Daily Mail/AFP: US flies stealth fighters and bombers over Korean peninsula in a show of force as North Korea warns sanctions are a 'hostile act' that will spur the country to 'complete nuclear force'
* Four F-35B stealth fighters and two B-1B bombers participated in the flight to act as 'deterrence' to the North
* The show of force comes after North Korea conducted its sixth nuclear test and launched a missile over Japan
* US increasing pressure on the dictatorship, with UN Ambassador Nikki Haley warning it could be 'destroyed'
* North Korea said that the UN sanctions represent 'the most vicious, unethical and inhumane act of hostility'
The US has flown stealth fighters and advanced bombers over the Korean peninsula as a show of force in the wake of North Korea's latest nuclear and missile tests.
Four F-35B stealth fighters and two B-1B bombers participated in the live-fire exercise to 'demonstrate the deterrence capability of the US-South Korea alliance against North Korea's nuclear and missile threats', South Korea's defence ministry said.
They were the first flights since the North conducted its sixth and most powerful nuclear test on September 3 before launching a missile over Japan last Friday and inflaming tensions in the region.

ReplyDeleteBob..you want to impress people? Think / read up on issues before you write nonsense :P
ReplyDeleteThey let the missile fly over part of Japan. I'm not impressed with the US position or involvement in this issue. Would they let a missile fly over part of the US? Shoot the damn things down before one become real.
