Even air superiority by itself is not sufficient as the Vietnam war demonstrated.

"Plus the South Korean military"? You mean the 500,000 South Korean army personnel?

The North Korean army is mostly junk, the North Korean navy is junk, the North Korean air force is junk. And the situation in Korea is vastly different to Vietnam.

Raptor1 : a bullet is a bullet, it doesn't have to be fired from a last generation M-16 to be able to kill someone. Even artillery guns can be "old" and yet deadly.
As for the NK navy, it is acceptable for their mission. Their navy is not designed to go out in the middle of the pacific ocean and fight it out with the US Navy.
For coastal defence its quite good, and lets not forget theor midget submarines which can be quite deadly as well.

Oh, I know that, but you make it sound like there's a million North Korean troops facing some tiny force which can't possibly hold against the sheer numbers.

This poll is not a joke? Or chart applies only to U.S. aircraft and not at all ... if the world rankings for the whole world does not think there is room for any F**
