I personally don't think they'll have the support of China or Russia (assuming we're not talking T2K here -- in T2K, the DPRK's nuclear program would be in its infancy) in real life. China has condemned the DPRK's actions, many times over the past few years, and they don't want refugees from the North in China -- to the point of often shooting those who try to cross illegally. The Russians -- they may give material support, but their support for the DPRK has been waning the past decade -- the DPRK doesn't have enough cash or resources to keep Russia interested. The ROKs actually have more up-to-date Russian-built equipment and vehicles in some cases.
