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

/begin my translation

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."

These are actually SP Artillery, most likely 152mm.

No, they are at Ft. Hood, and have been there for several decades. There is one Brigade of the 2nd ID there, but not much longer, and they aren’t on the DMZ.

They have 50 subs ?

All funds from citizens are confiscated and then controlled by chief administration goons. It's how communism works ... when the bullsh*t is washed away.

I lived there for a while. I found them to be some of the most courteous people I’ve ever met. They don’t suffer fools though, and sometimes Americans do some really dumb stuff abroad...

As soon as they see the amusement park and restaurants at the end of the rail bridge it’s all over: the bulgoki there is amazing!

Do you think they have nukes on board? Maybe a surprise attack on California before they hit South Korea?

In the control towers at Kunsan and Osan, I had more P-3s land and take off than I care to count, between the 5 short tours I ‘ve had from 1985 thru 1996.

My nephew lives there now with his Korean wife. He says Americans don’t walk on water any more but, except for certain fools, are highly respected. Nephew probably won’t come back here except for family visits. His attitude toward the norks current threats and bluster is, “Bring it on, it’s time we take care of old business.”

The P-8I (Indian/International) has a MAD.

Don’t know if any are operational yet.

Yeah if some world leader wants to start a war it would be best for him to do it while the U.S. still suffers with the liar, coward, in chief in the White House. Who knows what Obastard would do if NK attacked South Korea.

Interesting .. they waited until the Ronald Reagan left San Diego ..??

I still think this is a plan our president knows about .. and he’s innocent (right) .. I mean, after all .. he’s on vacation in HI.

However, the subs might make a stop at HI before they get to San Diego ..??
