Rattling nerves along the border, a North Korean fighter jet violated South Korean airspace over the Yellow Sea on Thursday before turning back as warplanes in the South scrambled. The flight - the first such incursion in 20 years - was the latest in a series of North Korean provocations. Sounds a lot like the tactical intelligence games the US and the Soviets played for decades: fly straight into the opponent's airspace while recording the (previously secret) defensive battleplan as it is grudgingly unveiled. This provocative activity includes a strong element of radar signature and communications intercept by the offensive team's ground, sea, and air listening posts. Definitely white knuckle time for everyone... Are the North Koreans probing the South's defenses? I'd say, Yes. --fl@elint.com
