A US surveillance aircraft has flown over South Korea, an aviation tracker said Wednesday, on an apparent mission to monitor North Korea just days after the communist nation fired what are believed to be two short-range ballistic missiles.
The US Navy's EP-3E was spotted in skies above South Korea on Tuesday, Aircraft Spots tweeted.
The operation came two days after North Korea fired two projectiles from the eastern coastal city of Wonsan toward the East Sea, marking the fourth major weapons test the North has conducted this year.
The United States flew the same type of plane over the peninsula Sunday, the same day the North fired the two projectiles.
Amid stalled denuclearization talks with the US since the no-deal Hanoi summit in February last year, the North has called for boosting self-defense capabilities.
On Monday, North Korea lashed out at US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for seeking continued international pressure against Pyongyang, threatening to "hurt" the US and go its "own way."

I would think the satellites saw what it was minutes after it fired. But maybe that is my sci-fi mind.

The “Eastern Sea”? Why wouldn’t they call it the Sea of Japan?
To: HighSierra5
This was written by a Korean, I think.
Maybe they are still unhappy about the WW2 stuff?
To: Vermont Lt
I was wondering too, why a plane? Maybe it sniffs for something? A tweak at Kim?

You are aware that there is still some resentment towards Japan in Korea, aren’t you? A couple of little things called WWII and the “Greater East Asia Prosperity Sphere” pop into my head almost immediately...

We need to stand up a few SR-71’s again. It is still the best surveillance aircraft that there is.

It was also a beautiful design. Such a shame it’s decommissioned.

SR-71 cost something like $5 million per mission to run, probably $10 million per mission today. Maybe more.

We have technology that can fly 400 foot above your head, manned, and you could not see it or hear it

On top of a thousand years or so of the Koreans repelling Japanese invasion attempts, yes.
