I remember watching a video showing emplacements of NK artillary, this is the hardened site stuff, where the gun crews are sheltered under several feel of concrete and the sites are literally ringed stupid with anti aifcraft defenses.

If the first rounds are already loaded, you can still fire three aimed shots or more in the time that a bomb drops from altitude.

While American air power is very much vaunted and deservedly so, its not like all of the B1's B2's and F22 are in theatre. Most of the planes that the American and south koreans have in theatre are the fun of the mill f-15's and f-18's etc. The North Koreans will know they're coming long before they arrived.

There's no way that the NK doesn't get in a first really big body blow when hostilities start.
