☆ Submarines, nuclear drones: Why is North Korea developing its navy?
  + stars: | 2023-09-08 | by ( Josh Smith | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
North Korea's navy has historically been dwarfed by the country's land forces, and overshadowed by its rapidly advancing ballistic missile program. Here is what we know about North Korea's navy and its latest advancements. HOW BIG IS NORTH KOREA'S NAVY? "The North Korean Naval Force possesses the capacity to carry out a surprise attack any time," the paper said. In March and April North Korea tested what it said was a nuclear-capable unmanned underwater attack weapon.

Russia has ramped up its trained dolphin force that protects its Black Sea fleet, UK intelligence said. Russia has been training dolphins in the Black Sea since the Cold War, according to the United States Naval Institute. The MOD also noted Russia's documented use of marine animals elsewhere, saying "Russia has trained animals for a range of missions." Russia's Black Sea fleet includes attack submarines and vessels with long-range strike capabilities and air defense missiles. Russia accused Ukraine of launching drone attacks on the fleet earlier this month, after Ukraine started its long-awaited counteroffensive.

☆ As North Korea flexes its military muscles, some of South Korea's best submarines may be sidelined
  + stars: | 2022-11-03 | by ( Michael Peck | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Nine of South Korea's submarines have defects that could sideline them for extended periods. The issue comes to light as North Korea launches scores of missiles in shows of force to its neighbors. South Korea's sub woes come as North Korea continues to issue threats over joint US-South Korean military exercises that Pyongyang claims are a rehearsal for an invasion. Aircraft in particular would be key to destroying North Korean nuclear sites, artillery emplacements, and even decapitation strikes against the North's leaders. Superior US and South Korean naval capabilities — perhaps assisted by Japanese forces — allow for amphibious landings, special-forces raids, blockades, and shore bombardment.
