North Korea Preps Hovercraft Assault Force

" the cash-strapped North Korean military is building a customized base for huge
numbers of assault hovercraft, around 50 miles from a vulnerable South Korean
island chain."

"The new base, in the Koampo area of Hwanghae province on Korea’s west
coast, can accommodate up to 70 of North Korea’s estimated 130 Kongbang-class
hovercraft, armed with guns and together capable of carrying more than 2,000
soldiers. From Koampo, it’s just an hourlong ride — at hovercraft speeds — to the
West Islands.

Pyongyang allegedly has a plan for conquering the islands. The idea? “To shell
the islands with coastal artillery on a moonless night, render South Korean
soldiers at military bases on the islands helpless, then take over the territory with
soldiers landing on hovercrafts,” a source told South Korea’s JoongAng Daily."

The Norks just don't know when to quit. $#^% like this just might start the next
(and last) Korean War.
