SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA (AP) Dec 20 The US could carry nuclear weapons in a show of force against North Korea on Tuesday as North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s powerful sister mocked and threatened allegations against her military. flew powerful bombers and advanced stealth jets. Military Strike Full Range ICBM Test.

South Korea’s Defense Ministry said the deployment of US B-52 bombers and F-22 stealth fighters for joint exercises with South Korean fighters was an agreement to protect South Korea by all available means, including nuclear weapons. said to be part of

The drill, which included South Korean F-35 and F-15 fighter jets, took place in waters southwest of Jeju Island, the ministry said. US F-22 fighter jets will be deployed to South Korea for the first time in four years and will remain there throughout the week for training with South Korean forces, the sources said.

The drills come after North Korea claimed to have launched a test satellite for the development of its first military spy satellite, most recently testing a solid-fuel engine for a more maneuverable intercontinental ballistic missile. North Korea has launched a record number of missiles already this year as a warning of previous US-South Korea military exercises it sees as rehearsals for an invasion. There are concerns that new missile tests may be conducted in response to recent Allied aviation training.

North Korea said Sunday’s missile launch was a test of its first system of military reconnaissance satellites and released two low-resolution photos of South Korean cities from space. said the photos were too crude for surveillance purposes and that the launch likely masked North Korea’s missile technology. South Korea’s military said North Korea had launched two intermediate-range ballistic missiles. Yo-Jung Kim said the test satellite had a commercial camera because there was no reason to use an expensive, high-definition camera for single-shot testing. She said North Korea used two old missiles as launch vehicles.

A senior official of the ruling Workers’ Party Kim Yo-jong said, “When they commented on our satellite development capabilities and related preparations with only two photos in our newspaper, their assessment was too unfavourable. I think they thought it was rational and irrational,” he said. In statements circulated in state media?

Kim Yo-jong wonders how, if North Korea really lacked re-entry technology, how could it have obtained data from a nuclear warhead until it landed in a marine target area on an earlier launch. presented.

All of North Korea’s ICBM tests were conducted at steep angles to avoid neighbouring countries. Some experts say the reliability of North Korea’s weapons cannot be guaranteed without the launch of a standard ballistic ICBM.

Regarding these doubts, Kim Yo Jong suggested that North Korea could launch her ICBM in a normal trajectory. This launch could be seen as a greater provocation for the United States as the weapon heads for the Pacific.

North Korea is one of the most sanctioned countries in the world due to its nuclear and missile programs. But Kim Yo Jong said Tuesday that North Korea is determined to boost its defences at any cost.
