South Korea has pledged to develop...
My first thought, too. Just a wee bit lat ego develop such a weapon, huh?
Furthermore, SK will loft a 2 ton warhead to the north while NK is shooting 50,000 warheads south. I’m no weapons expert, but I do recall 50,000 is a heap bigger than 2.
I’m in favor of launching everything we got at them and then nuking them from space... Just to be sure.
Let them be an example of what happens when you threaten America and it’s allies.
It will be real cofveve.
Not all that tough as we have already been doing it on a different scale in the mountains of Afghanistan. Shoot a delayed fused projectile into the opening and when it goes off inside the shaft, it sucks all of the oxygen out of it to feed the explosion. Now, develop the same thing but instead of a flaming explosion, set off a charge to release a large container of halon. Far more effective at sucking all of the oxygen at the same time not allowing anything the opportunity to ignite.
Just clean out the chord wood and turn their own weapons around on them.
