The U.S. flew four different types of spy aircraft near North Korea over Christmas.
The flights were in response to North Korea's veiled threat to send a "Christmas present" to the U.S.
In the event of a missile launch, each of the four planes reportedly involved has a different mission.
U.S. military aircraft kept vigil in the skies near North Korea yesterday, waiting for a threatened “Christmas gift†from the country’s leader, Kim Jong Un. Spy planes, including the unmanned RQ-4 Global Hawk kept an eye on the isolated country all Christmas day. The “gift,†which was speculated by experts to be a long range missile test, ultimately never materialized.
