America takes stealth aircraft to Japan

The Bush administration has brought the latest stealth fighter stealth aircraft to Japan - this is the first time this aircraft has been deployed abroad, just days after North Korea agreed to sign. a deal on nuclear.

The two F-22A Raptor, capable of blinding radar, flying at supersonic speeds, landed on the Japanese island of Okinawa. The island is strategically located for the Korean peninsula and the Taiwan Strait.

Ten more aircraft will be taken to Kadena US military base on the island today, serving for a short time, possibly for exercises in Japan and South Korea.

The US deployment of stealth aircraft and 250 accompanying personnel has sparked protests in North China and Okinawa - where people oppose the presence of US soldiers.

The US military has said that there are currently no fighter jets against the Raptor in terms of its ability to attack targets in the air or under the ground, but still not detected by radar.

"For these aircraft, US military power in the Far East is higher than ever , " commented Haruo Fujii, a Japanese military analyst. "This shows the clear intention of the United States to achieve absolute military superiority in the region, and their key goal is of course the Korean peninsula".

Pyongyang strongly condemned this implementation, considering it a US tactic in negotiations. However, earlier this week, the negotiating parties reached an agreement whereby Pyongyang closed its major nuclear facilities in exchange for oil.
