U.S. Aerial War Exercises under Fire

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

   Pyongyang, March 16 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialists are now busy with the aerial war games against the DPRK, swiftly deploying the flying corps in south Korea, according to a military source.
    They already sent a squadron of F-16s from the U.S. mainland to its air force base in south Korea and recently deployed 16 F/A-18s there.
    It is a very ill-boding military movement that such swift deployment was carried out after they moved overseas-based F-16s, U-2 and HC-130s to south Korea in the wake of the Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military exercises for aggression on the DPRK.
    Those warplanes reinforced by over 40 are now hell-bent on such madcap military exercises as raid operation aimed at strike on the important strategic targets of the DPRK, close air support and aerial combat in coordination with F-16s and A-10s of the U.S. 7th Air Force present in south Korea, rendering the situation of the Korean Peninsula more strained.
    In the meantime, pursuit-assault planes based in Iwakuni of Japan are conducting almost every day the actual war exercises of making long-distance flight in formation of two or more planes to the firing range in Sangdong of south Korea and returning to their base after dropping bombs, kicking up a war atmosphere.
    Such air war exercises are being staged under the situation in which the U.S. imperialist war maniacs still keep in south Korea their forces of three services involved in the madcap Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military exercises. This goes to prove that they are seeking an actual war.
    The army and people of the DPRK are always keeping a sharp eye on the reckless war moves of the U.S. imperialists.
    The U.S. should withdraw its aggression forces from south Korea at once and take practical measures to halt the war games before talking about "detente" and "peace".
