South Korea showed off its F-35 fighter jets seen by North Korea as a threat<\/strong><\/p>\n

South Korea\u00a0displayed some of its recently purchased US-made F-35 stealth fighter jets for the first time during its Armed Forces Day ceremony on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

President Moon Jae-in reviewed military planes including an F-35, missiles and artillery systems that were displayed at an airbase in southeastern South Korea.<\/p>\n

In a televised speech, Moon said he felt \u201csecure about the might of our military armed with new equipment such as F-35As that we disclosed for the first time.\u201d He said South Koreans would also be \u201cvery proud\u201d of the military capacity.<\/p>\n

South Korea\u00a0will be acquiring\u00a040 F-35 fighter jets from Lockheed Martin<\/a><\/span> by 2021. The first few batches of the aircraft arrived in the South this year.<\/p>\n

North Korea has sharply reacted to the deliveries, calling them a serious provocation that violates recent inter-Korean agreements aimed at lowering military tensions.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>North Korea has long criticized the South’s weapons acquisitions and its joint military drills with the US\u00a0military as undisguised preparations for war that were forcing it to develop new short-range missiles.<\/p>\n

Nuclear diplomacy largely remains hampered since the second summit between Kim and President Donald Trump in Vietnam in February collapsed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
