South Korea, U.S. Conduct Joint Air Resupply Exercise

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, South Korea and the United States held a joint air resupply drill on Tuesday. The objective of this exercise was to improve the ability to transfer military equipment and necessities under wartime conditions and in the event of disruptions to ground routes.

During the exercise, heavy equipment and lighter cargo were dropped from an altitude of over three thousand meters using parachutes. This operation was carried out under diverse conditions and around the clock.

The commander of the joint forces of the two countries stated that the aim of this drill is to increase the safety of transport aircraft and improve the process of recovering cargo by ground forces. It is also planned to utilize transport drones in future exercises.

South Korea and the United States regularly conduct joint exercises. These drills are considered by North Korea as a move to attack the country, while Seoul and Washington emphasize their defensive nature.

The United States currently has approximately 28,500 military personnel stationed in South Korea.
