No. North Korea's military contains old equipment and ineffective technology. North Korea relies very heavily on the fact that it does not actually have to engage its forces against its enemies, rather it relies on the myth of greatness in the show of numbers and display of fanaticism and loyalty.
N Korean soldiers are considered fanatical and are considered loyal as long as its forces remain intact. They however, lack the ability to adapt and act independently when their planned environment disintegrates.
US/South Korean tanks and missiles can engage and destroy the DPRK vehicles long before the N Korean vehicles are in range to return fire. N Korea has no answer to US and South Korean long range Air to Air missiles, they have no answer to US GPS guided cruise missiles and no answer to GPS guided precision air to ground bombs. The US has long ago worked out counter measures to all of the N Korean 70s and 80s technology, while impressive on battlefield demonstrations, these rapid fire behemoths are generally not effective in the 21st century.
The US strategy would be to rely on precision attacks that overwhelm the approaching enemy with overwhelming firepower.
Every last N Korean naval ship would be destroyed before any US ship was in range of N Korean guns. Every N Korean air squadron would be grounded or destroyed with a couple of days.
The 30 year period from 1980-2010 was the greatest leap in military technology ever with the rise of micro electronics, laser sensing and GPS. The N Koreans simply have missed that leap.
A conflict between North Korea and South Korea\US would resemble more Kuwait/Iraq 1991 than Kursk. The N Koreans would put up pockets of resistance in certain mountainous areas, however the US/S Korean strategy at that point would likely be to stand off those skirmishes and wait out the collapse of the N Korean military.
As far as nukes are concerned, the US/S Koreans would likely no want to obliterate N Korea even if the North attempted an attack. The North has very few nukes and no real way to affectively launch a nuke attack. The best they could ever do would be to threaten a civl catastrophe. If they succeeded in causing a massacre of civilians in the South with a couple of bombs, it would only hasten the North's downfall.
The US would not allow a post nuke attack N Korea to stand.

NEVER! First of all, it was the Soviet Union at that time, and SU never entered the Korean War! This is not entirely true, as of 2003, recently opened Russian archives and from research by Russian and American historians found the following: "Soviet pilots battled the U.S. Air Force in the early months in the skies over Korea using planes transported secretly to air bases along the Manchurian border. The Soviet pilots wore Chinese uniforms and were trained to use Chinese phrases on their radios to mask their involvement in the war."

Why is the currency of Korea weaker than Nepal?
This is not the case; the Korean Won is much stronger than the Nepalese Rupee since the government of South Korea is much stronger than that of Nepal. The term "weak currency" does not refer to the relative value of the currency, so the fact that 1 NPR = 10.61 KRW does not mean that the Nepalese Rupee is 10x stronger that the Korean Won, just that each unit is 10x more valuable.
