South Korean fighter jets take part in Red Flag exercise in Alaska


In addition to the fighters, the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Kazakhstan sends a C-130 transport aircraft and about a hundred military personnel to the exercise.

It was originally planned that the KF-16 fighter jets would cover all the way to Alaska (its length is 7,7 thousand km) with air refueling supported by the US Air Force. But during the flight, technical problems arose (their nature was not revealed), as a result of which the planes landed to refuel at the US Air Force base Yokota, located in Japan in the southwest of Tokyo prefecture.

The international Red Flag exercise will be held from 12 on June to 23 under the command of the US Armed Forces. In addition to South Korea, it will be attended by units from Japan and Thailand.

    From heat to cold. They have few problems with Eun, so they are pulling themselves to the shores of the Russian Federation. Or is this an offer of Americans that cannot be rejected?

      After two Korean airliners in a row, any dirty tricks can be expected from them. Now they can fly next to the Russian territory.

      it’s not so funny: ... they began to conduct them since 1975 ... These are our concessions in the name of the CIA ... all our equipment is being investigated there ... I don’t remember which year (and I didn’t find it on the Internet, it’s not 89 -91 ... MiG 29 was completely handed over there), Even the Indians did not open all the possibilities of the Su 30 mk to them ... although there are a lot of things besides our equipment ...).
      It’s they who have been officially held since the 75th, and so they always have been with them .... and even for this an “aggressor” squadron was created !!! someone there was smart there .. maybe he is still alive .... I bow to talents. !!!
      There, the aggressor then advocated F-5E \ F / corresponding to all characteristics !!! attention !!!! no worse than our planes (before Mig 29 was put into operation), the difference was only in the radar ... so don't judge strictly (the pianist knows how to play ...) hi
      PS: it’s like with submarines ... all your light was lit in the computer ....: ((((

    And what have they forgotten in the north? Mattresses in a "voluntary-forced" order demonstrate the unity of allies?
    Like, there will be no disagreement between friends over the 4 "unaccounted for" missile defense systems.
