The US Air Force will be sending a force of supersonic cruise-missile capable strike bombers to their bases off the coast of North Korea.

Crazy Kim last week declared his secretive nation was now in all our war with America after the world’s leading superpower “crossed the red line” over military buildup near their borders.

But rather than be scared off by the rotund menace, the United States are doubling down.

B-1B Lancer bombers will move into the US Pacific Command’s Andersen Air Force Base on the island of Guam to replace the fleet of ageing B-52 Stratofortresses currently based there.

Rising threats from North Korea and tense face-offs with China have forced Washington’s hand and this will be the first time the Lancers have been on the island in ten years.

Around 300 US airmen will also join the squadron, but the US Air Force have not confirmed the number of bombers being dispatched.

The US Air Force said in a statement: “The B-1 units bring a unique perspective and years of repeated combat and operational experience from the Central Command theater to the Pacific

“They will provide a significant rapid global strike capability that enables our readiness and commitment to deterrence, offers assurance to our allies, and strengthens regional security and stability in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.”

The bombers have previously served conducting airstrikes in Syria smashing ISIS targets in the war against the death cult.

Chubby dictator Kim may be flexing his muscles test firing nuclear weapons towards Japan, but the island empire is not being intimidated as they bolster their missile defence systems.

Kim’s man in Europe warned the jolly despot’s nukes could be ready to fly in ten minutes, but this weekend the leader was busy touring a fish factory and fuming over the number of snakes in North Korea.

Daily Star Online exclusively revealed Kim's first target should the nukes start flying after the secretive nation unwittingly revealed it in a photoshoot.
