They announced on Jan. 13 that they would deploy more F-16s in south Korea instead of A-10s which they had agreed with it to introduce as a substitute for a squadron of Apache helicopters belonging to the U.S. forces stationed in south Korea expected to be brought back to their mainland in March.

Meanwhile, they are planning to deploy two MH-53s of the U.S. Navy in a unit of the U.S. forces in south Korea within this year besides the deployment of F-16s and increase the number of personnel for the operation of U-2.

Such disturbing military moves go to clearly prove that the U.S. imperialists are working with bloodshot eyes to round off the preparations for a war of aggression against the DPRK behind the scene of dialogue from the outset of the year.
