Air power would be the key to the conflict.
Here s What You Need to Remember: Air dominance, shut down enemy command & control, and close air support. These steps are the way to attain battlefield supremacy in modern warfare.
In any conflict in the skies over North Korea, the U.S. Air Force will likely follow a familiar pattern. First, it will need to sweep the skies of enemy fighters not a difficult prospect considering the decrepit state of the North Korean air force. Concurrent with that will be a campaign to shut down the country’s command and control and air defense systems, and finally a close air support and interdiction campaign designed to support friendly forces and locate and destroy enemy ground forces. Here are five weapons systems the air force would need for these missions in the next war in North Korea.

Kim Hates This: The South Korean Air Force Could Crush North Korea
Seoul has invested well in its own defense and has a powerful military that Pyongyang knows to fear.
Key point: South Korea not only has the F-15K Slam Eagle, but it also has the F-35 stealth fighter. In fact, in terms of technology and training Seoul has one of the finest air forces.
The Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF) is the most powerful air force on the Korean Peninsula, with a capability far greater than its northern rival, providing air cover and support to ground forces defending south of the thirty-eighth parallel. Recently, the air force has taken on a new task as Seoul shapes a conventional force to deter North Korea’s nuclear weapons.
Korea’s New KF-21 Jet Isn’t A Stealth Fighter But Could Evolve Into One
The KF-21 jet’s projected unit price of $65 million is too high to be considered a bargain-bin jet like the Golden Eagle, but about two-thirds the price of advanced non-stealth fighters like the Rafale and Typhoon.
In a ceremony on April 9 attended by President Moon Jae-in, Korean Aerospace Industries (KAI) unveiled the prototype of an advanced new indigenous KF-21 Boramae (“Hunting Hawk”) jet fighter at a facility in Sacheon.
South Korea is spending around $8 billion developing the Boramae, formerly known by its program name of KF-X. About 120 single-seat and two-seat KF-21s are planned to replace nearly 170-200 F-5E/F Tiger light fighters around 70 beefier 1960s-era F-4E Phantom heavy fighters in Republic of Korea Air Force service.
