Stealth bombers could do it, in theory. No advance warning, unlike an ICBM (and I doubt North Korea has over-the-horizon radar like America’s Pave Paws either to see ICBMs.)
That’s total nonsense. There are probably thousands of artillery pieces within range of Seoul, many of them in hardened bunkers built into mountains. It would take time to eliminate them – you don’t just get to wave a magic wand and say “stealth will do it!” when you’re talking about the challenge of delivering warheads to many, many, many targets that are not easily targeted. It will quite simply take time to annihilate all these threats, and having an invisible aircraft is probably of marginal utility compared to having very good counter-battery fire (in which the Norks fire something, our radars accurately pinpoint where it came from, and our artillery shoots something back and hope the bad guys haven’t retreated back into the mountain before that counterfire lands).
To give you a sense of what we’re talking about here, one giant volley of North Korean artillery would deliver about as big a punch to Seoul as a dozen B-52s. That’s just one volley.
Or MS-13, or BLM …
I was referring to stealth bombers dropping a nuke on Pyongyang. Not anything about artillery.
The point still stands.
I received a warning for a “political jab” a few days ago. This has been here for almost 24 hours, and no comment from any Mod about this?
Whatever.
Maybe because I’m referring to my *own *TDS?
Also not to junior mod, but your warning was in “General Questions” not “Great Debates”. Different forums have different rules.
Stealth-delivered nukes will. If you’re going to nuke PY then you might as well use more nukes to save Seoul.
Downtown Seoul is about 4 miles from the border and 2.5 more miles from the artillary bunkers. look up what kind of radioactive cloud would be created from the kind of ground bursts that would be necessary to disable all the batteries. Seoul will be uninhabitable for decades at least.
