“Seoul is only about 35 miles south of the DMZ (in range of Nork Arty). “
How much artillery, worldwide, has a 35+ mile range? And that’s from the DMZ to the northern outskirts of Seoul.
Sure, they have some 240mm MLS and some short range missiles with that range, but the idea they could destroy Seoul with artillery is a complete fallacy.
Especially when under counter fire.
“How much artillery, worldwide, has a 35+ mile range? And that’s from the DMZ to the northern outskirts of Seoul.”
They have 170 mm self propelled gun, which has a range of about 25 miles. But it can be equipped with rocket assisted projectiles which can give it a range of over 35 miles. Don’t know how many they have. They won’t destroy Seoul, took the Russians weeks to destroy large cities. What it will do is cause panic in the Seoul population and shut the highways down. I saw accidents on Koreas paid tollways where there was an accident in congested traffic. Wreckers could not get to the accident scene because of the congestion and very little or no shoulder. The car had to be airlifted out. So in case of war, it will be very difficult to go north and south of Seoul.
