Since the beginning of this year, North Korea has frequently tested missiles to stir up regional tensions. The recent provocative actions have become more and more obvious, causing the United States, Japan and South Korea to be highly vigilant. This exercise is quite intended to deter North Korea and send a warning to Pyongyang.

It is reported that during the military exercise, 1,600 fighter aircraft are expected to be dispatched to conduct simulated attacks.

In addition, the Australian Air Force also dispatched KC-30A aerial tankers to participate in the military exercise, and the F-35B fighter jets stationed at the Iwakuni base in Japan will also land at the US military base in South Korea for the first time, which has been heatedly discussed.
