More Information on the North Korean Army

Hi,
Here's an interesting site that gives a good overview of the approximate strength and capabilities of the North Korean army. It describes how North Korea is upgrading its dated weaponry and also predicts how North Korea would conduct an invasion of the South. I had thought that the strength of the North Korean army lay primarily in the numbers but this site contends that the North Korean army is steadily becoming more advanced and capable. Apparently, North Korea has one the largest contingents of Special Forces of any country, with somewhere between 60,000 and 100,000 soldiers. When you go the link, click on the "The Army" link and then read from there to the end of the article. Anyway, check it out if you are interested:
