VietNamNet Bridge – The Viet Nam International Travel Mart (VITM) wrapped on Saturday, with travel firms hailing its success.


The presence of North Korea at the event triggered interest among the visitors and the media.

“During the four-day event, we had 500 tourists registering to visit the DPRK,” said Nguyen Cong Hoan, director of HanoiRedtours Company.

“Tours to DPRK from April to September are full. It’s an unexpected success for us. A tour would cost about VND30 million ($1,500) for a five-day trip.”

Commentary

Alas, it sounds like the shifting of sand under the feet of poor planners at it again!

Should the Indochinese have studied on a daily basis with sincerity my so many posts covering the North East Asian affairs, that miscalculation would have been avoided!

Bad timing that is.

U.S. missile-tracking plane arrives in Okinawa

Apr 01,2019

A U.S. reconnaissance aircraft specialized in observing ballistic missiles arrived at a U.S. air base in Okinawa, Japan, on Saturday, fueling speculation that a North Korean rocket launch may be imminent.

According to Aircraft Spots, a Twitter account that tracks military aircraft worldwide, a U.S. Air Force RC-135S plane was seen arriving at Kadena Air Base in Okinawa at around 8:30 p.m. Saturday after departing from a U.S. military base in the Indian Ocean earlier that same day.

The U.S. Air Force only has three Boeing RC-135Ss in operation, which were deployed to Kadena in rotation in 2017 when the North test-fired more than a dozen missiles over a span of several months.

The spy planes - known as Cobra Ball - are equipped with radar, infrared and visible spectrum cameras that can track ballistic missiles - and the possible warheads or satellites attached to them - in their final phase of flight.

The plane in question is believed to have been redirected from the island base at Diego Garcia to Okinawa after observing an anti-satellite missile test by the Indian military on Thursday.

While these planes’ transponders are usually turned off during military operations to avoid detection, this most recent deployment could have been intentionally left visible by the United States.

The last time Cobra Ball planes were spotted near the Korean Peninsula was on Nov. 29, 2017 - the last time North Korea tested its Hwasong-15 intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). The missile is believed to have the theoretical capacity of reaching the U.S. mainland.

Analysts say the deployment of the RC-135S - and possibly those of an E-3 Airborne Warning and Control System and RC-12X intelligence aircraft to Osan airbase on March 18 - could be preparation by the United States in the event of a rocket launch by Pyongyang.

North Korea’s missile[space] launch could happen anytime

Apr 02,2019

North Korea could be on the brink of a missile launch from a pad on its western coast, said a South Korean official on Monday.

Backing up a briefing made by Seoul’s spy chief, Suh Hoon, at South Korea’s National Assembly last Friday, the official said the North Korea’s reconstruction of the Sohae Satellite Launching Station, which started in February, is effectively complete, and a launch only needs a go-ahead from leader Kim Jong Un.

Perfect. Vietnamese tourists can visit the site at the moment when Uncle Kim pushes the button

Talking seriously, North Korea can become as prosperous as Vietnam if she cooperates with us. Building factories and send stuffs to China and South Korea markets.
