The US military stationed in South Korea and the US military stationed in Japan constitute the two sharp daggers of the United States in creating conflicts in the Asia-Pacific region. Compared with the U.S. ** team on the isolated island, we are much more "familiar" with the U.S. ** team stationed in South Korea, because they have been fighting for more than ten years.
Among the South Korean armies, there are many troops, among them is the "8th Army" of the United States, whose air power is called the "7th Air Force", and they are stationed at the largest airport in South Korea, the largest airport in Asia, Yamakyo Airport. Located on the western coast of South Korea, facing the Yellow and East Seas, the airport is the most important U.S. airport on the Korean Peninsula. The base has been equipped with more than 30 F-16 fighters, namely the F16C D series fighters, for many years.
However, if more than 20 years ago, the combat effectiveness of this fighter may have been quite good, but now, as the air forces of various countries have begun to "stealth", this kind of fighter is a little "not enough". The F-16 is a very good fighter, but it is a product of the Cold War era (the first products of the Buck 40 series were not manufactured until 1988), and it is not an exaggeration to describe the "old" American fighter jets in South Korea.
Therefore, in this case, there is nothing to be surprised that those retired American fighters "had an accident". On New Year's Day, the U.S. ** team in South Korea "had an accident". An F-16 fighter jet in the Han Mountains crashed into the sea at 8:40 a.m. local time, and although the pilot narrowly escaped, it was likely destroyed. It was also the first time that the United States lost a warplane.
In fact, the US F16 fighter jets in South Korea appear every once in a while, since the last day, that is, more than two months ago. In the past few days, the United States has been conducting large-scale military exercises on the border with the DPRK, and the troops of the United States, the United States, South Korea, and South Korea will all be present near the Korean Peninsula. And the real ruler located in the south of the Korean Peninsula, in the recent large-scale transfer, has serious problems in terms of maintenance and maintenance, which is the main reason why there are so many surprises in this war, that is, in the Korean region.
Although the United States has declined, it still wants to create conflicts and wage war on a global scale, and even uses an old fighter plane on the Korean Peninsula that has been retired for decades.
