The U.S. military announced Thursday that two B-2 stealth bombers were sent to South Korea to participate in a training exercise, demonstrating the Pentagon's commitment to defend its ally against threats from North Korea.
The two B-2 Spirit bombers flew more than 6,500 miles from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri to South Korea, dropping inert munitions before returning to the U.S., according to a statement released by U.S. Forces Korea.
"The United States is steadfast in its alliance commitment to the defense of the Republic of Korea, to deterring aggression, and to ensuring peace and stability in the region," the statement said.
The B-2 Spirit is capable of delivering both conventional and nuclear weapons. The Pentagon said the mission was part of its ongoing Foal Eagle training exercise series, which began March 1 and ends April 30.
The exercise was announced a day after North Korea said it had shut down a key military hotline usually used to arrange passage for workers and goods through the Demilitarized Zone.
The hotline shutdown follows a torrent of bellicose rhetoric in recent weeks from North Korea, which is angry about annual South Korea-U.S. military drills and U.N. sanctions over its nuclear test last month. North Korea calls the drills rehearsal for an invasion; Seoul and Washington say the training is defensive in nature and that they have no intention of attacking.
North Korea's threats and provocations are seen as efforts to provoke the new government in Seoul, led by President Park Geun-hye, to change its policies toward Pyongyang. North Korea's moves at home to order troops into "combat readiness" are seen as ways to build domestic unity as young leader Kim Jong Un strengthens his military credentials.
North Korea previously cut Red Cross phone and fax hotlines with South Korea, and another communication channel with the U.S.-led U.N. command at the border between the Koreas. Three other telephone hotlines used only to exchange information about air traffic were still operating normally Thursday, according to South Korea's Air Traffic Center.
North Korea said there was no need for communication between the countries in a situation "where a war may break out at any moment."
In Washington, U.S. State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell told reporters that North Korea's "latest threat to cut off communication links coupled with its provocative rhetoric is not constructive to ensuring peace and stability on the peninsula."
Although North Korea has vowed nuclear strikes on the U.S., analysts outside the country have seen no proof that North Korean scientists have yet mastered the technology needed to build a nuclear warhead small enough to mount on a missile.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

I wonder if Kim Jong Un really understands what those two aircraft could do to his country in 12 minutes. Each of them can independently target 60 different sites with precision guided conventional or tactical nuclear weapons. Without using a weapon over one kiloton, in one sortie. they could reduce his entire country to a burning dump in under an hour. The question Kim, is, "Are you feeling lucky today?"

:lol

you have no idea what they're up against in terms of both terrain and 6-700k troops facing them (combined ROK/US forces).

There's no question it would be an epic showdown the likes of which hasn't been seen since WW2, but you're sadly mistaken if you think it would be some walk in the park. Every mountain pass and bridge is pre-rigged to blow, the entire Imjin river is more or less fortified, and the DMZ is still the most concentrated (AFAIK) place in the world in terms of mines. Basically, from the DMZ to the northern reaches of Seoul is fortified in some way, other than the populated areas.

While the NKPA has 13,000 pieces of artillery (accounts vary), it's "well-seasoned" troops have never fought before and are using 20 year old equipment (or worse). They would also have zero chance in the air, where we would establish dominance within the first few hours.

When I was stationed in Uijongbu (north of Seoul), our base was thought to have some 200-500 artillery pieces aimed at us alone, since our MLRS were able to hit Pyongyang from the parking lot (however, our mission was counter-battery fire and concentrations of troops/armor).

So, could they kill thousands in Seoul within the first few hours? Yes, especially if they used incendiary rounds, but I highly doubt they could "flatten" the city in that amount of time. Keep in mind that our counter-battery abilities would be up and firing within minutes, as would planes in the air and cruise missiles from the sea. All of that would be operating within the hour, and that's not even bringing the ROK's incredibly formidable forces into account (give me a ROK soldier over pretty much anyone else on earth outside of our guys, any day).

There is no more war-gamed strip of land on earth, and even now I think we would stop them cold. But Seoul would burn, and tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, would die. It would probably be on a scale human kind has never seen before, including Hiroshima/Nagasaki/Dresden/Tokyo.

But, logistically and militarily, considering the terrain as well as the forces arrayed against them, I highly doubt they would make it much more than 10 miles...Max

[symple19]

Their successes during the first days of the Korean War were almost completely due to surprise. When the Chinese drove Mac off the Yalu and back through Seoul it was with a 10-1 or larger numerical advantage utilizing human wave attacks.

All of these are reasons Kim won't do shit. He's posturing for daddy's generals, grabbing his balls and saying "look at me, I'm tough!"

I also think he's far too interested in living in splendor while his people are subjugated, starved, and worked to death.

However, the routine is that after the US/ROK war games are over, he'll probably lob a few shells somewhere or sink a ROK boat to save face...Then return to the table and cry that he wants food/aid.

[ChumpDumper]

Exactly, why would Kim telegraph his only punch, ruining any small advantage surprise might give him?

I think these guys are crazy, but they aren't stupid.

[symple19]

Doubtful. The Chinese were out in front on the latest round of sanctions, signalling a stunning shift in policy toward the NK's. I think that, in some ways, they're as wary of Kim as we are at this point.

[symple19]

You're right, they wouldn't

[Nbadan]

Lil Kim also has about 9 nuclear weapons...any attack on South Korea would have to be simultaneous with attacks on US Bases in the region...Kim would be foolish to fight an all out war against the combined US-Korean forces, but if he can demoralize the South by crippling Seoul, while also attacking Japan or US bases in the region, he could sit back and take the hits from the U.S. as he launches a ground war of attrition against any invading US forces with his troops...

Better hope he's bluffing...

North Korea rocket units on standby to attack US bases


Kim Jong-un ordered the rocket units to be put on standby after the US flew two stealth bombers over the Korean peninsula
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un signed off on the order at a midnight meeting of top generals and "judged the time has come to settle accounts with the US imperialists in view of the prevailing situation", the official KCNA news agency said.

[ChumpDumper]

Ground war of attrition in the sense that the North's ground forces would suffer constant attrition from the air.

Seriously, why would Kim attack anyone now?

[Nbadan]

North Korea Missile Activity: South Korea Reportedly Detects Increased Movement At Rocket Sites


After a report that North Korea was placing its rocket units on standby to attack U.S. military bases, South Korea's Yonhap news agency is now stating that South Korea has detected increased activity at the country's missile sites.

KCNA News reported that leader Kim Jong-un had signed the order at a meeting of top generals and said the time had come to "settle accounts" with the U.S.

The Yonhap news agency quotes a military source as saying, "Sharply increased movements of vehicles and soldiers have been detected recently at North Korea's mid- and long-range missile sites."

:lol Nbadan

fwiw, I think the Obama administration is handling this well in conjunction with the defense department and our ROK allies.


U.S. officials said President Obama approved Thursday's deployment of the stealth bombers, which could be seen flying over the peninsula and whose mission was confirmed by U.S. military officials in the U.S. and South Korea. His decision, they said, came after their use was reviewed by top national security officials on a recommendation from Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel.

South Korean officials had asked for such a demonstration of U.S. "extended deterrence"—a military term used for nuclear force, defense officials said.

The advanced bombers' training run from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri was the first such mission over South Korea to have been made public by the U.S. It was also the first time the craft have flown a round trip from U.S. to the Korean peninsula for such an exercise. It followed similar missions earlier this month by B-52 bombers during the annual U.S.-South Korean war games.

It's also interesting to note that this is the first major test for the relevant new cabinet members in Barry's admin, so it's not just Kim who has something to prove.

Highly unlikely considering the range and refueling capabilities available, not to mention all the special personnel and equipment required to maintain the birds.

Proximity is key many times, for purposes of time. Trust me, they can base the needed support at Osan. Ever visit that airbase? I have.

Those things are fast, but it takes time to cover 6,500 miles.

[symple19]

Imo, if they wanted them close by it would probably be better to put them in Japan or one of the various island bases in the Pacific region. Much less of a risk than Osan which could be hit by Scuds or some other medium range NKPA missile.

Easier to secure as well.

The landing facility is huge at Osan. The runway is long enough for an emergency landing of the shuttle-craft when it was used.

I know there is some underground outside of just the standard bunkers. I don't know if the have an underground hanger or not. I would speculate that at least one above ground hanger has an elevator, once used for the SR 71, and an underground facility.

Since they once use the Blackbird there, it wouldn't take much to protect and conceal other birds.

Only a few hours. No bomber is a rapid reactionary force. That's what teams are for, and why Marines are stationed nearby. For sure joint strike aircraft are in proximity, but the big BUFFs (back then) don't need to be able to get there right now, they just need to get airborne. Once they are, it's inevitable. They aren't going to surgically strike a compound.

[ChumpDumper]

I bet they didn't come from Osan. Proximity doesn't matter with the B-2, that's the whole point.

Pretty amateur assessment of North Korea's military TBH, but then when you look at what PM did to prove it's 9/11 'hypothesis', it's no surprise...

China is the magic question here...would it support its ally in order to keep NATO and the US out of its backyard?

[Nbadan]

This is significant...

Source: Reuters


(Reuters) - North Korea stepped up pressure on Seoul by delaying access to a joint industrial park in a move that could trap hundreds of South Korean workers on the northern side of the world's most militarized border.

It was not immediately clear if the move was aimed at closing the Kaesong Industrial zone, which generates $2 billion a year in trade for the impoverished North and $80 million in cash wages that go straight to its government. North Korean delays to accessing the zone are very rare.

The delay came after Pyongyang said it would restart a nuclear reactor that it uses to produce plutonium for its nuclear weapons program and as Washington deployed military resources in South Korea amid growing tensions with the North.
