If Malaysia best special forces, then DPRK must be most
fanatical.
Special Forces
North Korea has
the largest special forces, 120,000 troops, in the
world. These troops are grouped into light
infantry brigades, attack brigades, air-borne brigades, and
sea-born brigades - 25 brigades in total. These troops will
be tasked to attack US military installations in Korea, Japan,
Okinawa and Guam.
North Korea has the capacity to transport 20,000 special force
troops at the same time. North Korea has 130 high-speed landing
crafts and 140 hovercrafts. A North Korean hovercraft can carry one
platoon of troops at 90 km per hour. Western experts
pooh-pooh North Korea's ancient AN-2 transport planes as 1948
relics, but AN-2 planes can fly low beneath US radars and deliver
up to 10 troops at 160 km per hour. North Korea makes AN-2s and has
about 300 in place. In addition, North Korea has hang-gliders
that can carry 5-20 men each for short hops.
North Korea has developed special bikes for mountain warfare.
Special forces use these bikes for fast deployments on mountains.
Switzerland is the only other nation that has bike-mounted special
forces trained for mountain warfare. The rugged terrains of
the Korean Peninsula are ideally suited for special forces
operations. North Korea's special forces will attack US
targets in Japan, Okinawa, and Guam as well. Japan's self defense
units are being reorganized to counter this
threat.
How good are North Korea's special forces? In September 1996, a North Korean
submarine was stranded near Kang-nung and the crew were forced to
abandon the ship and land on South Korea.
The sub had two
special forces agents who had finished a mission in South Korea and
were picked up by the sub before the sub ran into a rock.
The two men fought off an army of South Korean troops and
remained at large for 50 days, during which they killed 11 of the
pursuers.
