Unlike Iraq (most of whom were not regular soldiers), North Korea does have a completely modern army. China has, by the way, stated that they will defend North Korea, if it is attacked by the US:

This really is not the case. Their armored forces and air force both field weapons systems that are largely forty or more years out of date -- T-55s, and a couple of locally-developed variants on the T-62 chassis, MiG-21s and-23/27s reinforced by a smattering of MiG 29s (about 40, if I recall correctly).
DPRK forces are in no sense of the term "completely modern".
