The joint military exercise conducted by US and South Korean forces involved the deployment of hundreds of troops and dozens of tanks, artillery systems and aircraft.
Washington and Seoul once again demonstrated how much they care about peace on the Korean Peninsula by staging a massive live-fire military exercise on South Korean soil just off the border with North Korea, a country well known for considering moves such as antagonistic and provocative.
During the exercise, the United States and South Korea deployed some 2,500 troops and 610 pieces of military equipment such as tanks, artillery systems, attack helicopters, fighter jets and drones, according to a statement issued by the South Korean Ministry of Defense and carried by the media.
The drills involved simulated strikes against North Korean frontline assets, apparently in response to an attack, with the South Korean Defense Ministry boasting that their aim would be to bring “peace in overwhelming force”.
The military exercise in question has become the largest of the so-called “combined annihilation firepower exercises”, a series of exercises that have taken place since 1977.
North Korean media has already called the drills a “typical war rehearsal aimed at North Korea” and promised there would be consequences, making the remarks last week before the drill actually began.
The United States and South Korea have a long-standing tradition of holding joint military exercises around the Korean peninsula and then acting with surprise when North Korea does not like such moves on its doorstep.
At least one media outlet has previously observed that Pyongyang usually reacts to such exercises “with tests of missiles and other weapons”, apparently suggesting that it will be no different this time.
