''And thousands of round of cold war era artillery will be able wipe out the ROK "AI revolution" within days...''  
  
[https://www.armyrecognition.com/news/army-news/2025/south-korea-develops-long-range-interceptor-to-counter-north-korean-artillery-threats-by-2028](https://www.armyrecognition.com/news/army-news/2025/south-korea-develops-long-range-interceptor-to-counter-north-korean-artillery-threats-by-2028)  
  
Dude, the system is actually far more capable than Iron Dome; Israel had offered Iron Dome technology to ROK, but ROK rejected it as not good enough.  
  
Not only that, ROK has a massive, advanced, sophisticated, the most advanced in the world, counter battery system that will wipe out the DPRK artillery once they fired their first round, they will be located.   ROK has been working on cluster of nanosatellites that will detect DPRK artillery bases right after they fired their first round.  DPRK artillery won't last very long after they fired their first round.  
  
''the fact you think "ROK will be a superpower"  
  
Yes, ROK will become #1 Superpower by 2050.     
  
''while its greatest threat is a country with the GDP of Birmingham, Alabama that could wipe out 5 million people in the opening round''  
  
'' The estimated casualties that North Korean artillery could inflict on South Korea range from approximately 4,500 to over 200,000, depending on the scale and duration of the bombardment. Pyongyang has leveraged Seoul’s apparent vulnerability through brinkmanship diplomacy, extracting concessions by threatening artillery strikes on the south''  
  
[https://mwi.westpoint.edu/why-north-koreas-artillery-threat-should-not-be-exaggerated/](https://mwi.westpoint.edu/why-north-koreas-artillery-threat-should-not-be-exaggerated/)  
  
This is from people who have far better intel than you, and who urge ROK not to underestimate DPRK artillery threat.   Nothing like 5 million not even close, calm down, dude.     
  
''of a (I pray to God) 'theoretical' conflict... ''  
  
Dude, there's no need to pray to God: He had already made up His mind, long before you were born.   He already knows whether you will be saved or not, before you were even born!   Praying won't change anything.  
  
''grow the fuck up, you're how old again?''  
  
59 now, but in great shape, both mentally, and physically (other than torn meniscus on my left knee, and Sciascia on my right hip, occasional bouts of diarrhea, borderline diabetes, which I manage with good diet, exercise, and borderline glaucoma, which I manage with sunglasses on sunny days.)  
  
How old are you yourself?       
  
''You're constantly proclaiming "value" of others, ...''  
  
I do; I learned to do it due to many unfortunate experiences I have had, by taking others at their words, not through their character as revealed through their actions contrasting their words.   
  
''...yet you're so full of 'yourself' that you can't do a simple wargame in your head?''  
  
I had a long time ago, regarding that scenario; I read/listen/watch ROK contingency plans regarding DPRK, and I am getting even more impressed.   ROK has been distributing her key assets (military, economy, technology, political) for decades, with both independent, and mutually supporting defense batteries at the tactical level, operational level, backed up by strategically very aggressive/offensive plan as ROK version of better than MAD.  
  
[https://mwi.westpoint.edu/why-north-koreas-artillery-threat-should-not-be-exaggerated/](https://mwi.westpoint.edu/why-north-koreas-artillery-threat-should-not-be-exaggerated/)

[https://www.csis.org/analysis/south-koreas-offensive-military-strategy-and-its-dilemma](https://www.csis.org/analysis/south-koreas-offensive-military-strategy-and-its-dilemma)  
  
Btw. ROK counter battery system, and KMPR has been improving relentlessly, and will keep improving.     
  
''10000 artillery firing on average 6 rounds a minute, over a million rounds, thousands of cruise missiles firing simultaneously, and 30-40 nuclear cruise/ballistic missiles during the first hours....''  
  
.....and you think ROK will stand by, do nothing?   ROK has been developing nanosatellites system for the last few years, that will give far better coverage of DPRK offensive assets, and whereabouts of their VIP leaderships.   All those assets you're talking about will be far less than 100% successful.   ROK interception system, the best in the world, will shoot down majority to most of them, and counter battery will destroy virtually all of their offensive assets once they reveal their locations, once they fired very quickly.   After that, will come KMPR, annihilating the entire VIP leadership.  
  
I understand U.S won't be able to handle such threat: ROK can.  
  
''.... but yeah we should all keep listening to the delusional old man playing Napoleon on the internet..''  
  
Dude, I consider Napoleon as a poor grand strategist; he was an outstanding tactician, and great operational strategist, but a poor grand strategist, kind of like U.S. military/politicians today.     
  
Here are the two big mistakes he should not have made, and I would not have made.  
  
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_System  
  
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peninsular_War  
  
It is obvious U.S. has been playing 'Napoleon' since the end of the Cold War.     
  
''...and ROK will have an answer to that (because in the magical make believe world of Hyokkim the ROK will always win because thats his favorite "sportsball team")''  
  
No, I was worried for a while because that scumbag, Yoon snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.     But thankfully, the electorate in ROK had the courage to bring him, and his cronies down.   Had Yoon stayed till the end of his term, and one or more of his cronies won the POROK, ROK would have been in big trouble.   But the electorate in ROK did not disappoint, unlike the electorate in U.S.   
  
''If you actually 'loved' your people you would stop making these 'grandiose' statements, and try to show people how valuable the Korean people and culture are, ....''  
  
I didn't always 'love' Koreans, till about less than 10 years ago.   I was trying to see how some of their claim staked up by doing some research, and then I was blown away, not only their claim was true, but far better than I expected!   All this research was done in English.   But this stoked my interest further, so I started doing research in Korean, and I was floored.

The LAMD intercept system... Not Built  
The nanosattelite detection network... not operational  
The Hycore hypersonic ramjet.... not deployed  
"The worlds best turbofan"...  'maybe' by 2035  
The neutron warhead ICBM interceptor in space... doesn't exist anywhere on the planet in any form.  
  
And this is from someone who constantly whines about the F-35 for being "overpromised" (thats how sales works...) and "underdelievered"... F-35 actually 'exists'... you can go look at one, I used the simulators when I was a kid in 1999.. you're describing a pipeline of 'theoretical' superweapons that will surely work 'exactly' as advertised and will definitely be ready on time and will most assuredly solve a problem that is fundamentally 'mathematical' NOT 'technological'...  
  
Because what you keep ignoring here... is Iran launch 'maybe' 180 'ballistic' missiles at the MOST protected airspace on planet Earth with 'multiple'  allied nations helping to intercept them... and missiles 'still' got through... and ALL were interceptable in 'theory' (that realm you exist in)... Every single one on a ballistic trajectory.  
  
North Korean artillery shells don't... they're smaller faster flatter and there is NO systems on earth designed to intercept them at that scale... NOT ONE... not even on the drawing board... so the "arguement" that ROK's imaginery intercept system will handle the "majority" of incoming fire... is  laughable... its not even part of the equation... those shells are arriving... ROK's ONLY ANSWER IS COUNTER BATTERY.  
  
And counter battery would 'require' the guns to fire first... those crews know that... thats the doctrine... they're expected to fire four or five rounds and die... the rounds are already in the air before counter battery even has the solution dialed in... you DO NOT "intercept" your way out of an opening salvo you just absorb it and respond... and the 'PEOPLE' absorbing it are in Seoul...(not sitting here in America living off of Americas teat) you just scored on yourself there... the West Point article you're using to dismiss the casualty figures is literally arguing for South Korea to take the threat MORE seriously... not less... reading "not 5 million" and stopping there isn't analysis that's cherry picking...  
  
Then there's the KMPR... the idea that you can simultaneously intercept a MILLION rounds of artillery while also managing a Nuclear threat AND executing a perfectly coordinated decapitation strike against the regime that has spent seventy years building out redundant underground bunkers 'specifically' to survive this EXACT scenario... all at the same time... in the opening hours of a conflict... is 'not' a wargame that's a fantasy...  
  
The nanosatellite network that will magically locate every piece the moment they fire... not operational.. the AI system that will make interception nearly "perfect"...not operational... the counter battery system that will destroy virtually all offensive assets... being constantly "improved" which means...... NOT FINISHED  
  
But suuure ROK number one superpower  by 2050... from the country that 'right now' 'today' is in political crisis, has a 'declining' birth rate that is the lowest in the developed world, is functionally dependant upon the US security umbrella, and shares a border with a nuclear armed state that has explicitly stated its intentions to use those weapons... the road to number one superpower runs directly through all of that... (because "it was true in my mind" Hyokkim 2016-2026)   
  
And someone says "I pray to God this remains theoretical" out of genuine 'human' concern for MILLIONS of lives.. someone expresses genuine horror about millions of lives and your response is a lecture about predestination... just sit with what that says about you for a minute...... And then your admission that you didn't always love Koreans until about  ten years ago... that you "did some research and was blown away"... that's not patriotism that's not heritage that's not even genuine cultural connection.. That's someone who found something in their fifties that made his world feel "meaningful" and built an entire Identity around it. FIFTY TWO MILLION 'REAL' PEOPLE live under that threat  every single day...  they're not pieces on a board... they're not proof of a "thesis"... and then theres (you) sitting back sucking from Americas teat making wind about "acceptable casualty" figures... and 'theoretical' 'superweapons' aren't doing it from Seoul..."number one superpower by 2050", you won't even move back.

Among the 168 Korean award-winning companies, small and medium-sized enterprises accounted for 137, representing more than 80%. Of the companies supported by KOTRA, 49 won a total of 54 awards. As this year's CES is expected to focus on 'Physical AI' and 'AI agents', it is especially significant that Korean companies won all three Best of Innovation Awards in the AI category. Korean companies also accounted for the highest share of Innovation Awards, with 28 honors.''

''But suuure ROK number one superpower by 2050... from the country that 'right now' 'today' is in political crisis,....''

https://www.christenseninstitute.org/blog/how-south-korea-became-the-most-innovative-country-in-the-world/

....and unlike U.S. ROK is going to put Yoon, and his cronies in prison, just like ROK has put past corrupt POROKs in prison.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/ex-south-korean-leader-gets-170406421.html

How many corrupt POTUS has U.S. put in prison?

''has a 'declining' birth rate that is the lowest in the developed world,''

...but the highest in immigration growth rate from the most productive people in the world, unlike those garbage U.S. is importing from all the 3rd world shitholes with the connivance of POTUS no less, with no punishment for this 'treason'.

https://www.asiae.co.kr/en/article/2024111610202385145

Unlike U.S. ROK does not import garbage, most definitely does not subsidize them with welfare fraud scheme, at the expense of legal tax payers.

But U.S. does this because the majority of U.S. electorate are stupid, cowardly, and insane.

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/My3EYhMEieM

'' is functionally dependant upon the US security umbrella,...''

...and U.S. is not dependent on ROK in containing China? It goes both ways; U.S. does not care about DPRK, but China.

Besides, ROK wants to end the alliance with U.S asap so that ROK can do business with both Iran and Russia. Why ROK military developed k-link.

You see, K-link is not dependent on U.S. ROK miliary can still communicate/coordinate with U.S. but U.S. does not control k-link. U.S. cannot even drop on k-link like they could before with the previous military communication system.

ROK wants to be able to perform an independent military action without approval from U.S. Especially, regarding China, especially after/when she will implode soon enough, so that ROK can annex Manchuria, and build a hyper tube trade route through C.A. to Europe, without distraction from U.S.

Build alliance with Russia/Iran/C.A. nations, including Afghanistan, and all the non-Han ethnic minorities, within China. The sympathy for Iran is great within ROK; ROK does not want to get dragged into a war with Iran, and Russia as well.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_National_Youth_Association

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Shirts_Society#Description

Already some within ROK military channels are urging ROK should produce domestic jet engine asap, to be prepared to sell KF-21 to Iran, especially when the alliance with U.S. ends.

''and shares a border with a nuclear armed state that has explicitly stated its intentions to use those weapons... the road to number one superpower runs directly through all of that... ''

All the more reason for ROK to build alliance with Russia asap, so that DPRK and ROK either could unite or at least become allies in a new alliance of Russia/DPRK/ROK/even Japan.

Both DPRK/Russia do not trust China, and neither do both ROK/Japan. Russia has oil/gas; a pipeline could be built through DPRK to ROK, and to Japan. DPRK will collect tolls; this will make DPRK to 'behave' so that when ROK/Japanese/Russian economy prosper as the result of pipeline, DPRK also will prosper as well!

....and ROK could build hyper tube trade route through DPRK, through Russia, through either Manchuria (after ROK/DPRK annexes it after the implosion of China soon enough), through C.A. to Europe.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkHF6qozQGk

Again, DPRK could collect tolls, and this will benefit ROK/Japan/Russia/C.A./Iran/EU, and the rest of the world eventually.

But this can only come true when ROK builds a new alliance with Russia. U.S. is going to implode anyway no matter what ROK does.

''And then your admission that you didn't always love Koreans until about ten years ago...''

I didn't; I felt that there was nothing special about being a Korean, than being a Jew/Arab/German/American. I judge people based on individual worthiness/usefulness, not collective identity, based on superficial morphological trait.

''that you "did some research and was blown away"... that's not patriotism that's not heritage that's not even genuine cultural connection.. That's someone who found something in their fifties that made his world feel "meaningful" and built an entire Identity around it.''

I judge people based on their worthiness, not shallow affinity. I support worthy people anywhere, even 3rd world shitholes; I do not support worthless people no matter where they come from or are born.

''FIFTY TWO MILLION 'REAL' PEOPLE live under that threat every single day... they're not pieces on a board... they're not proof of a "thesis"... and then theres ''

They have been living under that threat; what's so special about it?

''(you) sitting back sucking from Americas teat making wind about "acceptable casualty" figures... ''

A few hundreds to a few thousands is not acceptable casualty figures? What are acceptable casualty figures?

''and 'theoretical' 'superweapons' aren't doing it from Seoul..."

They are real superweapons, either finished, or in development; are you implying ROK should not even try to build them? What do you suggest ROK should then?

''number one superpower by 2050", you won't even move back.''

Yes, #1 Superpower by 2050.

https://www.asiae.co.kr/en/article/2025113010025043774

https://www.christenseninstitute.org/blog/how-south-korea-became-the-most-innovative-country-in-the-world/

Besides, I am too old to start over in ROK; just like Matt had said, the smartest people in ROK don't want to move to U.S. anymore. They make more money in ROK than in U.S.

NVIDIA founder/CEO, the biggest company involved in A.I. directly chose ROK as 'The Supplier', instead of choosing a U.S. company.

https://biz.chosun.com/en/en-industry/2025/10/31/HC4F7GX4VVG4NGNL2TCZMZEI7Y/

A.I. is the next industrial revolution; ROK is going to be the king/champion of A.I.

U.S. will implode by 2050; I want to create the foundation for U.S. 2.0 for the worthy/useful people in U.S. after the most worthless/useless people perish during and after the implosion, the greatest civilization in the history of mankind, not based on 'feel good fiction', but the truth based on facts.

''The LAMD intercept system... Not Built''  
  
Operational by 28.  
  
''The nanosattelite detection network... not operational''  
  
Soon enough.  
  
https://biz.chosun.com/en/en-science/2025/04/02/P5NIQ6GA5RD7DEDXOAY3CHOQMI/  
  
It's going to be far more accurate than GPS, and faster than in detecting DPRK missile/artillery bases.  
  
''The Hycore hypersonic ramjet.... not deployed''  
  
Soon enough.     
  
https://www.armyrecognition.com/news/navy-news/2026/south-korea-reveals-air-launched-anti-ship-hypersonic-missile-after-land-based-hycore-launch

''The worlds best turbofan"... 'maybe' by 2035''  
  
Btw. ROK didn't do this alone; UK helped as well.   Without UK help, ROK still would have accomplished it by 40, but RAF/RN are not happy with U.S. for denying UK access to F-35 maintenance program, ripping off UK so that LM can make more money.   Trump does not want MIC to rip off U.S. taxpayers, but he's ok with MIC ripping off other countries, even allies like U.K.   So, UK decided to get back at U.S. by helping ROKAF develop its own turbofan jet engine.  
  
https://warontherocks.com/2021/06/as-allies-design-fighter-aircraft-the-united-states-faces-a-decision/  
  
''The neutron warhead ICBM interceptor in space... doesn't exist anywhere on the planet in any form.''  
  
Not true.  
  
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_bomb#Use_against_ballistic_missiles  
  
Furthermore even if just because it doesn't exist today, it doesn't necessarily follow it will not exist tomorrow.  It is a very plausible concept.  ROKAF is working on pibots, and working on KF-21 with boosters that can make it into a suborbital fighter/interceptor.     
  
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvOpSiGuMXU  
  
You see, with a pibot, there will be no need for expensive, heavy, cumbersome life-support system.   Trained human pilots are not easily replaceable.     This will allow ROKAF to turn KF-21 with a pibot into a suborbital fighter on a dime, and 'launch' compact neutron warhead ABMs into the predicted orbital path of oncoming enemy ICBMs/SLBMs, with the blast from neutron warhead creating a far more effective destruction/neutralization zone for the enemy ICBMs/SLBMs than possible from conventional warhead (or nuclear or just kinetic).     
  
''And this is from someone who constantly whines about the F-35 for being "overpromised" (thats how sales works...) and "underdelievered"... F-35 actually 'exists'... you can go look at one, I used the simulators when I was a kid in 1999.. you're describing a pipeline of 'theoretical' superweapons that will surely work 'exactly' as advertised and will definitely be ready on time and will most assuredly solve a problem that is fundamentally 'mathematical' NOT 'technological'...''  
  
It was, and it is a failure based on what it was promised.  
  
https://ronpaulinstitute.org/f-35-boondoggle-more-military-spending-is-not-more-security/  
  
''Because what you keep ignoring here... is Iran launch 'maybe' 180 'ballistic' missiles at the MOST protected airspace on planet Earth with 'multiple' allied nations helping to intercept them... and missiles 'still' got through... and ALL were interceptable in 'theory' (that realm you exist in)... Every single one on a ballistic trajectory.''  
  
Not true; Israel had offered Iron Dome, and ROKA rejected it as not good enough.  Everyone had thought Iron Dome was effective enough; ROKA disagreed and was vindicated.  
  
''The new ground-based missile defense system is designed to protect critical national and military facilities in the Seoul metropolitan area from North Korea’s long-range artillery.

DAPA stated that the system is being designed to engage a larger number of targets simultaneously compared to Israel’s Iron Dome system, which has been used to intercept short-range rockets during Israel's conflicts with Hamas.

According to DAPA, the ADD plans to leverage its expertise in systems integration, fire control and precision detection and tracking technologies developed during previous air defense missile system projects.''  
  
Of course, ROK's use of its expertise in A.I. would be a great force multiplier.  
  
https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10402900  
  
''North Korean artillery shells don't... they're smaller faster flatter and there is NO systems on earth designed to intercept them at that scale... NOT ONE... not even on the drawing board... so the "arguement" that ROK's imaginery intercept system will handle the "majority" of incoming fire... is laughable... its not even part of the equation... those shells are arriving... ROK's ONLY ANSWER IS COUNTER BATTERY.''  
  
Not true.  
  
https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10402900  
  
''And counter battery would 'require' the guns to fire first...''  
  
What would stop the enemy artillery first without counter battery?  
  
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-battery_fire

Not true.  
  
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoot-and-scoot  
  
  
''the rounds are already in the air before counter battery even has the solution dialed in...''  
  
Dude, counter battery almost always requires the enemy shells to land in your area so that they can calculate the approximate enemy artillery location by 'reverse' calculating the ballistic trajectory.    You don't even know that!?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-battery_fire#CB_intelligence  
  
''you DO NOT "intercept" your way out of an opening salvo you just absorb it and respond..''  
  
What would you suggest then?   Not respon, no counter battery?   What then?  
  
''...and the 'PEOPLE' absorbing it are in Seoul...(not sitting here in America living off of Americas teat)''  
  
Doing nothing, no counter battery will help?  How?  How to end the enemy artillery barrage asap after they started it?  
  
'' you just scored on yourself there... the West Point article you're using to dismiss the casualty figures is literally arguing for South Korea to take the threat MORE seriously... not less... reading "not 5 million" and stopping there isn't analysis that's cherry picking...''  
  
No, you did, either you had no idea of what you were talking about, or you were lying through your teeth, which was it?  
  
''while its greatest threat is a country with the GDP of Birmingham, Alabama that could wipe out 5 million people in the opening round'' - turkey

'' The estimated casualties that North Korean artillery could inflict on South Korea range from approximately 4,500 to over 200,000, depending on the scale and duration of the bombardment. Pyongyang has leveraged Seoul’s apparent vulnerability through brinkmanship diplomacy, extracting concessions by threatening artillery strikes on the south'' - Hyok Kim in response  
  
https://mwi.westpoint.edu/why-north-koreas-artillery-threat-should-not-be-exaggerated/  
  
Not even close to what you had said.  Dude, how old are you?  You obviously have no idea of what you are talking about.    
  
''Then there's the KMPR... the idea that you can simultaneously intercept a MILLION rounds of artillery while also managing a Nuclear threat AND executing a perfectly coordinated decapitation strike against the regime that has spent seventy years building out redundant underground bunkers 'specifically' to survive this EXACT scenario... all at the same time... in the opening hours of a conflict... is 'not' a wargame that's a fantasy...''  
  
Again, you have no idea of what you are talking about:  
  
''Kim also highlights the poor accuracy and high dud rate of North Korea’s artillery. During the 2010 Yeonpyeong bombardment, North Korea fired 400 rounds, yet only 80 reached their targets, while 320 fell into the sea. Of the 80 that hit their targets, 20 failed to detonate.''  
  
https://asiatimes.com/2025/02/s-koreas-new-missile-both-bunker-buster-and-nuclear-hedge/  
  
......based on projecting on the hard real data, not empty speculation like yours, this would be far more accurate assessment.  
  
''From that, Kim estimates that in a full-scale attack on Seoul, North Korea’s 170-millimeter guns could fire 100 shells, while its 240-millimeter MRLs could fire 4,400 rockets, but only 48 shells and 1,840 rockets would reach the city.

Given Seoul’s vast urban sprawl, the prevalence of reinforced concrete structures and the high dud rate of North Korean munitions, he argues that the damage inflicted by such an attack would be considerably lower than worst-case projections suggest.''     
  
https://asiatimes.com/2025/02/s-koreas-new-missile-both-bunker-buster-and-nuclear-hedge/  
  
The total damage in human casualties would be far less than even the west point worst case scenario, a few hundreds to a few thousands, not the end of the world.   Certainly, nothing like 5 million like you had said.  
  
Again, how old are you, kid or a teenage drama king?  
  
''The nanosatellite network that will magically locate every piece the moment they fire... not operational.. the AI system that will make interception nearly "perfect"...not operational... the counter battery system that will destroy virtually all offensive assets... being constantly "improved" which means...... NOT FINISHED''
