USA and South Korea showed air power during the U.S. official visit to Seoul.

During a visit by U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman, who indicated a forceful and unequivocal reaction if North Korea conducted a nuclear test, South Korea and the U.S. performed a combined air power display on Tuesday.

The display, which included 20 airplanes, including F-35A stealth fighter fighters, came a day after the allies fired eight surface-to-surface missiles off the east coast of South Korea in response to North Korea’s firing of short-range ballistic missiles on Sunday.

The South Korean military said that “South Korea and the United States demonstrated their strong ability and determination to strike any North Korean provocation quickly and accurately,” adding that the allies are closely monitoring and preparing for any further provocation by the North.

Sherman made the announcement hours after meeting in Seoul with her South Korean colleague, Cho Hyun-dong, to address North Korea.

After a five-year break, the hermit state has conducted missile tests, and some observers think it is poised to restart nuclear weapons testing.

“Any nuclear test would direct contravention of U.N. Security Council resolutions. Moreover, such a test would be met with prompt and harsh retaliation… I think that not just the Republic of Korea, the United States, and Japan, but the whole world, will reply forcefully and clearly “After the meeting, Sherman held a press conference. The Republic of Korea (ROK) is the official name of South Korea.

“We are prepared,” Sherman continued, “and tomorrow we will resume our trilateral talks (with South Korea and Japan).”
