S. Korea to conduct solo air exercise in December
South Korea will carry out its own air force drill as scheduled in December,... despite the possible suspension of an upcoming joint air defense exercise with the United States.
According to Seoul's defense ministry on Sunday,... the annual Seoul-Washington air exercise, Vigilant Ace,... which had been scheduled for December is highly likely to be suspended due to the ongoing peace efforts with the North.
However, the defense ministry says no changes will be made to the drill to be staged by the South Korean Air Force.
If suspended, Vigilant Ace would be the latest of several joint exercises that have been called off this year to promote dialogue with North Korea.
