Four U.S. F-22 stealth fighters (click here) are flying over South Korea amid growing tensions following North Korea's rocket launch.
The high-tech planes capable of sneaking past radar undetected were seen flying near a U.S. air base near Seoul on Wednesday.
Pyongyang will likely view the arrivals of the planes as a threat as they are a clear show of force against the country.
The United States often sends powerful and sophisticated warplanes to South Korea in times of tension with North Korea.
Last month, the United States sent a powerful nuclear-capable B-52 bomber to South Korea following North Korea's fourth nuclear test.
I thought it was a bird at first. But, the more I thought I'd miss the best photo of the year I realized I was looking at a us stealth jet fly over my house in a wooded area. The darn things are black and easily seen against the sky. I didn't need radar and now everyone in the region is sending up jets to find out where they are because the radar wasn't picking them up.
The US military is this negligent in it's efforts to keep South Korea safe? And our pilots are at risk as of now that they weren't 12 hours ago. This disclosure is outrageous.
The tensions on the Korean peninsula started with "Island Mania." The reason North Korea did this supposedly is due to hunger within the country and this island provided additional fishing waters. The USA used to provide significant supplies of food and heating fuel to the North Korean people, but, that ended when Bush decided North Korea needed more of an incentive to peace. Taking food and heat away from the North Koreans was a strategy.

Then with tension rising, a larger presence of the USA and communications with North Korea; China began to push it's national borders into international waters. Now, we have disclosed stealth fighters that provide no edge to USA presence in the region.
