F-22 Raptors in Korea

An F-22 Raptor stealth aircraft takes off from an airbase in the southwestern city of Gwangju, Wednesday. The U.S. has sent eight F-22 jets to South Korea for the Max Thunder joint exercise, which kicks off its two-week run May 11. But some experts say the deployment is aimed at stepping up pressure on North Korea ahead of an upcoming summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. / Yonhap
