This airbase, located near sinmak is supposedly home to 32 Q-5 Fantan attack jets, from this view you can see the airbase buildings, silver aircraft on the flightline and the taxiway leading to the hill where the bases underground hangar is. -

North Korea's underground hangar
Pepelev replied to Pepelev's topic in Military and General Aviation
From my sources they can arm with standard K-13 and some late atolls, although most of the missiles are out of shelf life by now. Also if you note under the fuselage there's four bomb racks fitted, again probably for serving in the CAS/ light strike role. -
North Korea's underground hangar
Pepelev replied to Pepelev's topic in Military and General Aviation
Well the North only has about 30 fulcrums, but 97 Farmers. Don't forget against something like an A-10 or B-52 the Mig-19 would be a good dogfight opponent. Plus as the photo I've tagged shows, the Norths farmers are ATA missile capable. This 19 is actually based at Oncheon with the 36th air Regiment , it's shown here on the 2014 exercises

The question is how effective would the hangars be?? I do think the Mig-19 would still fair well.
