The Recon "grapevine" says the NK fighter pilots were ham-handed.
Wallowing around the sky when trying to fly wing on the RC, some concern that the dumb bastiges were going to run into the RC like the Chinaman did to the EP-3.
Apparently took 'em forever to get formed up when they joined up to go back to NK too.
Now, either they suck.. or that was disinformation.
In my past experiences with interceptions, it was always easy to tell which countries were getting their practice time in. Swedes were precise and sharp like razors. The Russkies... scared me half the time, thinking about midairs.
Now, a poor country with limited food, fuel stocks and airplane spares... I'm thinking these guys aren't flying all that much and it showed.
