It was reported that during this saber rattling F-16s of the U.S. air force and KF-16s of the puppet air force would stage drills for reconnaissance and cooperation in air raids.

The U.S. warmongers claimed the projected exercise was aimed to strengthen the combat readiness to carry out a combined air operation.

This exercise is also reportedly designed to improve the exchange of intelligence between the U.S. and the puppet air forces and boost the capability for carrying out tactical and mutual operations, etc. This kind of drill was conducted in March this year when Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military exercises were staged and several similar drills took place afterwards.

These madcap military exercises being staged by the U.S. imperialists and south Korean warmongers to mount preemptive attacks on the DPRK are driving the situation on the Korean Peninsula to an extreme pitch of tension.
