US military planes fly out of S KoreaASSET REDLOYMENT? Data from the Flightradar24 Web site indicated that US military transport planes, including C-17 and C-5s, flew out of South Korea’s Osan Air Base in Pyeongtaek, one as recently as Saturday. The potential redeployment of military assets from South Korea would underscore how the Iran conflict might strain missile-defense inventories. On Friday, South Korean Minister of Foreign Affairs Cho Hyun confirmed that Seoul was in talks with US Forces Korea over the possible redeployment of weapons systems. The defense ministry declined to comment on US military operations when reached by Bloomberg News.
