taeyonpyong was full of ruins after the Korean artillery

Nov. 25 Xinhua South Korea, “Central Daily” reported that North and South Korea artillery battle occurred on November 23 in North Korea fired artillery shells on the island when Hanguo Yan Ping, 13 minutes after the South Korean army fired 80 rounds to fight back. South Korea is being blamed for this expansion. Media said Han Jun is with the four K-9 self-propelled guns to fight back, this “slack” response by the South Korean situation blamed Congress and the general reserve.

“Central Daily” on the South Korean National Assembly members of political parties deal with North Korea on the Han Jun shelling raised four issues were summarized, South Korean Defense Minister Kim tae 11 to make answer. All in all, the ROK Defense Ministry will make a deal with North Korea accused the shelling that the overall response was disappointing Jun Han.

one, why 13 minutes late?

November 24, according to congressional defense committee of the South Korean Defense Ministry report material, the Korean local time at 14:34 on November 23 -46 min to 122 mm and 76 mm guns radiation coast artillery shells fired more than 150 (first round), then from 30 minutes after the 15:12 start, in 7 minutes and follow-up more than 20 rounds fired. But South Korean troops fired artillery shells at the first 13 minutes North Korea only after the corresponding shot.

reported that the Liberal Party, Shim advanced in defense committee meeting that: “Do not respond to the raid (troops) to start it?” Defense Minister Kim tae have explained: “Because when the bombs fall forces should first avoid, and only well-trained troops can do in 13 minutes. “K-9 gun was shooting practice for the conduct of the muzzle moving towards the southwest, so the preparation is bound to take time. Kim tae said: “It is difficult to shoot when shells fall. Not like playing ‘StarCraft’ so easy.”

South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff operational planning minister Tun Shin Hyun (Major General) explained that “In the artillery positions firing systems, in order to protect the lives of soldiers, hid in when the bombs fall below the concrete roof to escape, when the situation stabilized during the shooting, which is the basic,” “in (North Korea), after the shooting stopped one minute immediately counterattack, but you can see how our sailors brave. ”

In addition, to attack 15 kilometers from the coast artillery base of Korean fighting only K-9 self-propelled guns, which is also been blamed. Grand National Party, with Chan in the pre-decision with the Committee on the accused: “The six coastal artillery in an already failed, and another door for barrel break, only four carried out the attack.” Which Kim tae admitted: “There are many incomplete areas, I am very sorry now repaired, not the exception.”

Second, why are they only fired 80 of multiple?

reported that the South Korean armed forces do not respond to shooting and shelling Korea (170 rounds) of the half, in violation of military rules of engagement on “those principles,” and also was the object of blame. Grand National Party lawmaker in the National Defense Committee in Liu Cheng Min Wong asked: “Secretary of Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman said that if North Korea fired the usual our counter to reach its 2 to 3 times, why this is not to one?”

Kim tae said: “It was just confirmed the shells falling to the army, did not confirm the shells falling to the people at home, according to the soldiers (commander) shells fired twice to launch the command “” It is confirmed that North Korea has fired 90 artillery shells fell into the sea made. “Joint Chiefs of Staff operational planning minister Tun Shin Hyun said:” The field commander is fighting with feeling and insight to evaluate the decision (to double so) response level. “

In this regard, the former Marine Corps Major General Bae phase matrix (sound), said:” North Korea will watch how the defense posture of our military, “” should launch at least 170 to 180 hair ” .

three, F-15 do go?

reported that North Korea November 23 Yin Ping Island shelling, the South Korean military did not carry out air strikes, one of which is the object of blame. Grand National Party lawmaker Kim Jang-soo, 24 November at the National Defense Committee, pointed out: “North Korea during the second round of shooting when the aircraft should be used to retaliate.”

In fact, it was reported on November 23 Japanese Korean shelling started within 4 minutes, four F-15K and two KF-16 and other Air Force fighters were the main attack, but no air-gun attacks aimed at the coast. Although the two F-15K is equipped with 250 km of SLAM-ER-ground missiles, but did not attack on the back. This is because the rules of engagement. US-led United Nations Command in 1953 to develop rules of engagement, there are “in the attack on the other when the weapons system to be 2 times the response” restriction. This means that when the shelling by the artillery to fight back.

but reported that North Korea’s coast artillery hidden in caves in the cliffs, it is difficult to use ground forces shelling. The South Korean military to configure the Yin Ping Island K-9 self-propelled artillery was shelling response, but not targeted by the coast artillery, but the North Korean military camp. There is also criticism that, because the first round of attacks by only K-9 self-propelled artillery shelling of the camp, so it may be a second round of North Korean artillery, army and people led to greater damage. Defense Minister Kim tae this day in the defense committee, said: “the future will work closely with the United Nations Command, repair and improve the rules of engagement, so that later can be a strong blow.”

IV. Why is the “Jindo Dog 1″?

South Korean Defense Minister Kim tae November 24 in the Defense Committee in Parliament on whether it will enhance the preparation for the comprehensive defense posture against North Korea “Defcon (Defence Readiness Condition)” has been careful to answer: “Now as the case may also need to decide. “Joint Chiefs of Staff ordered the army the day before the” Jindo Dog 1 “, but not to” Defcon4 “upgraded” Defcon3 “. Prepare state and local provocation “Jindo Dog” different, Defcon enhance the USFK will be accompanied by formal operational control.

According to reports, “Jindo Dog” is invaded by armed provocation and similar local emergency alert commands, divided into three levels from 3 to 1. On the contrary, “Defcon” is the symbol of full-scale war defense posture, from 5 to 1 is divided into 5 levels. “Defcon5″ is usually, “Defcon4″ is to strengthen the state of alert. If North Korea has launched full-scale war signs, Defcon will be upgraded to three, the military ban on leave, to go out, when the operational command will be transferred to the ROK-US Combined Forces Command. Now usually in the South Korean military operational command, the wartime operational control exercised by the U.S. military. But once in the “Defcon3″, will be seen as a quasi-war, the joint commander to command operations.

military official said: “If North Korea continues to make provocative Yin Ping Island, South Korea, was promoted to Defcon 3, in fact, it means that Sharp will guide the operational commander of the joint.” Korea is very in improving Defcon caution seems to be because of this. When the soldiers gave the Defcon2 rounds of ammunition, military personnel will prepare a 10% increase. “Defcon1″, announced a mobilization order, enter the wartime state.
