70% of North Korea’s Submarines have Left their Bases, Can’t be Located

Dozens of N. Korean submarines left their bases at both Eastern and Western coast, and can’t be located. Military are increasing their surveillance capability to track them, it is confirmed.

That accounts for 70% of (N. Korea’s) submarine fleet, which totals 70 ships. This is the largest rate of deployment since the Korean War.

With the talks going on dozens of NK submarines have left their bases and can't be located. So are they getting ready to attack or is this more posturing on NK part?

Could China be allowing this to devert attention from its economy troubles?

i do believe we have a new hitler!

They didn't have the technology to keep them anchored down.

That's new and interesting...One of these days, there will be some bite to all the bark. Lets not get to relaxed with all the threats made.

How would this be a new Hitler?

oh, we know where they are....but, secrets are meant to be secret

What would really be funny is if all 70 of his subs have catastrophic failures and wind up as scrap on the bottom of the ocean. The US military has technology that can track those subs. Probably won't hear about it though,..

Mayhem, you can make whatever story you like afterwards. Djinghis Khan, Alexander, Hitler, list is kinda narrow but you get the point, a few more names. Buuut of little interest cause its before Judaism was invented

I thought, as is such a prevalent mantra on ATS, that DPRK didn't have the technological capability to embarrass their southern neighbours like this?

Kim Yong - Un
South Korea - Nul

Teehee

If this goes to a full blown WW3 or sorta WW3, with a 100M dash at the start,im just gonna try to hang in there.

U.S. Pacific Fleet, you can be rest assured, is well in control of this situation...

Well they only went for a three hour tour...and got lost trying to find their way home.

NK Subs = Aluminum paddle boats.
They probably drifted away over night.

We know where they are...it's the NK government that doesn't know.

The vast majority of NK's sub fleet is a type that the South Koreans captured one of over 20 years ago. That means everybody has had 20 years to play with it and figure it out.

Of the remainder, the majority of THOSE are Romeo type subs which NATO has been playing with for 40 years or so.

Just because the media can't find them doesn't mean nobody can.

I agree, the US probably knows were all the subs are its just they will not say anything so North Korea will keep thinking that they are getting away with something.

Lately I don't care about Korea. We have war in Ukraine. Full version of war. Kim is too far for normal people to care about him and his actions.

truth be told there is probably a U.S. Attack sub with torpedo lock just waiting for little Kim to do his thing. The time it takes to go from the prosperous people's paradise of North Korea to the Stone Age can be measured in hours.

They probably sunk.

Lets hope his entire fleet defects to South Korea, I imagine our glorious leader would not like that one bit.
