The U. S. and South Korea announced Friday they will conduct a massive air force exercise over the Korean Peninsula next month as a notable show of force targeting North Korea – despite warnings that the Trump administration’s decision earlier this week to add North Korea to the United States’ list of state sponsors of terrorism could further provoke the isolated country.

Six F-22 Raptor stealth fighters – which are among the world’s most advanced warplanes – will be sent to South Korea for the drill, a U. S. Air Force spokesman told AFP, which reports:
The massive five-day annual exercise comes as Washington pushes what President Donald Trump has called a ‘maximum pressure campaign’ against Pyongyang over its nuclear program.
The exercise, named Vigilant Ace, starts on December 4 with 12,000 U. S. personnel and an unspecified number of South Korean airmen flying more than 230 aircraft at eight U. S. and South Korean military bases.
