armies South Korea And USA. According to South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), a long-range missile launch by North Korea on Saturday they responded with several aerial maneuvers involving two Pentagon B-1 strategic bombers.

The application sent by JCS did not initially state the exact number B-1although the images sent to the media of the maneuvers show two bombers.

In any case, the allies seek to give a resounding response to Pyongyang with this action, since Washington often deploys only one bomber of this type on the peninsula when it intends to issue a warning to the Kim Jong-un regime.

In 2017, in the midst of escalating tensions between North Korea and former president USA The Pentagon sent two planes to Donald Trump, as happened in early November last year after Pyongyang fired more than 30 missiles in three days.

North Korea yesterday launched the Hwaseong-15 intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), the second longest potential range in its arsenal.

The projectile flew over 900 kilometers and reached an apogee of over 5,000 before falling into the waters of Japan’s Special Economic Zone (SEZ) west of Hokkaido.

North Korean authorities praised the weapons test, the first in seven weeks, noting

combined defensive capabilities

According to JCS, South Korean F-35 and F-15 fighters and American F-16s participated in today’s maneuvers.

The planes, about 10 in all, flew over the Yellow Sea and the Sea of ​​Japan (respectively called the West Sea and the East Sea in two Korea), as well as South Korean territory.

“In this case, the maneuvers demonstrated the readiness and combined defense capabilities The Republic of Korea (official name for the South) and USA by demonstrating the overwhelming strength of the alliance through the timely and immediate deployment of US deterrents on the Korean Peninsula.

“It also confirmed the unwavering commitment USA and enhanced containment commitments,” he concludes.

Extended or expanded deterrence is a commitment made by Washington last May to Seoul, which is to send US strategic assets to the Korean Peninsula “in a coordinated manner and as needed” based on the actions of the northern regime.

Repeated tests of North Korean weapons, including tactical weapons capable of hitting targets in South Korea, and doubts that Washington would immediately protect its partner if attacked, fueled debate about the need for Seoul to deploy or develop its own nuclear weapons as a deterrent, with many South Koreans supporting this option in polls.
