Japan's been claiming that a South Korean navy destroyer recently used its targeting radar to lock on to a Japanese patrol plane.<br />But experts here in South Korea who've seen video from the Japanese plane are saying that did not happen -- futhermore, they say, it was the plane flying at a low altitude over the ship that was threatening.<br /> An expert from the Korea Research Institute for Military Affairs, Ryu Seong-yeop, said today that the plane was never in a position where it could have been in the fire control radar's beams because of the limited angles at which the radar operates.<br />On December 20th, the Korean destroyer Gwanggaeto the Great was conducting a humanitarian search for a North Korean ship in the East Sea when a Japanese patrol plane approached it at close range. <br />
