Here’s a look at the history of the F-16, a respected fighter with a proven combat record.

South Korea agreed this month to purchase 20 additional F-35A Lightning II fighter jets to respond to “power imbalances” stemming from North Korea’s nuclear and missile threats, according to a news release Wednesday from the Ministry of National Defense procurement agency.

An Air Force stealth bomber that took its maiden flight last month is a “very serious” nuclear threat that demonstrates Washington’s willingness to carry out preemptive strikes, a North Korean newspaper reported Thursday.

An Air Force bomber returned to South Korean airspace with U.S. and South Korean fighter jets in tow Wednesday, nearly a month after one landed in the country for the first time in at least 30 years.

The top military leaders for the United States and South Korea reaffirmed their alliance Monday and pledged to expand the scope of their military partnership with allies in the face of North Korea’s ballistic missile tests.

The Air Force on Guam recently completed a $2.4 million restoration for a parachute drying tower that’s having a significant impact on bomber task force missions, effectively quadrupling the turnaround time on drying B-52 parachutes, according to a wing spokesperson.

Long-range, nuclear-capable bombers have touched down on Guam, where they’re slated to take on a series of missions meant to hone their crews’ skills and project U.S. airpower across the Indo-Pacific.

The U.S., South Korean and Japanese air forces have carried out a rare aerial drill involving a nuclear-capable bomber.

Russian bombers and fighters flew a seven-hour mission over the Sea of Japan, Russia’s defense ministry announced the same day President Vladimir Putin arrived in Beijing for talks with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.

The B-52 landing, as well as the planned overflights of South Korea, will definitely get the attention of their neighbors to the north.
