tunnels?

Wouldn't the South Korean's notice that there was a mysterious hole in the ground and wonder where it went?

I think the North covers them with boards then a layer of leaves.

Care to elaborate on that just a tad? You know, a news snippet, a link, a video, pics- anything at all?

Sure, no problem... here is my elaboration

WOULDN'T THE SOUTH KOREAN'S NOTICE THAT THERE WAS A MYSTERIOUS HOLE IN THE GROUND?

Is that elaborate enough?

Unfortunately I couldn't find any YouTube that says that NK has tunnels and nobody in the South noticed.....but I'll keep looking... hopefully I'll find one, but until then, perhaps you can just think about the idea I have that perhaps, possibly, maybe, South Korea would notice the mole hills? If you can't consider that without YouTube then go....f......elf

I'm really sorry to not have the world renowned YouTube factual resource back me up on that.

Fellow ATS members back me up that there is no YouTube or other that confirms that South Korea have not noticed battalion sized holes in the ground?

It's an open secret that North Korea has hundreds of tunnels, if not more. Four tunnels have been found that cross the DMZ since 1974, the latest in 1990. They're usually found by a simple mistake, such as steam rising where there shouldn't be any.

Yes, I see, but I still wonder... surely a South Korean would see the opening to the tunnel and think... Aha... I see a Tunnel? Or they just think... nah, it's not a tunnel it's Natural?

They can't be that stupid? Fill it in or wait for some NK starving soldier to stick his head through it first and then realise?

Most of them are very long, and start in DPRK territory. It's not like they start building them in sight of the DMZ where South Korean soldiers can see them and go "Oh look! There's another tunnel!" That would completely defeat the purpose. There are ways to build them without leaving massive holes and piles of dirt laying around that would give it away. The NVA/VC did it all over Vietnam during the Vietnam Conflict.

Really? Because if you would read the rest of your thread another poster put up a link to a video, and right after that I embedded it for them. How is anyone supposed to figure out what the hell you were talking about with one sentence? This isn't Twitter dude!

How the heck is anyone supposed to figure out what you are referring to with just one sentence? Are we supposed to be able to see whatever it is that you are looking at via telepathy? Your reply to me was rude and uncalled for. I asked you for further information and you responded with childishness- not cool.

Exactly...plus, if I were a commander, I'd simply stop the tunnels 10' short of where they should exit.
Complete the last 10' once the invasion started, while the regiment behind readies to invade...

These tunnels are huge. They're talking entire divisions through in less than an hour. One of the smaller ones would pass 2000 troops an hour through it.

I served in South Korea on the TNT (Tunnel Neutralization Teams) back in '93. Boring job with a great description, especially when serving as a soldier without a war.

Some of those tunnels are massive 25-30 feet across and some are wormholes 3-4 feet across. They are found all over the place.

As stated very few are complete. The NK army is fanatical not stupid.

Yep, no doubt some are professional, big, electric lights, paved, etc., while others are small, earth reinforced with wooden beams. Still though, yeah, you'd simply wait until the invasion to create the "breach" and then pour out behind the lines.

All they have to do is follow the white rabbit.
