U.S. and S. Korean Warhawks Kick off RSOI and Foal Eagle Joint Military Exercises

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

   Pyongyang, March 26 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialists and the south Korean warhawks started RSOI and Foal Eagle joint military exercises Monday, according to military sources.
    No sooner had an emergency order been issued that day than at least 29,000 U.S. imperialist aggressors and three services of the south Korean troops including U.S. imperialist aggressors present in south Korea and overseas-based Striker unit, a rapid deployment force, and the 25th Infantry Division of the First Army Corps got combat ready all at once and an airborne special warfare brigade belonging to the "Special Warfare Command" and "commandoes" of a commando brigade were infiltrated into the imaginary theatres of combat actions to perform their missions to strike different provinces, cities and counties of the DPRK.
    Earlier the U.S. imperialist aggressors deployed three guided missile destroyers and a mixed landing helicopter carrier, dock landing craft, dock landing transport ships in the East Sea of Korea, "Blue Ridge", the flagship of the Seventh Fleet, two guided missile destroyers in the West Seat of Korea, and at least ten combat ships including the task force of "Ronald Reagan", nuclear-powered super-large carrier, in the South Sea of Korea. With the start of the war exercises, they deployed the task force of the carrier in the waters off Uljin on the East coast and launched a joint marine operation in coordinated operation with Fleets Nos. 1, 2 and 3 of the south Korean navy and marine corps.
    Meanwhile, overseas-based F-117 Stealth fighter bombers, F-15 fighter bombers, F/A-18 pursuit and assault planes and flying corps of the U.S. Seventh Air Force in south Korea staged madcap exercises of intensive air strike in coordinated operation with flying corps of the south Korean forces, inciting a war atmosphere.
    U.S. naval and air forces based around the Korean Peninsula are ready to take part in these war maneuvers, formations of pursuit and assault planes have been busy with the drills under the simulated conditions of flying into the air above the areas of Nyongwol and Thaebaek of south Korea from Japan and striking ground targets before flying back to their bases.
    Having been deployed to be ready to go into action, the U.S. imperialist aggressors are set to launch exercises of making air strikes to neutralize the war capacity of the DPRK before going over to ground attack operation in coordinated operation with the south Korean forces and, at the same time, stage drills of landing on the East and West coasts to invade the DPRK.
    Due to this reckless play with fire the situation on the peninsula remains so tense that a war may break out there any moment.
