Korean Sota Osa II ?

China’s air force recently staged drills involving various aircraft through “routes and areas it has never flown before” over the Yellow and East seas near the Korean peninsula.

Air force spokesman Shen Jinke made the announcement at an airport in northern China on Monday – the same day the United States and South Korea began their biggest joint air force exercise, and days after Pyongyang launched its most powerful intercontinental ballistic missile to date.

Without specifying the date or exact location of the drills, Shen said warplanes had ventured into unknown areas, adding that this kind of training would become a regular feature as the air force worked to strengthen its capabilities so that it was ready to safeguard China’s strategic interests.
The exercise involved aircraft including reconnaissance planes, fighter jets, an early warning and control aircraft, and a joint operation with surface-to-air missile units, he said.

Japan is preparing to acquire precision air-launched missiles that for the first time would give it the capability to strike North Korean missile sites, two sources with direct knowledge of the matter said.

Japan plans to put money aside in its next defense budget starting April to study whether its F-15 fighters could launch longer-range missiles including Lockheed Martin Corp’s extended-range Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM-ER), which can hit targets 1,000 km (620 miles) away, said one the sources with knowledge of the plan.

“There is a global trend for using longer range missiles and it is only natural that Japan would want to consider them,” he said. The sources asked to remain anonymous as they were not authorized to talk to media.

Japan is also interested in buying the 500 km-range Joint Strike Missile designed by Norway’s Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace to be carried by the F-35 stealth fighter, Fuji Television reported earlier.

A Chinese daily has advised people living in a province close to North Korea on how to survive a nuclear attack. In a full-page article, the state-run Jilin Daily explained to people of the northeastern province of Jilin how nuclear fallout is significantly different from the effects of a traditional war.

The paper's advice, amid growing anxiety in the region owing to North Korea's continued belligerence, is seen as significant and rare.

President Trump has been tightening the screw on North Korea, ramping up sanctions and urging other countries to sever trade links with Kim Jong Un's regime.

But dozens of countries have violated international sanctions on Pyongyang in recent years, according to a new report by a Washington-based think tank.

It highlights the scale of the challenge facing Trump as he tries to cut North Korea out of the global trading system as a way of pressuring it to abandon its nuclear weapons program.

A total of 49 countries violated United Nations sanctions on North Korea to varying degrees between March 2014 and September 2017, the Institute for Science and International Security said. That includes North Korea's top trading partner, China, as well as Germany, Brazil, India and France.

Thirteen of them, including Angola, Cuba, Mozambique, Tanzania, Iran, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Syria, have been linked with North Korea's military.

"In some cases, these mostly undemocratic regimes received military training from North Korea; in others, they received or exported military related equipment to or from North Korea," the report said.

The US ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, has cast doubt on American athletes’ participation in next year’s Winter Olympics in South Korea due to heightened tensions with North Korea.

When asked in aninterview on Fox News if US participation was a “done deal,” Haley said: “There’s an open question. I have not heard anything about that, but I do know in the talks that we have – whether it’s Jerusalem or North Korea – it’s about, how do we protect the US citizens in the area?”
Haley said the decision on whether to allow US athletes to travel to South Korea would “depend on what’s going on at the time in the country – we have to watch this closely and it’s changing by the day”.

She added that the US administration would “find a way” to ensure US athletes’ safety if they take part in the games, which open in Pyeongchang on 9 February.

RUSSIAN marines will conduct live fire drills and ground combat training in a region bordering North Korea.

Russian Defense Ministry said its drills in Kamchatka and Primorye, in the far-east of the country, follow exercises conducted last week which saw marines landing on the coastline.

It said around 1000 naval infantry from Russia’s Pacific Ocean Fleet will master land warfare vehicles during the drills.

Russia shares a 17km border with North Korea, not far from the training area.

Miksi naapurin harjoituksista ei ole porua?

Over the skies of South Korea Wednesday, dramatic photos showed an Air Force supersonic bomber with U.S. and allied fighter jets in formation.

But there were supposed to be two Air Force bombers flying together.

In another sign of the maintenance challenges facing the U.S. military after years of budget cuts, the Air Force B-1B bomber that flew to South Korea from Guam on Wednesday was forced to leave behind its wingman.

The second bomber reported a maintenance issue while taxiing to the runway for takeoff, according to an Air Force officer who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

“We only had a 30-minute launch window to meet the tanker,” while flying from Guam to South Korea the officer said.

The B-1B was taking part in the annual “Vigilant ACE” air exercises which included fifth-generation F-22 and F-35 stealth fighter jets for the first time. Overall, more than 230 aircraft between the United States and South Korea are taking part in the five-day exercise which concludes Friday.

Russia Is Aiding North Korea With Oil Imports, Ignoring U.S. Efforts To Isolate Kim Jong Un: Report

The price of fuel in North Korea has plummeted over the past month thanks to Russian oil imports, according to reports that suggest Russia is ignoring international efforts to isolate the rogue North Korean regime.

Journalists with the website Asia Press International, which is based in Osaka, Japan, and publishes in English, Japanese and Korean, reportedly said that fuel prices began to fall in November. The reports claimed that the price of diesel had fallen by 60 percent since early November, and the price of gasoline fell by around 25 percent.

The alleged decline in price comes despite U.S. pressure and United Nations Security Council resolutions aimed specifically at cutting off fuel to Kim Jong Un’s regime.

Todennäköisestihän siitä päätöksestä tullaan nokittamaan vaikka ei tulisi kuin lisää hankaluuksia.

Putinille urheilu on politiikkaa ja keino pönkittää omaa valtaa. Kuten muillakin vastaavilla hallinnoilla. Lisääkö tuo sitten taas hiukan lisää "Venäjän arvaamattomuutta".. ehkä ei, ehkä olen väärässä

Jos ryssät ovat kuskanneet öljyä PKoreaan, niin se on luultavasti alkanut ennen tuota KOK:n päätöstä. Ei tuota ihan noin vain polkaista käyntiin. Jos jenkit olisi havainneet sen tässä ajassa, niin ei ne julkaisisi tietoa ihan vielä.

Itse näkisin tuon ihan yksinkertaisesti bisneksenä noiden maiden välillä.

Merisaarto? P-Koreankaan kokoisen kansantalouden öljytuontia ei hoideta maantiekuljetuksilla Kiinasta tai Venäjältä. Saarron lopputulos voisi olla kaamea, mutta hyvältä ei näytä nytkään.

Venäjältä menee rautatie Pohjoiskoreaan, eikä taitaisi olla vaikeata rakentaa putki sen viereen.

Salakuljettaminen on tuottoisaa puuhaa. Kiinalaisilla rajaviranomaisilla on hyvät välit kuljetusyrityksiin ja tiukentuneesta valvonnasta huolimatta homma jatkuu kuten ennenkin, merellä jopa kiihtyy. Kukaan ei halua hylätä tuottoisaa bisnestä.

“Despite Chinese border agencies stepping up enforcement of sanctions and blocking trade with North Korea, trade in marine products coming from the North appears to be on the rise. Smuggling boats from China are transporting hundreds of tons of marine products from the North back to Liaoning Province in China via international waters every night," a source close to North Korean affairs in China informed Daily NK on November 29."

Russian President Vladimir Putin has met with a senior Chinese military official, as Moscow and Beijing seek to forge stronger military cooperation.

During the meeting with Zhang Youxia, who is a member of the Political Bureau of Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and the vice chairman of CPC Central Military Commission (CMC), in Moscow on Thursday, Putin said that military cooperation played a vital role in Russia-China relations.

Putin said Moscow and Beijing had to continue to strengthen their cooperation in joint military drills and military training. Building strong bonds with China are at the top of Russia’s foreign policy agenda, he said.

He insisted that the two countries had to further strengthen these bonds to help secure regional and global peace and stability in their pursuit of mutual goals shared by the two nations.

The U.S. has microwave weapons that proponents believe could stop North Korea from launching missiles by frying their electronics.

The weapons were discussed at an August White House meeting related to North Korea, according to two U.S. officials with direct knowledge.

Many of the targets, according to internal CHAMP budget documents obtained by NBC News, involved "representative WMD production equipment" found in Iran and North Korea.

"It was as close to the real thing as we could get," Keith Coleman, CHAMP program manager for Boeing, said after the test.

"It absolutely did exactly what we thought it was going to do," said Robinson. "We had several different target classes in those facilities, and we predicted with almost 100 percent accuracy … which systems were going to be affected, which systems failed, and how."

The 2012 test, the only one so far declassified by the Pentagon, has been followed by additional tests and various experiments to advance the microwave technology. A new power source was incorporated, turning the microwave weapon into what the Air Force calls "Super CHAMP."

According to a December 2016 Air Force Research Laboratory document, the low-flying missile is now "capable of flying into a contested area and disabling an adversary's electronic systems."

Robinson said "there is no doubt" in her mind that HPM weapons work.

Could a high-power microwave weapon actually be used against North Korea?

Deptula said he believed the U.S. could use an HPM to disable a ballistic missile on a North Korean launch pad, and that there are many advantages to using microwave weapons in a North Korean scenario.

They work in all weather, said Deptula, which helps in the Korean climate, and "they're employed at the speed of light. You can't get much faster than that in terms of achieving desired effects."

The main operational constraint, Robinson said, is that the microwaves from the CHAMP emitter "aren't very far-ranging."
