The DPRK authorities do not rule out that they can show the
potential of their new means of deterrence in response to the
demonstration of force by the United States and the Republic of
Korea. This was stated by the Deputy Minister of Defense of the
DPRK, Kim Gang Il, Azernews reports.
"The United States and the Republic of Korea are resorting to a
show of force right in front of us, this is a very dangerous game
and an adventure," the deputy minister warned. "The DPRK fully
reserves the opportunity to show all its deterrence forces,
including new ones, in response to provocative attempts by the
United States and the Republic of Korea - fanatics of confrontation
- and condemns these attempts in the strongest terms," the
statement said.
Kim Gang Il cited as an example the arrival of the American
nuclear aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt in Busan on June 22, US
and Republic of Korea aviation exercises, including on June 5, when
the American B-1B strategic bomber used the JDAM bomb during
training for the first time since 2017, as well as Air Force
exercises on June 17-20 involving a "flying battery" AC-130J. Kim
Gang Il also recalled the meeting of the advisory group on nuclear
planning of the United States and the Republic of Korea.
"The United States and its henchmen, whose congenital diseases
include malicious hostility and suspiciousness, in response to the
normal development of relations between friendly sovereign states,
show symptoms similar to an epileptic seizure," the deputy minister
believes. According to him, the Republic of Korea and the United
States are engaged in "dangerous ostentatious behavior, spewing
abuse from their dirty mouths."
"They dragged their nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to the
Korean peninsula across the Pacific Ocean to our gates, certainly
not to "repair" or "celebrate" the American-South Korean alliance,"
Kim Gang Il said. On June 19, Russia and the DPRK signed a
comprehensive strategic partnership Agreement, which implies
military assistance in in the case of a defensive war.
