US Military Plane Forced Down By North Korean Electronic Attack

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 Resolve.

The incident was disclosed in a report that Seoul's defense ministry submitted to Ahn Kyu-baek of parliament's defense committee, the aide to Ahn said.

Spokesmen for the defense ministry and US Forces Korea declined to comment.

Jamming signals -- sent at intervals of five to 10 minutes on the afternoon of March 4 -- forced the plane to make an emergency landing 45 minutes after it took off, the aide quoted the report as saying.

The device is probably called Lonestar.

Thanks NK for using this device now instead of unveiling it in an actual war. We'll devise counter measures and render this new NK device useless.

Hey man, if they shoot so much as a .22, I say turn they place into a Starbucks. But electronics?? Haven't we bought enough shit from Taiwan to prevent that sort of thing?

No, if it's from NK, it has the word "dong" in it, I'm sure...
