US Military Plane Forced Down By North Korean Electronic Attack
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 Resolv (www.myfoxny.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I don't know the details of this, but I HIGHLY doubt the aircraft was "forced down" or had to make an "emergency" landing. An aircraft that loses its GPS ability still flies just fine, only the precision of its navigation isn't as great (but is still as good as navigation was for the first 90+ years of aviation). Most likely, the aircraft cut its mission short, but I'm sure the landing was 100% routine. Melodramatic journalism trying to hype a non-story in order to attract readers.
Maybe we should deploy our 'Bamer Jammer' and give them a taste of their own medicine.
I agree with Jim Quinn. The smart thing to do is to spread dis-information about the use of an adversaries capabilities and effectiveness.
SOUNDS LIKE IT IS TIME TO BRING OUR OWN VERSION OF A JAMMER JAMMER OUT. SIMILAR TO VG2 TECHNOLOGY
There is of course the possibility that we WANT the North to believe that their jamming efforts are effective. Otherwise I'd be suspicious of a story released to the public such as this one. Many times there is a motive behind the madness of "leaking" this sort of story, but to give public recognition for this event raises my own antenna. It seems to me that there is more to this story....
Birds away!
