re: #220 Shiplord Kirel, live from behind wingnut lines

This tweet from Fox shill Lucas Tomlinson is really something. The RWNJs are falling right into line demanding that Trump blow the boats out of the water, etc. Assholes have no idea how freedom of the seas works or that these boats go to sea armed all the time.

Korean People’s Navy

The NKN’s most capable weapons systems are their approximately 43 guided-missile patrol boats equipped with the SS-N-2A STYX antiship missile (or its Chinese version, the CSS-N-1 SCRUBBRUSH). Though their small size limits operations to coastal waters and calm seas, they have a capability to quickly respond to Combined Forces Command (CFC) shipping approaching the coast. The NKN has 12 OSA-1 guidedmissile patrol boats, 10 DPRK versions of the OSA-1 called the SOJU, and 19 other fast-attack missile craft; the OSA and SOJU are all equipped with four CSS-N-1 missile launchers. The missiles have a maximum range of 25 NM and carry radar or infrared homing seekers.

SS-N-2A Styx (P-15 Termit) is the missile that sank the Israeli destroyer Eilat 50 years ago this October.
