또 동해 활보하며 훈련하는 북러... 한미일 공조에도 막을 방법은 제로?

【Anchor】 Signs have been detected that North Korea and Russia, having established military cooperation at the level of an alliance, have once again pushed ahead with air exercises in the East Sea. The location was near the airspace where U.S. Forces Korea (USFK) F-16 fighter jets conducted training earlier this month, raising serious concerns as there is no effective way to stop it. Reporter Gal Tae-woong reports. 【Reporter】 A Tu-95 fighter-bomber heading south after takeoff. It is being escorted by Sukhoi fighter jets. This is Russian air power maneuvering in the East Sea. On the 21st, two unidentified fighter jets were spotted together. They flew in from the Russian Far East, headed southeast, then turned north to return. This was near the airspace where USFK fighter jets had conducted training earlier this month. Experts believe this is linked to North Korea. This is because similar circumstances have been occurring repeatedly since the automatic military intervention clause between North Korea and Russia was reinstated in 2024. [Lee Young-soo / Then-Chief of Staff of the Air Force (October 2024): (Are there any signs that North Korean fighter jets are conducting joint exercises toward Russia over the East Sea?) It would be difficult for me to confirm that at this time.] Ultimately, the United States has been replacing F-16 fighter jets at nearby bases in Japan with F-35A fighter jets since March. [Takehiro Morita / Chief of Staff of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (March 3): In terms of being able to deepen training between us and countries operating the F-35, taking into account characteristics such as stealth capabilities and the fusion of various sensor information…] Nevertheless, deterrence is not easy. Even responding to Russian-backed weapons in border regions, such as drones and ballistic missiles, is overwhelming right now. [Ahn Kyu-baek / Minister of National Defense (the 26th of last month): Since North Korea is also currently receiving technology transfer from Russia, we urgently need to actively respond to such various changes in the war and operational environment…] .] South Korea-U.S.-Japan cooperation also remains limited due to the issue of flights around Dokdo.
