North Korean Special Forces Spotted Across DMZ Sporting New Camo Gear

DMZ infiltration units...?

Backwards and broke, Pyongyang long-ago abandoned any idea of winning a conventional war with the South and their American allies... that is, ever since they saw US forces cut Saddam's armor into tinsel with shock-n-awe back in 2003.

So to remain a credible threat, the Norks rely on a three-pronged strategy of heavy artillery at the DMZ to pound Seoul into smithereens along with missiles that can menace the rest of the ROK... this while building the world's largest special forces, fiercely-loyal and highly-trained in asymmetrical warfare and infiltration strategies including Islamic-terrorist-inspired car bombs, roadside explosives, etc. 

The ambitious plans of the DPRK's Special Operations Force include myriad psy-ops, infiltration tunnels under the DMZ, up to 7000 commandos landing aboard midget subs and hovercraft on both southern coasts, others bypassing the DMZ in radar-evading low-tech wood-packed biplanes, troops simply walking over the border in South Korean uniforms, even Nork agents flying-in dressed as businessmen aboard Chinese commercial flights... all to wreak havoc and terror behind the lines of US and SK troops as they create a second front in the event of full-scale conflict [think "suitcase nuke" and you'll get an idea of the potential of the threat posed].

The DPRK has stationed 50,000 of these troublesome forces right at the DMZ, a number equal to all US special forces combined. Total North Korean special forces are now estimated at 200,000+...over double what they had just three years ago.

Unsettlingly it is then that today SK border surveillance is finding North Korean special forces troops in new camouflage gear apparently preparing for DMZ intrusion drills. Coming on top of recent escalations in the 60-year-old Korean War that has never officially ended, this offers reason for concern... although Seoul won't be standing idly by while Dear Leader plans their demise. 

The vile Stalinist regime in North Korea has always held an affection for special forces/asymmetrical warfare strategies, given that "Great Leader" Kim Il Sung fought as a guerrilla vs the Imperial Japanese in occupied WWII Korea and DPRK propaganda is steeped in the narrative.

The most famous incident involving such elite Korean People's Army troops would be the 1968 infiltration that had 31 North Korean commandos of the KPA's secret special forces Unit 124 on an assassination mission- one only halted mere meters from the South Korean President's "Blue House" residence near Seoul. Most of the Norks were killed in the ensuing gun battle with SK security personnel, but the group's leader was actually captured alive. 

And one of them did escape alive and return to North Korea, highly decorated and rewarded in spite of the mission's failure: Park Jae-gyong is today an aide to Kim Jong-il and vice minister of the North Korean People's Armed Forces...

South Korea has an army and air force for this. They have had 56 years to prepare.

WHY are fish net stockings so sexy? What is it about seeing lines crisscrossing around gams that gets the juices flowing??

[EQAndyBuzz]

I don’t get it. In fighting these type of wars, the minute you take Kim out, the war is over. We know where this guy is 24/7.

Land acquisition wars are a thing of the past. North Korea can destroy the south, then what? It’s like China taking Taiwan. They would have to level the place. Then what?

The soviets realized this after Reagan bankrupted them. You want land, it will cost you. That’s why wars are being fought using subtle means. Like the war on democracy being fought by Obama and the communists against the american people. Ideological wars are the new thing. Don’t use force, use persuasion and lying to accomplish your goal.

The North Koreans can’t afford to go to war.That is Not without the financial and hardware support from Russia and China.

I think a war will only happen when the Russian’s or Chinese decide it to their Benefit to start a war on the Korean peninsula.

[Vaquero]

They have had 56 years to prepare.

but like Japan and Europe, they have relied on us to be the suckers....

[TexasRepublic]

The U.S. and SK could announce to the world that after the first artillery shell hits Seoul, Pyongyang and other major NK cities would be nuked repeatedly. Perhaps the NK can cause havoc in the south, but the dead NK leaders will never live to see it.

[Reaganite Republican]

Exactly, Obama has no grasp of the concept of deterrence whatsoever

In contrast, when Reagan was asked if he’d have nuked North Vietnam to bring us victory, he said “No, I don’t think it was needed... but I’d like the enemy to go to bed each and every night thinking that I might”

THAT’s what I’m talkin bout

[Reaganite Republican]

Much obliged, 7 o’ 9

“Don’t use force, use persuasion and lying to accomplish your goal”

Absolutely... not to mention 5th columnists to exploit politically correct tools like most of Hollywood, the courts, and increasingly naive public opinion.

Only point I would differ on would be re. knowing where he is... Kim Jong Il has elaborate underground bunkers and even long roads connecting over 20 palaces, offices, and villas... employs myriad doubles... and is given to disappearing from the public eye for months at a time.

On ground human intelligence beyond scarce for us in the DPRK too... IMHO the best we can do is educated guess, or just blow it ALL up lol

[bunkerhill7]

Yeah, but the South has the Wonder Girls
