Military Sources, "About 50 N. Korean Submarines Left Their Bases...Can't be Located"

Dozens of N. Korean submarines left their bases at both Eastern and Western coast, and can't be located. Military are increasing their surveillance capability to track them, it is confirmed.

That accounts for 70% of (N. Korea's) submarine fleet, which totals 70 ships. This is the largest rate of deployment since the Korean War.

Military sources said, "This is 10 times more than their normal deployment level. Dozens of them left their bases at both coasts, and we are unable to track them."

They said, "70% of their submarine fleet is not located. We are increasing our surveillance capability to find them."

They suspect that the unusually high level of N. Korea's submarine movements may be for further military provocation, and raised their level of alert.

N. Korea also more than doubled its front-line deployment of artillery power, since the high-level talks began.

The sources said, "Since the talks began, their front-line artillery power has more than doubled."

Nothing like another Korean War to spur growth... geez!

[Rockpile]

Thank goodness that US troops are nowhere near the border where they could be shelled in their barracks in the middle of the night.

They have 50 submarines? Sounds like the US Navy needs to go fishing. Too bad if the all disappear. Oops, forgot we our Obama in office.

The People's Liberation Army has sent troops to China's border with North Korea as escalating tensions on the Korean peninsula have pushed North and South to the brink of possible war.

They have lots of midget submarines.

“The Eastern World, it is explodin’...”

Three man jobs mostly or something like that.

No need to be mean.

My money is on the South Koreans ... those are some Bad Ass Mo Fo’s

I know this from personal experience, also some of the nicest guys / families you’d ever want to meet.

I know they don’t have the restraints that our POS Muslim resident imposes on our troops. They should do well against the 40% of NORKS that don’t try to defect. The 60% that try to defect better be pretty convincing right up front.

In the 1950s a lot of Americans fought and died for South Korea, a nation that in 2015 hates us so much we can’t even call the movie “Captain America” when we send it to their theaters.

[Yosemitest]

It's time to let SOUTH KOREA kick the crap out of North Korea.
Enough of this "Brinksmanship" B.S. !

[dfwgator]

And then we get the USS Pueblo back.

[hosepipe]

Can’t be located by WHOM?

[IAMNO1]

Talks are going on. Lets send John Kerry over there. That should appease them. No sense starting a war when you can get everything you want without one.

[BunnySlippers]

Somebody been lying to us?
