The North currently has about 8,500 field guns, 5,100 multiple rocket launchers and some 100 surface-to-surface guided weapons.
About 60 percent of the North's naval forces are forward-deployed south of Pyongyang and Wonsan, which enables them to launch a surprise attack on the South at anytime, it adds.
