Zero Hedge
Friday, April 6, 2012

Just because the imminent launch of a North Korean rocket along a trajectory which will likely force Japan to strike it down, something which Pyongyang said would be equivalent to an act of war, was not enough, it now appears that South Korea has commenced the hunt for Red Pyongyang or four, as it is now “searching for four North Korean submarines that disappeared after leaving their bases on the tense peninsula.” ABC News reports that “A military source quoted in a South Korean newspaper says up to four North Korean submarines slipped out of port in recent days and have so far avoided detection. The source was also quoted as saying that Pyongyang has stepped up submarine infiltration drills as the weather has warmed.” As a result, “Seoul is now on alert for a possible strike against a South Korean naval ship.” This won’t be the first time a North Korean sub is implicated in potential wrongdoing: “The South accuses the North of using a midget submarine to sink the corvette the Cheonan two years ago, which left 46 South Korean sailors dead.”

Just more posturing, Or will Kim Jong Un force the hand of either Seoul or in a few days, Tokyo? From Al Jazeera:

Japan has completed the deployment of a land-based system of interceptor missiles in preparation for a planned North Korean rocket launch later this month.

The exercise was finalised in Okinawa on Thursday, days after a similar deployment was completed on Monday in Naha, the capital of Okinawa prefecture.

The interceptors would be ready to shoot down any parts of the rocket that veer into Japan’s airspace.

Kunisaki, a transport ship in the Maritime Defence Force, carried the Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) missile interceptors to the port on Ishigaki island to be installed facing towards the controversial rocket’s planned route.

With the PAC-3′s arrival in Ishigaki, the island closest to the area of the rocket’s trajectory, interceptors are now positioned at four locations in Okinawa, including the military bases in Naha, Miyako and Chinen.

Mobile missile launchers, in addition to the ones in Okinawa, will be positioned in the Tokyo metropolitan area in the next few days.

Japan is not taking any chances:

Japan has raised concerns that a failed launch, or a failing stage of the rocket, could endanger Japanese lives or property.

In addition to the PAC-3s, anti-missile equipped destroyers will be deployed to the Pacific and East China Sea. Tokyo took the same measures in 2009 over an earlier North Korean missile launch.

They deployed warships with anti-missile systems, positioned patriot missile interceptors and established a system to warn residents when the rocket was approaching.

And things will just escalate from there. The US has already warned North Korea it would halt food aid the troubled country if it proceeds with the missile launch, which seemingly may provoke Korea to proceed with more nuclear tests.

Choson Sinbo, a newspaper in Japan that generally reflects North Korea’s official thinking, warned that Pyongyang’s moratorium on nuclear tests “can be canceled” if the US ends plans for food aid.

Pyongyang in February agreed to suspend operations at its Yongbyon uranium enrichment plant and impose a moratorium on long-range missile tests and nuclear tests, in return for 240,000 tonnes of US food aid.

Washington last week said it was suspending plans to start food deliveries in light of the imminent rocket launch.

The rocket is expected to launch in the April 12-16 interval. What happens after remains to be seen.

  1. The time has come to do nothing.

  2. Even money says those four North Korean Subs they can’t find are same type of Kilo Class Deisel boats that Iran has about a dozen of. Real Quiet and does not leave a radiation signature like a nuclear boat does. Lots o luck finding them as I am relatively sure they were (Iranians) all around shadowing our carriers, undetected in the gulf.

  3. Amazing ? What’s the worry ? I don’t see anything to be alarmed about, and N.Korea knows if they make a wrong move, they’re dead….simple as that.

    It’s becoming increasingly harder, and harder to make them “dead”, before they make many “dead” themselves.

    That is why we are still at war with N. Korea and have had to live with a “cease fire” for the last sixty years. Making them dead will cost us being dead also. Not an option for the pussies we have in Washington Now. They only attack countries without any defenses that they believe they can beat.

    Problem is they could have defeated them long time ago. Easy to manipulate hungry people in to a revolt, yet they decided to isolate. Curious decision! Another elitist experiment?
    Don’t think their military is that well equiped, but as sure as hell they are better trained, and disciplined! Last artillery exchange resulted in a few deaths in the South, yet a only a few thousand dead North Korean fishies when it was all said and done.

  4. Fix Fukashima and expose who did it. Better yet, kill those who did it

  5. please explain , how the hell you lose track of four n.korean subs ?

    whatever , it cant be a good thing

    It’s real easy when you can’t “hear” them as passive sonar detection requires they make some noise.
    The screws used to emit some sound turning in the water called cavitation but in the last decade or so the Russians developed screws that turn silently. As long as they make little or no noise, you cannot detect them with passive (only listening) detection methods.

    But there’s also active detection methods with they missed (pun intended) the boat on?

    There are many ways of locating Subs

    Try MAD

    Magnetic Anomaly Detection. Google: P3 Orions MAD

    Or several different classified methods

  6. More false flags. Misdrection alert.

  7. Made in Korea is still Made in Korea.
    Those 4 subs are probably positioned to shoot down the Jap and Nazi missiles fired at the satellite vehicle.

  8. “… in return for 240,000 tonnes of US food aid.”
    *****************************************

    I see. so the US govt uses food for political bribes but will not hand it out to needy Americans that are desperate? Draw your own conclusions from that.

  9. Pyong “the pee-on” Yang…Scions of No Chin Ho’s

  10. Sounds like an excuse to beef up our presence at Jeju.
