Makes me feel even more sorry for the residents of Pyongyang, what goes up must surely come down again...

Besides, I wonder how many of those guns would fire and how many would jam. Still, maybe put a stand-off missile on the Vimy then.

You would also have to wonder about how much functional ordnance they actually have as well.

Lets consider what the horn section can do to the string section. Or, lets consider the worst case.

Or we can just speculate. After all, unless you work in the intelligence community, you don't really know. And if you do work in the intelligence community, you probably shouldn't be yaking about it here.

I get what you're saying TLAM, but I've always thought North Korea as kind of a paper tiger. Sure, they've got soldiers and hardware, but with dubious training and in dubious states of repair. They're also so diplomatically isolated that if they went to war with anyone, they wouldn't be getting any help; military or otherwise. They're not like, say, an Iran who actually has buddies in the world. True, they have China, but the Chinese seem more embarassed by their association than anything at this point, and appear to do everything to distance themselves from Kim and his regime.

I would cosider all tests successful and work backward. Not the orherway.
