EMP from several stealth CHAMP cruise missiles will wipe out the communications to those artillery units.
The chances of them all getting the order to start the bombardment is small.
The large clusters of artillery units north of the DMZ are prime targets for large weapons,
and we still have Neutron Bombs, and Tactical Nuclear weapons that are easily carried on most of the fighter aircraft we have in the region (aircraft carriers).
Then there's the weapons ROK has along the DMZ.
I think the preemptive strike will be well panned and well coordinated.
Don't forget about what the stealth bombers can do, attacking from a direction that the North is not planning on.
If, by some slight chance, Trump does get permission to overfly China's airspace for the preemptive strike, that'll really reek havoc on North Korea's defensive plans.

The NK are constantly in a state of war, comms being cut is probably a go ahead to fire.

We aren’t going to use any nukes or neutron bombs(which we aren’t supposed to have) in a pre-emptive strike. There’s just no way, that would be monumentally stupid and a great way to lose support world-wide.

Let’s discuss practical solutions.

The only way a pre-emptive strike will be worth it is somehow getting rid of all the artillery before any of it can fire.

I don’t think it’s possible to do a pre-emptive strike using conventional means on NK without Seoul getting battered.

I honestly think Kim is insane, he’ll feel like he has nothing to lose. Either we solve this diplomatically through China, or there will be war on the Korean peninsula and it won’t be like Iraq or Afghanistan.

In the long run war might be the way to go.

NK needs to be removed as a threat to peace.
