N.Korea: U.S. Made 200 Spy Flights in February
2004-02-29
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - North Korea claimed Sunday that the U.S. military conducted at least 200 spy flights against it in February and the communist state warned it will continue to expand its defensive measures in response.
Next up in the NKor defensive arsenal: the homemade anti-aircraft slingshot.
"This clearly shows how right it is for us to further increase our self-defense measures," the North's official Korean Central Broadcasting Station said. North Korea regularly makes such asinine accusations. The U.S. military does not comment on North Korean claims on spy flights, although it acknowledges monitoring North Korean military activity.

#8  i'm sure global security has an article on the $ Migs and the US RC-135, apparently they tried to force it down kinda chinese style. The US always has F-15 eagles close at hand now orbiting or on a track nearby the survalence jets just in case Kimmies boys try that stunt again, i think its a working detterent too.

#2  Jon, we are actually engaged in industrial espionage. We Americans lack the innovative skill that is evident in the Juche culture. It is amazing how quickly that North Korean scientists laid out the groundwork for microcircuit improvement for us. It was just like following a recipe after watching them create our future.

#1  the NORKs might try and force the spy flights down like they did a year or so ago with a US RC-135. Good to see Kimmies military is being so closly monitered
