동해에 북한전투기 침투가 있엇다네요
============================
April 23 (Reuters) -North Korea's air force has begun long-distance flight training to counter U.S. fighter jet tactics used in the war in Iraq, while monitoring U.S. and Russian spy planes, the South's Defence Ministry said on Wednesday.
The comments made by South Korean Defence Minister Cho Young-kil to lawmakers, comes as U.S. Assistant Secretary of State James Kelly was due for talks with his North Korean counterpart in Beijing to resolve a six-month standoff with Pyongyang over its suspected nuclear weapons programme.
"Ten North Korean fighter jets, MiG-21s and MiG-23s, practiced long-distance navigation flights," a ministry spokesman quoted Cho as saying.
"On the East Sea, MiG-23s and MiG-29s are monitoring U.S. and Russian surveillance planes," Cho said.
The East Sea is South Korea's preferred name for the Sea of Japan.
Pyongyang has feared it may be Washington's next target after the U.S.-led war in Iraq, something the United States denies.
Earlier this month, North Korean leader Kim Jong-il visited an air base just hours after Iraq's leadership crumbled and said he was sure pilots were ready to "beat back the enemy".
North Korea's air force operates nearly 1,700 aircraft, including 780 fighters, more than 80 bombers and 300 support aircraft. Its line-up of fighter planes include 46 Russian MiG-23s, which date back decades, and 16 modern MiG-29 fighter jets.
Last month, four North Korean MiG fighter jets, including the outdated MiG 21s and modern MiG 29s, buzzed a U.S. spy plane in international airspace in the sea between the Korean peninsula and Japan.
