US B-1B bomber flies over Korean Peninsula in show of force – S. Korean media
An American B-1B Lancer strategic bomber and F-22 Raptor stealth fighter jets accompanied by South Korean military aircraft have conducted simulated bombing drills in the skies over South Korea amid rising tensions on the peninsula, Yonhap News Agency says.
The maneuvers are part of the unprecedented joint air force Vigilant Ace 18 drills, which kicked off Monday.
The drills staged by the US and South Korea are featuring hundreds of warplanes conducting mock attacks on North Korean nuclear and missile objects in different war time scenarios, but claimed to have “defensive nature.”
It is not clear how many B-1B aircraft joined the drills, one or more, the Korean media said.
