North Korea has warned the US its ‘belligerent bravado’ will only ‘erupt our will for revenge’ after America flew bombers and fighter jets close to the country’s border.
The Pentagon said the squadron’s flypast was the farthest north of the Korean Demilitarized Zone that any U.S. fighter jet or bomber has flown in the 21st century.
Pyongyang has finally responded to the military exercise, on Saturday, by calling it an ‘extremely dangerous act, designed to drive the situation of the Korean Peninsula to extremes’.
It comes as experts warned that the rapid progress in nuclear tests ordered by tyrant Kim Jong-un poses a new level of threat to the international community.
In a show of force on Saturday, U.S. Air Force B-1B Lancer bombers escorted by fighters flew east of North Korea.
The supersonic B-1B bombers have elaborate electronic countermeasures and are usually escorted by four F-15 fighters, which are likely to prevail in any air combat with North Korea’s aging air force, said Bruce Bennett, a military expert at the Rand Corporation think tank.
Today, a state-run North Korean propaganda outlet slammed the exercise and called it an ‘anti-Pyongyang provocation that cannot be overlooked in the least.’
In a commentary called ‘Provocative behavior that arouses tens of millions of people’s will for revenge’, overseas media outlet Uriminzokkiri said: ‘The U.S. belligerent bravado will only fiercely erupt our will for revenge.’
