States that "North Korea has about 500 long-range artillery tubes within
range of Seoul...is within range of the 170mm Koksan gun and two hundred
240mm multiple-rocket launchers...The proximity of these long-range
systems to the Demilitarized Zone threatens all of Seoul with
devastating attacks."

Such an attack might result in a 100,000 dead in Seoul in the first day.


...if nobody bothers with counterbattery fire, or drops a bunch of high
explosives in the area of the artillery to make them stop shooting.

We *know* where these cannons are going to be firing from. Wh know
where their hardened shelters are. We know where their radar defenses
are.

If the North doesn't start with a completely unprovoked surprise attack,
they've got a good chance of getting erased very quickly.




I doubt we know as much as you think. We would definitely know once they
started firing in bulk missiles and shells.

If that moment comes, I doubt we would have time to knock their radar
defenses. That means it going to be very dangerous there.
