ROK and the US started the month-long joint military exercise, "Foal Eagle", on February 28. Ronald Reagan, the most advanced nuclear powered aircraft carrier of the US is expected to take part in the drills.
The commentary said that the advanced equipment and weapons of every US aircraft carrier are enough for a war.
