The same
military source said to Yonhap that if the Gatling machine guns are integrated
on all of the estimated 380 border patrol boats, that would be an additional
threat to the South Korean Navy, which currently uses 30mm remotely operated
guns. The issue has raised serious concerns to the US and South Korean officials who try to track down how those weapons ended up to the North Korean Navy. Yonhap News Agency also reported that another military source mentioned that the North Korean Navy will use stealth technology on its littoral patrol vessels, in order to counter-balance the use of stealth technology by South Korean Navy patrol boats. |
