Pyongyang, April 12 (KCNA) -- The largest-ever Max Thunder combined
air exercises aimed at mounting an overall air strike at the DPRK are
being staged in the sky above south Korea from April 11 to 25 in the
wake of the large-scale Ssangyong combined landing drill at a time when
the provocative Foal Eagle has reached its climax.
It was also reported that Pacific Thunder, a war drill for search
and rescue to be applied in contingency on the Korean peninsula will be
staged between April 14 and 18.
The spokesman for the National Peace Committee of Korea in a
statement on Saturday denounced the exercises as an undisguised
challenge to all Koreans desirous of improved inter-Korean relations and
peace and stability on the Korean peninsula and in Northeast Asia and
public opinions at home and abroad as they are the dangerous war
maneuvers aimed to mount a preemptive attack on the DPRK in their scale,
contents and intensity from A to Z.
The statement said:
The U.S. and the south Korean puppet warmongers are staging Max
Thunder in mid-April this year while Foal Eagle is under way though they
did it in May last year. Max Thunder involves various types of planes,
double the number of those mobilized for the previous drills, and it
lasts longer than last year. This goes to clearly prove the provocative
nature of the exercises.
No one can say when over 100 planes will mount a surprise attack on the DPRK with nuclear bombs and missiles.
The saber-rattling indicates that the scenario of the U.S. and the
puppet group to invade the DPRK has already gone beyond the danger line
and entered into a real action.
The U.S. and the puppet group are crying out for UN "sanctions" and
kicking off a conspiratorial drone racket while taking issue with the
DPRK over its regular rocket launching exercises and its steps for
bolstering up self-defensive nuclear deterrence for no reason. Timed to
coincide with this, they are staging the frantic Max Thunder as part of
Foal Eagle in the wake of Key Resolve and Ssangyong combined landing
drill aimed at "occupying Pyongyang". This goes to clearly prove that
all these maneuvers are pursuant to the premeditated and deliberate
scenario for a war against the DPRK.
While staging ceaseless war maneuvers against the DPRK with huge
aggression forces involved, the U.S. and south Korean puppet forces are
massively beefing up their aggressor forces on the peninsula and in its
vicinity and threatening and blackmailing the DPRK by force of arms,
making much fuss about its rocket launching exercises for self-defence
and reported measure for a nuclear test for protecting the national
dignity and the right to existence. These moves bring to light their
shameless and double-dealing nature.
This saber-rattling clearly indicates that "the nuclear and missile
threats" from the DPRK touted by the U.S. are aimed to justify the U.S.
nuclear war drills against the DPRK and disable its nuclear deterrence
in a bid to realize the aggressive ambition at any cost.
The saber-rattling made it clearer that the "Dresden initiative" and
the like made by the south Korean puppet group is nothing but hypocrisy
and a poor wordplay intended to realize its foolish daydream, pursuant
to the U.S. scenario for war of aggression.
There take place military exercises in various countries and regions
of the world but none of them is staged all the year round, going
beyond the danger line with huge aggressor forces involved like what is
happening in south Korea.
If the UN is to take an impartial action, it should take issue with
the dangerous U.S.-south Korea war exercises being staged in the biggest
hotspot in the world and condemn them, to begin with.
The army and people of the DPRK will never remain a passive onlooker
to these reckless war drills. Should the enemies intrude into the
inviolable territorial air of the DPRK even an inch, they will
mercilessly wipe out the enemies and reduce to ashes not only the sortie
bases but all their strongholds through deadly strikes.
The U.S. and south Korean puppet forces will be held wholly
accountable for the disastrous consequences to be entailed by this
reckless saber-rattling. -0-
