Kim Jong-il builds ‘Thunderbirds’ runway for war in North Korea

Posted by Matt in April 27th, 2008

An airbase inside a mountain is the latest sign that North Korea, whose links to Syria’s nuclear programme came to light last week, is cranking up its military machine

North Korean military engineers are completing an underground runway beneath a mountain that can protect fighter aircraft from attack until they take off at high speed through the mouth of a tunnel.

The 6,000ft runway is a few minutes’ flying time from the tense front line where the Korean People’s Army faces soldiers from the United States and South Korea.

The project was identified by an air force defector from North Korea and captured on a satellite image by Google Earth, according to reports in the South Korean press last week.

With nearly 1.2 million soldiers, the secretive Communist state has one of the largest standing armies in the world, but many conscripts were put to festive use in this massive display in the capital, Pyongyang. But the crippled economy has left the military short of food for its soldiers as well as lacking fuel and parts for its tanks, planes and ships

55th anniversary of North Korea - Military parade
A massive North Korean military band performing at the "55th anniversary of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea" in Pyongyang, September 9, 2003. Not the easiest thing to find on the internet. Its a shame the TV broadcast commentary interrupts half way through.

70th anniversary of the North Korean army - Military Parade
North Korean military band performing at the "90th birthday of late Kim Il-sung and the 70th anniversary of the founding of Korean People's Army" North Korean Military Parade Pyongyang, April 25, 2002 Well, more militia then regular army parade. Since it was a TV broadcast, commentary overlaps the footage partially. P.S - Just to clear things up about the Korean Peoples Army being 70 years old (at the time of this parade) despite the fact the DPRK came into existence after World War II. A propaganda quote on the 25/4/2002 from the Korean Central News Agency of the DPRK's English website: "KPA, revolutionary armed forces Pyongyang, April 25 (KCNA) -- Today marks the 70th anniversary of the Korean People's Army. On the occasion all the officers and men of the people's army and...

Here's something you don't see every day. This is a mashup of adorable propaganda videos I found via URL hacking on the web site of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in November 2004. These videos were removed from the site (perhaps, I speculate, because of the translation errors in the narration, particularly involving Kim Jong-Il's title). You can see plenty of Soviet and Chinese cultural and politcal influence, overlaid on Korea's basically conservative, Confucian, authoritarian mind-set. Transcript: "... independent, self supporting and self reliant and national defense. The parading units start marching across the square amid resounding cheers. Columns from military schools of different levels are marching proudly, demonstrating the vitality of the party's line of making...

Flashpoint - North Korea
Mar 2003 North Korea one of the world's great weapons proliferators. Yet the world has not treated it as the greatest threat. Just 12 km away from the North Korean border, the US army prepares for an attack. Colonel Patton is in charge of the training: "We train in all types of conditions because we have to be ready to fight tonight." The North Korean army has more than 1 million men prepared to fight until the bitter end, with thousands of chemical missiles trained on Seoul and 37,000 Americans on border. However many South Koreans believe it is America that poses the greatest threat to peace for the region. Ha Sang Nam is waiting to be re-united with her brother who has been stranded in the North for 50 years. "I just hope there will be no more wars. We are separated because of the...

Training the North Korean People's Army
The rigid discipline and harsh training that comes with joining the People's Army of North Korea, as well as displays of some of their arsenal of weaponry. See what makes them march in front of Kim Jong Il with such pride! (ADDED NOTE: Comments from Armchair Generals who have been playing too much online Warhammer/Civ/World of Warcraft etc. and seem to think that therefore gives them the knowledge of McArthur, Zhukov, Rommel, Montgomery et al will generally be deleted as nonsense!)

Korean man-power troops claim they can defeat USA
North Korean military forces consist of man-power, besides, they really think they are stronger than any other countries, such as USA, Japan, and so on. North Korea is equal in absurdness and childishness to South Korea.
