Today, warplanes from three nations flew a coordinated simulated combat mission designed to show solidarity in the face of the latest North Korean missile test. The flight involved heavy bombers flying from the Pacific island of Guam all the way to a bombing range on the Korean Peninsula, escorted by fighters from the United States, South Korea, and Japan.


Two U.S. Air Force B-1B bombers temporarily based at Guam flew north to South Korea, laden with satellite JDAM bombs. The bombers were escorted by Japan Air Self Defense Force F-15J Eagle air superiority fighters. U.S. Marine Corps F-35B Joint Strike Fighters based at Iwakuni, Japan joined up with the bombers mid-flight, and the aerial task force was accompanied by Republic of Korea F-15K Slam Eagle fighters for the last leg.
