As for mines in storage, in case of an
invasion, there won't be enough time to be putting in any minefields.

I don't know a lot about US mines but the Russians littered
Afghanistan with little plastic air dropped mines. The problem is they
look like toys and kids pick them up ... kaboom.
There have been a number of stories about them.
I think they copied a US mine.

It is pretty fast to spray those out in front of an attacking army.

Those won't even slow down tanks, APCs, and self-propelled artillery. North Korea has more of that
stuff than you can imagine.

These days we call armor "targets". As long as you have air
superiority, big things on the ground become a video game.

Again, sheer numbers can affect our 'air superiority'. F-16s are great, but when faced with half a
dozen or more MIGs each, they can have their problems. North Korea is also a porcupine's back of
SAMs. If the south attacked first, much of that could be suppressed, but that's not the scenario.
