An official of the south Korean "Ministry of Defense" clarified this on May 4.

He said south Korea plans to dispatch a flotilla including an Aegis destroyer and a submarine, sea-patrol plane, helicopter and even troops of the marine corps.

The south Korean bellicose forces blustered that they would stage exercises of detecting the DPRK's satellite launches, shooting missiles with different missions, anti-aircraft battle, electronic warfare and fire support with above-said huge forces involved.

The marine corps are envisaging the drills of urban warfare, combat shooting and landing operation together with the U.S. imperialist aggression forces.

It was already known that the biannual RIMPAC joint military exercises are in pursuance of the U.S. imperialists' aggression policy to attain its scenario of stifling the DPRK by blockading it from the sea.

The Lee Myung Bak group of traitors is attempting to join in the U.S. imperialist's blockade moves against the DPRK by formally dispatching the aggression troops to the dangerous war racket.
