Cobra Ball is one of the many flavors of the RC-135. It has a powerful missile tracking radar, such that the cockpit has to be heavily shielded. It was used to track Soviet warheads landing in the Pacific during missile tests.
I should have definitely added the trusty RC135V, “Rivet Joint” as well. Just no time to think of it. Cobra Ball, Rivet Joint and other assets, yes. Ramping things up now, watching for all kinds of signs. If politically the Boy becomes unstable in trying to fill the vacuum of charismatic and experienced Kim Jong il, he may feel the need to show off his manhood for domestic appeal a little bit and give the order to launch some modified Scuds toward Japan into the sea, or maybe a naval provocation where they could come away and winner and he could be seen as this big magnificent military genius just like Grandpa and Dad.
