    South Korea and the United States held a joint military exercise in March, and US strategic weapons arrived around
    the Korean Peninsula.
    According to Korean media reports, South Korea and the United States are about to launch joint military exercises in March, and the strategic weapons of the US military are being concentrated near
    the Korean Peninsula.
    Nuclear aircraft carriers and strategic bombers have been deployed to U.
    S.
    bases in Guam, and stealth fighters have been transferred from Alaska to U.
    S.
    bases
    in Japan.

    According to reports, the US Pacific Fleet Command reported on the 12th that the Carl Vinson nuclear aircraft carrier left its home port in San Diego and arrived at the Guam Naval Base
    on February 10.
    The aircraft carrier belongs to the Third Fleet, which governs the eastern Pacific, and this trip to the western Pacific waters is rare
    .

    A relevant person from the US military in South Korea said that "the Seventh Fleet, which governs the western Pacific, already has the aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan, which is based on the port of Yokosuka in Japan, and it is extremely rare to deploy other aircraft carrier battle groups here
    .
    "

    It is reported that the Carl Vinson was used to transport the body of al-Qaeda leader bin Laden to the Indian Ocean for burial in 2011, so it is famous all over the world
    .

    The U.
    S.
    supersonic strategic bomber B-1B Lancer, which appeared on the Korean Peninsula after North Korea's fifth nuclear test last September, also arrived at Anderson Air Force Base
    in Guam on February 6.

    The US military newspaper "Stars and Stripes" quoted relevant people in the Air Force as saying that "this move is a circular deployment of the nature of strategic deterrence" and "has the purpose of participating in (joint) exercises", suggesting that the weapon may be sent to the Korean Peninsula
    again.

    It is reported that the "Lancer" can reach the sky over the Korean Peninsula in only 2 hours after departing from Guam, has strong mobility, and can carry about 60 tons of bombs, which has great destructive power
    .
    After reaching a nuclear disarmament agreement with Russia in the mid-90s, this type of strategic bomber has been unloaded with nuclear weapons
    .

    In addition, stealth fighters "F-22 Raptor" and "F-35 Lightning II" have also been deployed to Japan
    .
    The U.
    S.
    Air Force said 12 F-22s originally deployed in Alaska and the continental United States had arrived at Kadena in Okinawa Prefecture on Feb.
    7 and were scheduled to stay there for about
    three months.

    The F-22 is the U.
    S.
    Congression's most top-of-the-line stealth fighter to carry nuclear missiles
    .
    Two F-35Bs that arrived at Iwakuni base in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan, in January this year have recently been put into training
    .
    The F-35B, which belongs to the U.
    S.
    Marine Corps, can take off and land vertically and can conduct joint operations
    with landing ships in the event of an emergency.
