In recent years, North Korea has made increasing military threats against South Korea and the United States. The question remains, can North Korea win a war? Although North Korea has a large army, it is not a match for the military strength of South Korea and the United States. North Korea would likely lose a war against the South Koreans and Americans.<\/p>\n

No, North Korea cannot win a war.<\/p>\n

Does North Korea have a strong military? <\/h2>\n

North Korea has one of the largest standing armies in the world, with more than one million soldiers. However, its equipment is old and obsolete, and the military lacks fuel and spare parts. In order to make up for these shortcomings, North Korea has built nuclear weapons, which it says are primarily a deterrent.<\/p>\n

The Hwasong-14 ballistic missile is a North Korean missile that can travel up to 4,500km, making it capable of reaching the US island of Guam in the Pacific. The missile has also been tested with a range of 8,000km, although some studies suggest it could travel as far as 10,000km, making it capable of reaching New York.<\/p>\n

How weak is North Korea’s military <\/h3>\n
