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 Their armored forces and air force both field weapons systems that are largely forty or more years out of date -- T-55s, and a couple of locally-developed variants on the T-62 chassis, MiG-21s and-23/27s reinforced by a smattering of MiG 29s (about 40, if I recall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".

If we attack them, then China will defend, which means that they will attack Us.

It's a good thing I'm not advocating for attacking them then, don't you think?

I'm only speaking to military facts. I'm not advocating any policy. But since you seem willing to impute views on me, I'll clarify my position: I don't think we should attack DPRK.

However, if they attack us, the military facts will weigh in the balance. I only attempt here to insert those facts int this conversation. Their military strength looks decent if you look at raw numbers, but only a fool does that when measuring military strength.

They field a largely obsolete military and while they might force a big fight they will not come out ahead. And if they launch a first strike, will China defend them?
