The North Korean propaganda media repeatedly criticized the combined exercises, including the 'comprehensive combat readiness training' conducted by the ROK and US air forces recently.
Tongil Shinbo, a weekly magazine for external use, pointed out the joint aerial training in the poem 'The sword of confrontation forged in the outer skin of peace' yesterday (6th) and said, "These reckless reckless acts that go against the peace of the Korean peninsula are what the South Korean authorities say is 'peace'. It is telling us that they are not taking their swords to harm their people.”
The media said, "The South Korean authorities reiterate that 'the armed forces of the US mainland do not participate, reduce the size of the training and proceed privately', but the name change does not change its aggressive nature, and they do not disclose it just because the scale has been reduced. Therefore, the nature of confrontation cannot be weakened or masked.”
He continued, "Unless we root out the hostile views and policies that sharpen the sword of confrontation with our fellow Koreans in the guise of 'peace', the prejudiced view and double attitude toward 'the main enemy' by the South Korean authorities, even though they say they are kin, the peace on the Korean peninsula will only keep getting farther away. will do,” he claimed.
The ROK and U.S. military authorities conducted the 'Comprehensive Combat Readiness Training', a combined aerial exercise from the 1st to the 5th, in private, and reduced the scale by not including the forces deployed in the US mainland and not conducting live-fire drills.
