A U.S. strategic bomber B-52 landed in South Korea for the first time Tuesday, after it staged a commemorative flight over a biennial defense trade show in the country and joint air drills with South Korean stealth fighter jets.
The deployment involved planning and executing air combat exercise missions, including offensive and defensive counter-air missions, basic fighter manoeuvres, and air-to-air refuelling with a Royal Australian Air Force KC-30A Multi-Role Tanker Transport aircrat.
The Royal Australian Air Force and Japanese Air Self Defence Force recently trained together at Exercise Bushido Guardian in Japan. This was the first time RAAF F-35A Lightning IIs travelled to Japan as part of the biennial exercise and is the first implementation of a Reciprocal Access Agreement between Japan and Australia last month.
The debris from the F-35 fighter jet that disappeared on Sunday was found two hours North of Charleston.
South Korea is looking for more F-35A fighters to bolster its fleet, as development of the KF-21 Boramae continues apace.
