The Korean and U.S. Air Forces conducted a combined flight exercise using F-35A stealth fighter jets from both countries from Monday to Thursday.
This is the first joint exercise since the Korean Air Force acquired F-35A fighter jets in 2018 that jets from both countries have participated together in an exercise.
Korea and the United States conducted the exercise to improve the performance of joint operations through practical training and to enhance the interoperability of the F-35A.
