"unable to keep its radar system fully operational due to an electricity shortage."

25 million people. No food. No electricity for defensive radars. And these clowns are building nukes and ICBMs?

[rockinqsranch]

Too funny. Playing the Norks to telegraph their response. Simpletons.

[Newbomb Turk]

Thats why we keep probing their defenses. Burning up their resources and gaging response times.

Every time they paint us with their radar, we target the point for destruction. We will blind them in under 20 minutes.

[Snickering Hound]

A few dozen operational Cold War mig 23’s and 29’s.

Their pilots get a few dozen flying hours per year.

Everything else is even more ancient.

[Calvin Locke]

Can you say "Protection Racket"?

Nuclear blackmail.

[ThunderSleeps]

They (NK) have a few Mig-29s that might prove a little interesting. Anything else of theirs they put up against an F-15C ... Just making it easy for US pilots to accumulate silhouettes...

“Too funny. Playing the Norks to telegraph their response. Simpletons.”

It would cause KJU to evacuate his bowels if we just buzzed Pyongyang at night with a couple of B-2s.

They can’t detect stealth. Move all the chit hole
equipment you want. Hilarious.

All two of them???

[Steely Tom]

There has been speculation that the impoverished state was unable to keep its radar system fully operational due to an electricity shortage.

China could supply them with electrical generators if they wished.

The article doesn't quite make it clear whether NK radars were operating but failed to detect the Lancers, or if they were simply not operational at the time.

[Rebelbase]

I hope we probe them on their west coast next time.

[justa-hairyape]

So this is why Chia Pet has ramped up the rhetoric. We could have wiped him out, and he would have only known it happened when Lucifer stuck his fork in him. Also very telling that neither China nor Russia warned him in real time.

[justa-hairyape]

But what about the escorting F 15’s ?

[hinckley buzzard]

This is why I continue to be skeptical of the Norks ability to fight a war: no training time, no operational experience, no officer corps or NCOs with combat experience, dubious investment in maintenance and readiness, thin to nonexistent logistic trains. Once they shoot their initial wad, they're done.

[Mike-o-Matic]

>> Regarding North Korea's military situation around the DMZ,
>> Lee said the North is also trying to prevent any accidental clash
>> the sudden, comprehensive destruction of their entire nation..

There, I fixed it for 'em.

I say it is a the direct result of America's appeasement "strategy." We have taught them to make a threat to get money. Imagine what the Norks thought when Øbama sent pallets of money to Iran! They didn't count on us having a new sheriff in town. Kim says "I shoot missile, it not rain money. WTF? Shoot another."

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

[North Korea's] its radars were unable to detect the bombers

I have always wondered how the North Koreans instrument their missile tests. I suppose they track the missiles as best they can until they leave ground coverage and extrapolate the trajectories as best they can. These extrapolations are then embellished and magnified and broadcast as masterful feats of engineering. They probably depend on leaks to the Western press to give them down range information.

Sounds like a flight up the West coast is in order today.
