According to military sources, the use of military aircraft is inevitable in the plan. At Andersen airport on Guam island, there are 6 B-1B Lancer aircraft present. The aircraft here have participated in 11 training flights, simulating the attack on North Korea. The most recent exercise took place on August 7.

The Pentagon also stressed that the US and its allies have strong, precise defense and attack capabilities. The US currently has 28,500 troops in South Korea to counter the threat from North Korea. Japan has about 54,000 US military personnel. Tens of thousands of Americans work in both countries.

The Pentagon believes that if the US really tries to attack North Korea, all the most advanced military weapons will be applied such as spy planes, fighter jets, reconnaissance planes... The top targets will be about 20 military facilities of North Korea. Besides, US intelligence has precise data on the location of these bases. Part of the information was collected in analyzing activities from the most recent missile tests of North Korea.

US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis affirmed: "North Korea's actions cannot "outdo" the US. They will lose any arms race they initiate."
