주한미군/F-117

"The U.S. Air Force on Tuesday said it will start deploying a squadron of F-117A stealth fighters and some 300 airmen in South Korea for four months..", Chosun Ilbo reported last Thursday (1.11) and on the same day it happened..

 

 

..and so JoongAng Ilbo was able to report yesterday following:

 

‘Routine' arrival of U.S. fighters here also a signal
 
F-117 stealth jets' deployment is a test of ability to react to North, analyst says

 

The arrival of a U.S. F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter squadron at Kunsan Air Base on the southwest coast Thursday has been called a "routine" deployment by U.S. officials, but one U.S. military analyst said the deployment of the unit served to test U.S. readiness to deter a North Korean threat quickly.
 
The number of arriving aircraft was not announced, but a squadron usually consists of 15 to 24 fighter planes.
 
Bruce E. Bechtol Jr., a faculty member of the Marine Corps Command and Staff College, said Wednesday in an interview that the deployment and another one of F-22 Raptor fighter planes to Japan recently had motives beyond the official explanation.
In military terms, he said, the deployments were tests of what the U.S. military calls "flexible deterrent options."
 
Mr. Bechtol said the philosophy behind the term was at least partly to ensure that an attack on South Korea by the North could be repelled quickly.
 
Other military analysts commenting on earlier deployments of stealth (radar-evading) aircraft here also served to give air crews a look at a potential combat theater and test the aircraft operating systems in the field (NK's air space..??)
 
The deployment comes at a time when speculation is mounting that North Korea may conduct a second nuclear test; its first, on Oct. 9, is generally considered to have been only partly successful.
 
Last month, six-nation talks to induce North Korea to abandon its nuclear weapons programs ended inconclusively after a year's pause in the negotiations.
Mr. Bechtol has worked as a senior analyst at the Defense Intelligence Agency and as a cryptographer at several duty posts. He worked in South Korea for four years in that capacity..

When I remember well, US military strategists/"scientists" suggested few years ago in one of the OPLAN's  (just) one way how to f.. the KPA: temporally limited violations of the DPRK air space would leed to increased activities of NK's airforce - hunt them from east to west and from north ot south and after a short while they will run out off kerosene..^^

20 additional war planes might be enough for to carry out this plan...

OPLAN 5027 - Major Theater War
OPLAN 5026 - Air Strikes
OPLAN 5029 - Collapse of DPRK
OPLAN 5030 - Rollback of DPRK
