How long could South Korea hold up against North Korea in a war?

A couple months? A few days? Would it be a repeat of '75?

Closer to the opposite desu

Pretty sure right pic is actually ROK dudes

assuming no China involvement SK would take a few artillery barrages before utterly steamrolling NK because the norks wouldn't be able to wage an air or sea campaign and would get carpet bombed and blown the fuck out back to the Goguryeo dynasty due to mass desertion and surrender

SK also has the ability to bombard the north from the sea because NK's navy is a fucking joke, not to mention the severe lack of gasoline NK already has, they wouldn't be able to run their tanks after a week without outside involvement which would drag in the US and others into it

it wouldn't surprise me at all if SK would launch a successful decapitation raid and kill Jong-un before the actual land campaign is even rolling too, in which case the north would completely collapse

Any claims you see from the South Korean military claiming that the North is a serious threat and that they could take the country in days is angling for a funding increase. There is no realistic way for the North to win any war.

just litter the streets w/burgers N fries, it would halt any advance

>repeat of 75
If you mean the part where both the US and China get involved and a possible statlemate happens, probably.

In a fair, one-on-one fight? NK would shell Seoul (it's so close to the border) with all they have and at this point they might as well try and nuke it as well. SK steamrolls NK in the coming weeks while juggling an absolutely massive evacuation of Seoul. The following decades involve trying to rebuilt Seoul and placing actual infrastructure into the desolate North.

Technically, the war did not stop. They are still at war. If the war suddenly turns hot, like what almost happened a few years ago, I'd say it'd be a guerilla warfare kind of fighting. After North Korea uses its MLRS to shell any city within range and any tank battalion going into North Korean territory.

North Korea expert Brian Reynolds Myers says South Koreans consider North Korea to be more legitimate and will turn against the US if a war breaks out.

You're an idiot.

Proofs?

your a bigger idiot

North Korea can never truly win a war against South Korea. The best they can hope for is the South Korean Economy collapsing after they defeating and subsequently attempting to rebuild the North into something resembling a developed nation.

Real life isn’t like your cowadoody video games where North Korea stands a chance you dumb nigger

I think its just a waiting game for now.

Nork here, can confirm

why does anyone, still think North Korea would stand any chance, at all versus south korea. Outside a repeat of china saving North Korea's ass.

It would be a fucking slaughter. The technological advantage and equipment is so extreme that it would basically be Space-Wizards v Volkssturm.

Note: The north doesnt even have a major manpower advantage as the South has extremely deep reserves (4 million).

That's the only inevitable outcome of a SK/NK war. The US will invariably hop in with SK, and China will invariably join in with NK, since China doesn't want a solid land border with a go-to US ally. Nobody else with a land border with China can be relied on to support the US if shit were to go down, save for SK.

>The technological advantage and equipment is so extreme

Yeah, on the side of North Koreans.

Im pretty sure China doesn't want war with US and NATO more than that. Especially when they don't have the USSR to back em up if shit goes south. Considering any war on the peninsula will almost be guaranteed to be started by the North, China is seriously risking pissing off the international community by belping the norks. In addition, the fact that the norks have been distancing themselves from the Chinese the past few years, might make the Chinese just cut their losses if they start some stupid shit. Also noone will probably be willing to help China and the norks either, not even Vietnam. Russia will sit back and enjoy watching its two biggest rivals bleed each other, though they'll probably cross their fingers that the Chinese lose.

North Korea
Advantages
>extreme militarization, nearly every civilian can and will be armed making invasion hard
>hardy brainwashed population, little difference to their lives in war
>potentially crushing cyberwarfare and intelligence network
>Chinese will get involved regardless of what they say
>gigantic dmz artillery, likely with NBC warheads that could level Seoul and many local SK military installations crushing the SK economy and public unity
>has framed the US as their enemy, many in SK will support NK against US who they will blame for war
>competent special forces that may fight western counterparts on equal footing
>unknown elements
>terrain, fortification, and weather advantage if defending

Disadvantages
>all technology(armor, air, anti-air) a complete joke they barely have the logistics to use, need to stockpile oil from trade
>average soldier significantly worse than their opponents, especially if employed as if this isn't the case
>likely interfactionism and civil war
>blowback from nbc weapons
>huge desertion of civilians
>immediate famines, people will basically have to fend for themselves

In short, I think they can beat South Korea but only if they're aware of appropriate strategies to have in doing so. They need to frame the war as against the US, destroy Seoul and military establishments on the DMZ with nbc artillery, employ their military as asymmetrical fighters, hold what little tech they have in reserve, and win geopolitically and diplomatically with Chinese/Russian involvement and sparking Vietnam-ish sentiment in the US with propaganda. With a destroyed SK economy(we globalism now, despite having industry not on the border lack of foreign investment and trust would tank them domestically), hampered installations, US involvement limited to CIA and spec ops - I think they have a 40% win 60% lose chance at best.

During the last kerfuffle on the peninsula, the Chinese clarified that they wouldn't be involving themselves if the Norks were the aggressors.

You think they'd do the same as last time and send volunteers. What Russia did to Ukraine shows that shadow forces are still alive and well. We could see Nork "militias" participate.
