Cause the world needs another conflict?

"Yonhap news agency later said South Korea’s military fired about 100 shots but failed to shoot any down." That's not good.

It also indicates they were warning shots. Regardless, using kinetic ammunition against a small, agile aerial target is not easy. 100 shots is about 2 seconds worth of fire....if that. If they really needed to take these down, they would saturate the airspace with lead, or fire any form of ordinance with tracking.

This conflict has been brewing for some time. It's not new.

It seems so sad, so many people in nk kept In ignorance and poverty to keep an elite few mentally ill in luxery and power

I know that, North Korea seems to be escalating it.

Historically, Korea has only been trying to build defenses against a possible attack. They wouldn't do anything with the US backing the south

I’m guessing this is part of a larger Chinese strategy to stress the American led geopolitical security system to the max. A war ir three on every continent and it is uncertain if America and its allied can hold it all together

That, unfortunately, makes sense.

China and Russia will step things up in Iran, Africa as well as North Korea to spread things out as well

So SK sent a welcoming party, firing around 100 shots and ended up losing a plane themselves, without hitting anything? Doesn't sound too good :/

Also, is the shots being fired a regular occurance vs the various provocations from NK? or is this something that doesn't happen? Were there shots fired the last time this happened in 2017?

Damn this was a bad time for BTS to join the military huh.

Everyone is testing the waters right now. Many countries are under resource strain, public perception strain, and the world is focused on the situation with Russia and Ukraine. This is an opportunity for other bad actors to see what the response is to their behavior while the focus is turned elsewhere. Resource constraints specifically are likely to force countries to make resource grabs, or take this opportunity to shift their geopolitical influence.

You are, unfortunately, correct.

Too true. They've been screwing with our economy too, but that's on us for wanting China to make everything for us. When they convert most of their factories to wartime things, they'll out produce us by a staggering amount. Seems like with the military tech Russia is using, they're likely just trying to strain our supply too.

We've had years to become friends and prove to them they don't need such defended borders, but we did the opposite.

Bbbrrrrrrrrrrp. Thank you for expressing that 100 shots is about 2 seconds of blast.

It's cold rn, we sure could use some more heat

Cool cool…. Doesn’t sound like ominous global conditions at all…

America has a 858 billion military budget set for 2023. I wouldn't be too worried about their absolute military supremacy. Isn't the first time either that America fought wars on multiple fronts.

Imagine weighing like 45kg, live in a "shack" with almost a roof and still believing that your country is the best the world's gonna get

It certainly is. Look at Iran, Ukraine, nk and sk, Taiwan/china, Pakistan, Brazil. I

damn...losing a jet fighting DJIs is kinda sad...

It’s not like people regularly hunt birds or anything

These 100 shots were fired from a fighter jet, nobody hunts birds with a fighter jet.
