U.S. escalates espionage flights against DPRK in March

KCNA

    Pyongyang, April 1 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialist warhawks committed more than 220 espionage flights against the DPRK in March. Many strategic and tactical reconnaissance planes of various missions were involved in them.
    RC-135 strategic reconnaissance plane spied on areas deep in the DPRK and its major military targets on the east coast while U-2 high-altitude strategic reconnaissance plane and RC-135 strategic reconnaissance plane photographed strategic targets of the DPRK and spied on them by using electronic devices.
    E-3 plane commanded pursuit assault planes and fighter bombers and spied on military targets of the DPRK in the fore-frontal areas. EP-3 electronic reconnaissance plane flew above the east and west coasts searching underwater. RC-12 and RC-7B tactical reconnaissance planes spied on the frontal and coastal line areas.
    Meanwhile, the U.S. imperialists carried out aerial war exercises under the simulated conditions of a war against the north as part of Foal Eagle and Rsoi war exercises in March.
    They transferred more than 50 strategic reconnaissance planes, refueling tankers, electronic jamming planes, special operational planes, pursuit assault planes and fighter bombers from the U.S. mainland and overseas bases to South Korea to be involved in these exercises for a war of aggression. They also mobilized a F-117 stealth fighter bomber in a drill to attack land targets, supported by E-3 control plane. And they hurled F-117 stealth and F-16 fighter bombers into a drill of getting familiar with topographical conditions and a drill of supporting the front.
    The aerial war exercises were a very dangerous mobile exercise intended to secure the command of air by the U.S. air force, increase the capability of its preemptive attack and contain the DPRK at an initial stage in case of "contingency."
    The aerial espionage and war exercises go to clearly prove that the U.S. is going to invade the DPRK at the end of the Iraqi war
