U.S. Continues Deploying Additional Air Force in S. Korea

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

   Pyongyang, January 30 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialists continue deploying various type warplanes in the air force bases of the U.S. aggressor forces in south Korea to keep them ready for actions from the outset of the year, according to a military source.
    Overseas-based F-15s and F-16s were deployed on Jan. 28 and formations of AV-8 on Jan. 15 in the U.S. air force bases in south Korea.
    Hundreds of servicemen and a wing of F-16s of the 20th combat air division belonging to the U.S. 9th Air Force based in South Carolina were recently deployed in the air force base in Kunsan of south Korea.
    Meanwhile, formations of overseas-based F/A-18 periodically flew in the air above Jik Islet in the West Sea of Korea and Thaebaek area of Kangwon Province of south Korea for the madcap exercise of making surprise air strikes at targets under the simulated conditions of a real battle.
    The above-said air force deployments are not a simple transfer of armed forces but an escalation of the moves to invade the DPRK.
    The U.S. imperialists' introduction of many war planes into south Korea from their mainland and overseas bases from the onset of the year is an extension of their scenario to militarily stifle the DPRK and another dangerous military provocation against it.
    What should not be overlooked is the fact that the U.S. imperialists openly blackmail the DPRK, even disclosing this arms build-up and war moves to media.
    This clearly indicates that much talk made by the U.S. about "dialogue" and "negotiation" in a bid to create the impression that it is interested in the improved DPRK-U.S. relations is nothing but a smokescreen to hide its policy of aggression towards the DPRK and the U.S. imperialist warmongers' scenario to invade the DPRK remains unchanged.
