It was reported that South Korea and the USA held joint military exercises in the East Sea against North Korea’s threats.
According to Yonhap news, in the statement made by the South Korean navy, it was stated that the exercise that started yesterday in the East Sea will last 4 days.
In the statement, it was stated that 10 warships from the South Korean navy, the destroyer “ROKS Seoae Ryu Seong-ryong” and the destroyer “Rafael Peralta” from the US navy participated in the exercise.
In addition to the ships, the statement also stated that South Korea’s P-3 type warplane, used against submarines, F-15K and FA-50 warplanes, and the USA’s A-10 type attack planes were also included in the exercise.
In the statement, it was noted that the units were working on strategies in response to “search, destruction of enemy submarines” and “detachments of special units”.
On the other hand, the statement pointed out that the East Sea, where the exercise was carried out, facilitated the actions of submarine vehicles because it was deeper than the waters surrounding the Korean Peninsula.
