Involved there are more than 200 000 troops of the units of corps-level, fleet command-level and air division-level of the south Korean puppet army and over 10 000 U.S. soldiers.

They plan to mobilize the U.S. latest nuclear carrier, F-22 Stealth fighter bombers, long-range B-52 strategic bombers and others in the exercise.

The plan involving the huge forces envisages boosting the U.S. rapid deployment ability, capacity of the south Korean army for waging a war and the capacity of the U.S. and south Korean forces for carrying out operations in a coordinated way.

The military exercises are offensive drills including maneuvers, specialized operation exercise and landing exercise in the sky and seas and on land in south Korea.

More than 8 000 U.S. reinforcements are now reportedly moving to the Korean Peninsula from the mainland, the Asia-Pacific region, Japan and other areas as part of the military exercises.

The military exercises that kicked off according to the offensive plan against the DPRK create a touch-and-go situation on the Korean Peninsula amid the racket for "sanctions" on the DPRK that has been stepped up by the U.S. and its allies in serious violation of the sovereignty of the Korean nation.

In case irretrievable consequences are entailed by the joint military exercises, the U.S. imperialists and the south Korean warmongers are bound to meet the fate of tiger moths.
