U.S.

As of Monday morning, top negotiators from the two sides continued to hold marathon talks at the truce village of Panmunjom inside the Demilitarized Zone dividing the Koreas.

The talks began Saturday evening after tensions soared following a landmine explosion earlier this month blamed on the North and an exchange of artillery across the heavily fortified border.
