Conventional smart munitions delivered mainly by UAV's and B2's, taking out precision targets. They'll want to show off the F22 Raptor, too - pity the F35 isn't ready yet, that looks like fun!

:tup: Except if there were cruise missiles that just happened to be available. Y'know, just sayin'.
Too bad the Japanese don't have a bunch with a +/- 30 minute flying time nearby. :whistle:

Seoul (AsiaNews / Agencies) - A ship flying the flag of North Korea could carry weapons for the Burmese military junta, according to anonymous sources from South Korean intelligence. The cargo ship Kang Nam, currently off the coast of China, is expected to dock in the next few days in a port near Yangon. ...


...The expert does not exclude the possibility that the military junta in Burma are working in secret to develop a military nuclear arsenal.
Expect news of a "mystery explosion" on the ship...

Too crude. You attach command-detonated mines to the hull, then, when the ship sailed through the "Pacific Triangle" . . .
