The US will deploy B-1B Lancer bombers over Korean Peninsula for joint aerial drills with U. S. and South Korean fighters, Yonhap News reports, citing military authorities.
The B-1B squadron will fly from the Anderson Air Force Base in Guam today, and will be deployed to participate in the United States Air Force’s « Vigilant Ace » which as we reported over the weekend is the “largest-ever” joint US aerial drill to be held together with South Korea. The squadron of tactical bombers will practice bombing runs under the cover of South Korean warplanes.
As Yonhap adds, « as a strategic weapon, the B-1B is participating in this training, with the intensity of the pressure felt by North Korea seemingly near its peak. B-1B flew over the Korean peninsula on February 2, ahead of US President Donald Trump’s visit.
