The five-day drill, which is called Vigilant Ace, is meant to improve the allies’ wartime capabilities and preparedness, South Korea’s defence ministry said. In total, 230 aircraft will be flying at eight US and South Korean military installations in the South. Such language is typical in North Korean propaganda because the country claims US-South Korean drills are preparation for invasion. While many South Koreans typically ignore North Korea’s rhetoric, some senior American officials have expressed worry following the ICBM test, North Korea’s third. “If necessary, the president and the United States will have to take care of it, because he has said he’s not going to allow this murderous, rogue regime to threaten the United States.”
