The U.S. Air Force has released an unusual scene of aerial refueling of fighter jets over the Korean Peninsula, and analysis is coming out that it is a warning message to North Korea, which has been provoking armed forces every day.
The video information distribution system (DVIDS) operated by the U.S. Department of Defense released an aerial refueling scene during combat training over the Osan Air Base in Gyeonggi Province on the 2nd.
The released photo shows a KC-135 aerial tanker refueling an F-16 fighter.
It is unusual for the U.S. military to disclose footage of an aerial refueling exercise over the Korean Peninsula.
In particular, there is an interpretation that the photo was taken as a warning message to North Korea because it was taken three days after the launch of the North Korean medium-range ballistic missile 'Hwasong-12'.
U.S. Forces Korea also posted on Facebook a photo of Paul Lacamera, commander of the Combined Forces Command, visiting the U.S. 8th Fighter Wing in Gunsan, Jeollabuk-do on the 4th.
In the published photos, the Joint Precision Direct Strike Ammunition (JDAM) is displayed and mounted on a fighter, and air-to-air missiles are also captured.
