That is true. It is going to take a long time for them to modernize their military with new tanks, fighters and ships.

The 11,000-ton destroyers of the Sejong The Great Class are top-notch. Carrying 128 missiles makes it one of the heaviest-armed ships on the planet along with the Kirov-class (Russia) and the Arleigh Burke Class (US).

3 have been completed at close to a billion bucks a pop.

Wikipedia (ha ha) lists 20 aircraft carriers in service among the world's navies.

10 of them are in the US Navy. Only the Russians have ever built anything close to the capabilities of the USN "Nimitz" class. Russia has one of them in service, the other was sold partially completed to the Chicoms, who finished it and put it in service. USN, even in its current degraded state under the Communist Mohammedan Usurper, is more navy than the rest of the world combined.
