The norks are at it again! What amazes me is the norkAF was able to fly 12 sorties. It's not like they get to fly alot, like twice a year... at least it used to be that way.
ROKAF responded with 30 fighters. Not sure on how they have their squadrons organized now, but 18-24 fighters per squadron is pretty standard. Considering in Iceland the 57th Fighter Interceptor Squadron had 20 aircraft with 4 on alert all the time... 30 is a bunch of fighters to launch.
"Undisclosed" location of the fighters. WP on the tail is 8th Fighter Wing at Kunsan Air Base (Wolf Pack.)
