PYONGYANG, June 5 (Xinhua) -- Kim Jong Un,
the top leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), has called
on the country's air force to be ready to strike aircraft carriers, the
official media reported Monday.
While guiding the combat flight contest among
commanding officers of the Korean People's Army Air and Anti-Air Force-2017,
Kim said that "fighter pilots successfully performed diverse artistry
flights, their flights were wonderful and they fully showed scientific flying
and perfect aviation," said the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
The contest was aimed at "training all
the flight commanding officers to be a-match-for-a-hundred fighters capable of
destroying any targets including enemy aircraft carriers ... and encouraging
all the army to be combat-ready for national reunification," said the
KCNA.
The contest was held separately among a group
of division or brigade commanders, a group of commanders of pursuit fighters,
bomber and raider regiments, a group of commanders of light transport planes,
helicopter and education aircraft regiments and a group of young graduates of
pilot-training institutions, the KCNA reported without specifying the date of
the event.
The contest took place while the United
States is holding extended naval exercises with South Korea off the South
Korean coast with aircraft carrier Carl Vinson participating in them.
