Wikipedia lists a total of 572 fighters in NK's air force. A typical US carrier air wing has 58 fighters, 3 carriers making that about 174. Assuming all aircraft are available on all sides.... That's just over 3 to 1 ratio favoring NK (by the numbers).

Me, I think if the brown smelly stuff hits the air circulating machine the Navy flyboys better hurry up and get their 3 kills in before the Air Force guys show up and take away some of the fun. NK's 35 Mig 29s might pose a threat on paper, but I doubt their pilots have enough flying hours and training to have developed tactics to use them effectively.

Just like in Korean War I, a Korean War II will begin with a fly off of DPRK AF assets to China. They will operate out of Chinese air bases. The ROE’s will not allow pursuit.
