That is a gross overestimate of NK’s ability to damage Seoul. It’s 40km+ from the DMZ to Seoul proper and VERY few artillery and missile systems have that kind of range.
Every prepared firing point for weapons of that caliber are well known and won’t last long under the weight of RoK/US counterbattery fire. Anyone who thinks NK is going have the ability to reposition it’s batteries once that starts is dead wrong.
North Korea’s “obliteration” of Seoul in the first hours of a full scale war is a urban legend that gets bigger every time it’s retold.

By an interesting coincidence, SK’s K9 self-propelled gun has a range of 40 KM. A significant portion of the dug-in NK stuff will reach out to 60, but it’s random fire at that range.
SK also has some interesting missile capabilities.
Yep!...N.Korea bows to China. China won't go to war over N.Korea...they'll take over first with the blessings of the International Community. I still say covert operations will take N.Korea Kim-bo and his governing thugs down when China sees itself backed against the wall....this may be the time. But there will not be a war.
