Named “Lockheed U-2”, the closed aircraft is capable of flying 70,000 meters above sea level in what is known as the nearest space.

While North Korea is praised for advances in its nuclear weapons and for rockets ready to hit American territory near Guamí, “The Lady” is Washington's chosen spy plane to help investigate threats coming from abroad.

“We are more busy than we have been in the last 10 years”, said Colonel James Bartran, a veteran U-2 pilot who heads the 5th intelligence team at Osan Air Base, the nearest US Air Force base, about 64 kilometers near the borders of North Korea.

The mission is clear, to keep eyes and ears in North Korea, “reported CNN” Transmission Periscope.

The newest aircraft models “Dragon Lady” have been modernised with new sensors and cameras.

The value of this plane is 250 million dollars, which are equipped to handle a number of secret - character data collection tasks.

That makes it a huge asset in discovering what North Koreans have no idea what she's capable of.

“We can see and hear things at the same time”, said Bartran.

In the months since Donald Trump became president of the United States, rhetoric between North Korea and the US has intensified.

Both sides have threatened each other with total annihilation.

But the unpredictability of both leaders could mean tensions could escalate and could be more high at any time.

A third “team F-16” is located in Kunsan, the US Air Force Base in South Korea.

This plane has supersonic speed, which can move in about six miles per minute.
