The most dangerous would be the mig 29 and mig 25 but then again north Korea probably doesn't have the jet fuel to provide adequate training and its probably very difficult to obtain spare parts because of sanctions and its relations with China are getting worse so they get almost no help

But enough to send a nuke at their enemy if needed...even in a suicide attempt.

They would probably cease to exist if that happens and they have to worry about internal rebellion

Internal rebellion? I doubt it...when it comes to war the DPRK will throw everything at their enemy and do whatever it takes to survive.

Are you 100% sure are just speculating? If the North Korean war equipment are that old, how come the South Korea and the US can't finish them off now and end the war?

Us and s Korea don't want the flood of refugees that is also why China has been keeping up with the trading because they don't want total collapse

But doesn't the South Koreans wants a united Korean peninsula? Can't keep this charade forever.

 

[The Philosopher]

Yes but they want north Koreas economy to be better so that south Korea doesn't have to support the entire population of the north

There is a catch 22. North Korea is military first, so a better economic situation for them would mean a better equipped military. The military will always be one step ahead in terms of the resources share that they get. So if South really wants reunification they will have to bite the bullet and unify with a poor NK. In any case a war will destroy economy of both Korea, irrespective of how rich they were before.

And that is assuming that China, USA, and lesser extent Russia and Japan don't have their own plans.
