The Norks deploy their missiles on mobile carriers.

ROK might want to consider re-evaluating their OPSEC policies.

How novel, South Korea has taken notice. And all these months I thought they were asleep.

Do it! Blow them up!

South Korea's military is drawing up plans for a 'surgical strike' to take out Kim Jong-un's missile

Codename "Operation Lorena Bobbitt"

This is the kind of stuff which should not be leaked. And, it is leaked, should not be published. Aren’t their ANY laws to the damage reporters can do by publishing national security information?

An attack on Norkea probably requieres a truly massive strike ont he artillery that is massed at the DMZ. An effective attack probably has to await the weather providing a hard steady airflow from south to north to keep the fallout from Seoul.

Personally, I like the old “Rods from God” space based system.

“A satellite containing a magazine of tungsten rods and a directional thrust system. When a strike is ordered, the satellite would brake one of the rods out of its orbit and into a suborbital trajectory that intersects the target.

“As the rod approaches periapsis and the target due to gravity, it picks up immense speed until it begins decelerating in the atmosphere and reaches terminal velocity shortly before impact. The rods would typically be shaped to minimize air resistance and maximize terminal velocity.

“The Outer Space Treaty is designed to prohibit weapons of mass destruction in orbit or outer space; however, its text only prohibits nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons. Since the most common form of kinetic ammunition is inert tungsten rods, in most cases, kinetic bombardment is not prohibited by the treaty.”

Time to get our 747 with the Laser out of mothballs and do some more “testing”.

South Korea's military is drawing up plans for a 'surgical strike' to take out Kim Jong-un's missile and nuclear facilities

I would like to hope that they would have had these plans on file for years now, continuously updated as needed. After all, no one is more at risk from North Korea's aggression than South Korea. So they should be at the forefront of being prepared for their own defense.

And in order to minimize their own civilian casualties, they should launch their preemptive strike on a Saturday afternoon in the summer. They could order an evacuation of Seoul starting on Friday afternoon, and I doubt that North Korea's spies could tell the difference from the normal volume of traffic as the city folk head south to "get away from it all" every weekend. "Everything's normal" they'd radio back to Dear Leader, as Seoul's population/potential casualties drains away right in front of their faces. (I'm being sarcastic; but having experienced the weekend traffic exodus from Seoul, not entirely so.)
