South Korea's military plans to develop a "Frankenmissile" to counter North Korea's escalating missile and nuclear capabilities in a bid to overwhelm the North during the initial phase of the war.
In its report for an annual parliamentary audit by the National Assembly's Defence Committee, the army said they would develop the "Hyunmoo IV" surface-to-surface missile, powerful enough to destroy North Korea's underground military facilities and command centre.
Combined with indigenous tactical surface-to-surface missiles and Hyunmoo-class intermediate-range ballistic missiles, the advanced pre-emptive strike capability would inflict "unbearable cost" on the North by neutralising its nuclear and missile sites, as well as long-range artillery units, the army said.

I hope they can effectively deter the NORKs.
a couple gazillion of these would be useful too:

This North Korean freak needs to understand he is all alone in his perverted quest. It doesn’t end well for him.
Take it from someone who spent two tours working with them back when they were still a third-world country: They have a much better military than the DPRK and they have the fuel, food and supplies to use it.
I imagine Trump said something along the lines of; if you want to appease the North, you can write the check.
That is good to hear. Little Fat Boy seems determined to start a war.
My Korean captains and majors in the bunker I worked in had served in Vietnam with us. Hilarious stories.
“I see your missiles and I raise you 10
Kts.” The winner gets the pot or what ever remains. BTW, if there was a moderate NK out there, Kim would be gone by now. The Russians and the Chinese would have arranged his demise. (All they have to do is get the group that works for the Clintons.) (Headline, Kim committs suicide in a car with 3 shots to the back of his head and then explodes the bomb in the gas tank, see no one the wiser.)
Maybe one to two thousand guns can reach Seoul. Most of the North Korean guns are 5-12 mile ranges. They also are in the habit of pulling their guns into the bunkers and closing the armored doors when they reload the guns, drastically reducing their fire rate.
All of their arty positions are known and I suspect each has been thoroughly analyzed to determine the shell, the jdam or the missile warhead needed to break each and every one.
They are arranged in a bowl shape with mountains behind them which concentrates their firepower into a relatively small area which is to S. Korea's advantage.
There would be a significant number of casualties in Seoul but I don't think that the artillery is the insolvable problem that we have been led to believe it is.
They should strap Al Franken to it. Send him to NK.
I live in dairy country. A Hyunmoo is something I’ve heard before
Or they could use the Exploding-Train-Trick which almost got his father ...
Good. It’s time for South Korea to take over it’s own defense. We have had US forces in South Korea for far too long.
Kim Dumb Fat Ass won’t get the “joke”.
Sorks should do the majority of the fighting just like the Phillipinos did in WW2. Next: Iran.
TONGIL..!!
