A North Korean electronic attack downed a U.S. military plane during military exercises in March, it is now being reported. It sounds like Kim Jong-Il is playing with his war games again.
Kim Jong-Il has never shied away from exhibiting his military prowess, mostly for the benefit of people who are pathetically ignorant of the world outside of anything the hermit communist nation of North Korea tells them.
Most recently the petite tyrant forced down a U.S. military plane during military exercises by jamming the GPS system. The North Korean electronic attack happened in March and is just now being reported.
SEOUL – A US military reconnaissance plane came under electronic attack from North Korea and had to make an emergency landing during a major military exercise in March, a political aide said Friday.
The aide said the plane suffered disturbance to its GPS system due to jamming signals from the North’s southwestern cities of Haeju and Kaesong as it was taking part in the annual US-South Korea drill, Key Resolve.
The incident was disclosed in a report that Seoul’s defense ministry submitted to Ahn Kyu-baek of parliament’s defense committee, the aide to Ahn said.
Spokesmen for the defense ministry and US Forces Korea declined to comment.
Jamming signals — sent at intervals of five to 10 minutes on the afternoon of March 4 — forced the plane to make an emergency landing 45 minutes after it took off, the aide quoted the report as saying.
The signals also affected South Korean naval patrol boats and speedboats, as well as several civilian flights near Seoul’s Gimpo area, according to the report.
Seoul mobile users also complained of bad connections, and the military reported GPS device malfunctions as the South and the US were staging the drill, which was harshly criticized by the North.
The Communist state has about 20 types of jamming devices, mostly imported from Russia, and has been developing a new device with a range of more than 62 miles (100 kilometers) near the heavily-fortified border, the Yonhap news agency has said.
This is the type of thing that happens when no one in the world is scared of us any more.
Perhaps the US military needs to avoid that area in the future.
Are you saying that the US military should avoid South Korea?
Perhaps we should just give Kim Jong-Il Alaska. His nukes can reach Alaska so we might as well go ahead and surrender the state to him. Wouldn’t want to provoke him. :rolleyes:
Sure, let’s borrow billions from Communist China to patrol North Korea. Why would N Korea nuke Alaska, so we would immediately annihilate their whole country?

” Why would N Korea nuke Alaska, so we would immediately annihilate their whole country?”
Let me get this right.
You’re asking if Kim is rational ?
Then again, morons tend to think nuking N. Korea would be the end of that.
China and Iran have a vested interest in them for a number of capitalist and strategic gains in addition to China not being too happy if we caused millions of refugees to run their borders creating nothing but anarchy for the Chinese who in return could/would do any number of things from cyber attacks to currency adjustments to military actions on S. Korea, maybe Japan or arm N. Korea to do the same.
Iran could very well follow similar suit.
Theres more to think about than meets the eye but when you’re a brain dead cyclops liberal dont expect that work to take place.
There is a solution but it involves dealing with preserving the life of hundreds of millions of innocent N. Koreans practically unaware they’re hostages while deposing and disarming a sinister dynasty to be followed by some serious nation building that we just cant afford right now since it would have astronomical costs in capital and lives most likely due to resistance in some forms from China and Iran. possibly Syria.
Iran wants the business and China actually would like to wash its hands of these parasites but not at the cost of N. Korea becoming a free and democratic society.
Avoid that part of the world ?
We are hardly the problem.
US and its allies have repeatedly been attacked by these asshats in some way many times when in international or legally designated waters. Do we keep narrowing down the parameters to suit N. Korea untill our presence offers no security to that region ?
Kim would love that.
If we let them get to the point where they’re comfortable attacking us we might just have to waste them which seriously is the last thing anyone wants.
All we can do for now is not let them get too comfortable.
Barry seems to not care
Russia seems to have a vested interest as well. North Korea gets weapons from Russia (as do many of our enemies) and I believe they would have some of the same concerns as China in terms of refugees, etc.
