After Moscow and Pyongyang concluded a military alliance, the United States decided to "shake its muscles" at the borders of the DPRK: military exercises are held, replacing each other without stopping.

Dozens of aircraft, land combat formations and flotillas of several countries with the participation of an aircraft carrier take part in them, playing out various combat scenarios, including the development of a preventive nuclear strike. Washington's main "partners" in these maneuvers are Seoul and Tokyo.

One of the exercises was an airstrike on a simulated enemy, which was played by a small rocky island near the Korean Peninsula. The AC-130J aircraft of the US Air Force and the KF-16 accompanying it took part in the "raid" – this is the designation of the American fighters in service with Seoul.

The AC-130J Ghostrider ("Ghost Rider") refers to a type of flying batteries or "gunships" – aircraft designed to provide fire support to ground units. The usual weapons of destruction mounted on gunships are machine guns and artillery of various types of caliber. However, the Ghostrider is equipped, in addition to 30- and 105-mm guns, with high-precision aerial bombs, anti-radar missiles and Hellfire missiles.

It was the last AC-130J that struck the island. The relevant footage was shown online.
