North Korean Threats

This is getting old, fast.

Yonhap news, citing KCNA (North Korea's propaganda news front):

North Korea threatened Saturday to shoot down any Japanese aircraft entering its air space, accusing Tokyo of spying on the country earlier this week.

Not that anyone, even the North Korean (DPRK) regime, is actually claiming that Japanese reconnaissance aircraft have entered DPRK airspace.

"The air force of the Korean People's Army will not tolerate even a bit the aerial espionage by the warmongers of the Japanese aggression forces but mercilessly shoot down any plane intruding into the territorial air of the DPRK even 0.001 mm..."

Yeah, yeah.

We're flattered they think so highly of us.

Really.

The only problem might come when the DPRK definition of "territorial air" doesn't exactly match up with what the rest of the world thinks is their territory.

Thing is, if they come out to international airspace to take a try at one of the patrols, they might well learn an interesting lesson about the results of provocation...
