air force conducts joint land, sea and air exercises for simultaneous attacks

The Air Force said it conducted joint exercises in which the Army, Navy and Air Force responded together in the face of simultaneous enemy aircraft and missile attacks.

The training was organized by the Air Force Operations Command, participated by the Army Special Warfare Command and the Naval Operations Command, and was conducted with more than 70 aerial forces, including the Air Force's F-35A stealth fighters and F-15K fighters.

The training was conducted under the assumption that about 800 enemies, including manned/unmanned aircraft and missiles, were penetrated, and large-scale emergency air-blocking drills were also conducted to neutralize the enemy's missile provocation.

Cho Yong-hyun, the chief of operational training at the Air Force Operations Command, said, "We will strengthen cooperation and develop our response capabilities so that we can immediately, strongly, and until the end in the event of an enemy's provocation."
