Somehow, I don’t think the symbolism of sakura is a particularly good choice for thematic warplane paint. Kinda harkens back to those long-lost days in the Pacific…

The problem with that over optimistic map is that everything in north Korea is underground, except the radar antennas, which are on elevators which raise them above ground.

Just so there is no confusion on this part, the two F-16s in the upper-right hand corner ar clearly marked (in Korean) “U.S. Air Force.” So, in fact, all the air assets are American, although the MLRS at the bottom are marked “Korea-U.S. MLRS missiles.”

Oh, and as for those F-15Ks, they’ve yet to go operational, although you can look at pictures of the first two being manufactured wherever Boeing puts them together here (via Yu Yong-won’s Military World). You can also visit the F-15K’s official homepage with Boeing here.

I noticed that too, about all the strike assets going up North being US ones. I can’t read Korean; however, I suppose the two aircraft in the upper right hand corner could be F16’s, which I gather are part of the ROK Air Force as well as the USAF.

http://www.globalsecurity.org/...../kf-16.htm (note: this is a somewhat confusing and rather poorly written link).

Or they could be T-50’s or A-50’s, which evidently are ROK-produced fighters, but which (to my layman’s eyes) appear similar to the F16 (produced in conjunction with Lockheed Martin so this isn’t surprising).
http://www.globalsecurity.org/.....k/t-50.htm

The ROK is in the process of purchasing some US F-15 models, which have extensive long-range deep attack capability. Don’t know if these are operational yet. http://www.globalsecurity.org/.....fx-rok.htm

Let’s hope a potential North Korean attack isn’t (hypothetically) coordinated with a Chinese one on Taiwan and a blowup in the Middle East, so that the ROK confidence demonstrated in this picture (i.e, that all these assets will be there for them when needed) isn’t disappointed. Such occurrences elsewhere in the world, simultaneous with another 9-11 type event in the US, might strain even the capabilities of the all-powerful and all-benevolent Uncle Sam.

What’s next, Hello Kitty on JASDF’s F-2s? That’ll send shivers down the spines of Chinese Su-27 pilots.

Love the graphic on taking out Nork artillery. I notice that almost all the assets are U.S. (maybe some 155s and radar being Korean). And I’m sure two carrier battle groups from 7th Fleet would just be waiting off the coasts when the balloon went up. What about Korea’s F-16s, F-4s and F-5s? Do they have no part in this drama? Let our big brother do the fighting in he beginning?

Woops, my bad. 2~3 days. Correction made.

Thanks.
