Placing the stealth fighters there are strategic....
There are attempts to sow discords between SK , JP and USA...
So by sending there , it reinforces US's image as an ally ...
US also have some naval forces based in Japan..
SK , given the close proximity to NK and China ..would be able to react better in case of China causing trouble.
Anyway , Japan has relocated it's F-15 jets nearer towards China...and placed some of the older F-4 jets away.
15 Stealth Fighters...awesome..
i guess now , all north korean pilots and chinese pilots will be flying more sorties ....
Since they have to visually sight the stealth aircraft..
it is still hard to detect with the naked eye, cause during missions the F117 most likely will fly at night, furthurmore the pilots will maintain strict radio silence...
