Well, the north korean OOB lacks a SP-SAM because they in real life they don't have one either; their best high altitude SAM is the SA-3 and it is probably only available in fixed sites.
You have to make do with SPAAGs and MANPADS, just like they would do in real life.
It is a huge weakness of course,more so in real life than in the game; while the sheer number of guns and Strela/Igla gives them a limited protection against attack helicopters, low flying CAS planes and cruise missiles they are essentially defenceless against PGMs dropped from high altitude. This makes a mechanized offensive a suicidal proposition as of 2010 and the effectiviness of the counters they have developed to compensate for that is questionable at best.
