1. For folks who don't know the significance of this data, "Cobra Ball" Wiki:

"The RC-135S Cobra Ball is a measurement and signature intelligence MASINT collector equipped with special electro-optical instruments designed to observe ballistic missile flights at long range.
2. The Cobra Ball monitors missile-associated signals and tracks missiles during boost and re-entry phases to provide reconnaissance for treaty verification and theater ballistic missile proliferation."

Are we getting ready to take a shot in boost-phase or shortly after?
3. Our Destroyer force is quite the thing. They're bristling with SM3s.

If Turkey pulls our Iran targeted SM3 radar, we'll need to deploy permanently in the Black Sea. Should we build a DDG or a new class Black Sea missile frigate in #Ukraine's Mykolaiv ship yard? 🇺🇦 😎✌️
4. Update:
Two Cobra Ball are reported to be rotating from Kadena AFB on Okinawa keep 24/7 coverage in case of a #DPRK launch.
