This tells you one thing: They are not expecting that their launch site would not be attacked. If they are, they will actually hide their jets. Their jets have no chance against their enemy: air force of S. Korea/U.S./Japan.

This is purely a publicity stunt.

Ping!

“MiG-23 fighter jets”

You mean the North Koreans still fly those things.. Wow.. Russia and all the other former Warsaw Pact has boneyard and destroyed all theirs..

[Jet Jaguar]

Sweet! Targets.

Mig-23’s? April Fool’s joke? There’s a car dealership in my area with one also.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Posturing. Pathetic.

[Blueflag]

Mig-23s are advanced fighters? Who knew Floggers are advanced in today’s world.

I am in favor of finally dealing with this long festering situation . They launch , we knock it out , their move .
If they launch any attacks what-so-ever I say we nuke their rotten little asses and call it a done deal.
We must have a class of nuke that is fairly low yield , that we could walk all over every military site on their fleabag
little country . It’s time the world put the foot down on these mouthy little $hits . They are the ones that should take orders , not give them.
This is what happens when wars are not concluded in VICTORY!

MiG-23’s... advanced fighter jets?!?

Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

Now I’d be singing a different tune if it was their MiG-29’s.

Well, I was thinking the wreckage would make a nice habitat for the marine life should they get that far.

Stop worrying. Obama said that tiny countries like North Korea don’t pose a serious threat to us.

SK has the F-15K. The M-23 is no match, the M-29 in capable hands may be a bit of a problem, but somehow, I doubt it.

NK pilots have precious little training flight.

A year or two ago, top Chinese official visited N. Korea. He brought some gift(aids.) One of the biggest gifts was jet fuel.

I think Chia Head values a year supply of jet fuel for a fighter squadron more than one million ton of grain aids.

Mig 23 = "advanced fighter jet"????

In what century?

When Buff was doing a bombing run on Vietnam.

North Korea has deployed a fleet of MiG-23 fighter jets along the east coast where it is gearing up to launch a rocket to send what it claims is a "satellite" into orbit, a senior Air Force official said Thursday.

...and after

Like the Soviets, the DPRK holds on to everything: They still have their MiG-15s/19’s/21’s, their T-34 tanks, etc..

[anoldafvet]

You’re forgetting who is president.

Yo, Kim. 1973 just called. It wants its fighter jets back!
