South Korean military and the U.S. began aerial maneuvers today to coordinate actions of an alleged search and rescue pilot trapped in enemy territory, in full tension with North Korea. According to South Korean news agency Yonhap, the scenario exercises are the southwestern province of Jeolla, away from the volatile border with communist North Korean regime.
The maneuvers are the largest undertaken so far to simulate a rescue of captive riders and with the participation of two Sikorsky HH-60 helicopters, four South Korean KF-16 fighters, four F-4 training jets and six F-5 A -10C anti-tank weaponry. The United States has deployed in South Korea about 28 thousand 500 soldiers as a deterrent against North Korea since the end of the Korean War (1950-53), which ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty.
From next Monday until March 10, the armies of South Korea and EU begin their annual joint maneuvers in order to repel a hypothetical North Korean attack. The regime of Kim Jong-il is often harshly criticize this type of exercises which a trial accused of invasion of its territory. The tension between the two Koreas has increased to its highest level in 2010 after the collapse in March of Korean corvette "Cheonan, which killed 46 sailors and Seoul attributed to North Korea.
To this was added in November, the North Korean artillery barrage on the South Korean island of Yeonpyeong, in the Yellow Sea, which left four dead and has so far thwarted the resumption of a dialogue between the two Koreas.
