US Deploys Supersonic Strike Bombers To North Korea In Response To Kim’s Threat
The US Air Force will be sending a force of supersonic cruise-missile capable strike bombers to their bases off the coast of North Korea.
Crazy Kim last week declared his secretive nation was now in all our war with America after the world’s leading superpower “crossed the red line” over military buildup near their borders.
But rather than be scared off by the rotund menace, the United States are doubling down.
B-1B Lancer bombers will move into the US Pacific Command’s Andersen Air Force Base on the island of Guam to replace the fleet of ageing B-52 Stratofortresses currently based there.
Rising threats from North Korea and tense face-offs with China have forced Washington’s hand and this will be the first time the Lancers have been on the island in ten years.
Around 300 US airmen will also join the squadron, but the US Air Force have not confirmed the number of bombers being dispatched.
The US Air Force said in a statement: “The B-1 units bring a unique perspective and years of repeated combat and operational experience from the Central Command theater to the Pacific
“They will provide a significant rapid global strike capability that enables our readiness and commitment to deterrence, offers assurance to our allies, and strengthens regional security and stability in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.”
The bombers have previously served conducting airstrikes in Syria smashing ISIS targets in the war against the death cult.
