I think our advanced systems could detect their dated SAMs pretty easily, but I also work in a field that depends on Murphy's Law in order to stay in business.

Anything is possible, never underestimate enemies capabilities. Yugoslav air defenses found that they could detect F-117s with their “obsolete” Soviet radars operating on long wavelengths. And they shot down an F-117.

This is how the F-117A was shot down in Serbia by a SA-3 (S-75) Goa SAM in 1999 | - Defence...

One F-117 has been lost in combat, to Serbian/Yugoslav forces. On March 27, 1999, during the Kosovo War, the 3rd Battalion of the 250th Missile Brigade under the command of Colonel Zoltán Dani, equipped with the Isayev S-125 'Neva-M' (NATO designation SA-3 'Goa'), downed F-117A serial number 82-806 with a Neva-M missile.

What North Koreans Think of America [Full] | ASIAN BOSS

In this extended cut, North Koreans share their honest thoughts on America and Americans. Pil-Ju (striped shirt) is working for an non-profit organization th...

MSgt (Join to see) It isn't about underestimating Lil' Kim and his regime. The question taken at face value is ridiculous because if we were to go to war with DPRK, there would be losses. It is a matter of us having the capability of leveling that entire country if we should so choose. The real issue with DPRK is that they are indoctrinated from an early age that we as Americans WANT to kill North Koreans. Any North Koreans. All North Koreans. It will take effort to overcome that indoctrination.

PO3 Steven Sherrill My old neighbors had a couple of chihuahuas. They would act all big and bad from their side of the chain link fence. The second I turned to look at them they took off running for their back door.

SSG (Join to see) - Yes, but if we dropped cats to the starving people of North Korea, they would think it to be a food drop and simply eat them. That video is hilarious. We have a puggle who bothers our cat, the cat bats her in the nose one time, and she reacts like this dog does, then comes running for sympathy. The cat meanwhile looks at me with an expression of "and you call me a stupid cat?"

Hell yes, the key word is "Could". You "could " kill a tank or shoot down a missile with a rifle if you had just the rite shot, from just the rite angle, at just the rite distance but how often does fate smile on someone that they get 'er done.
