According to the data of «arms transfer and defence trade in the fiscal year 2024» opened to the public by the US Department of State some time ago, the external military sales of the United States for assisting its allies with weapons amounted to 117.9 billion US dollars in the last fiscal year, which is 45.7 percent increase as against the previous year. The US Department of State said it is the highest record of the yearly external military sales to the allies up to now.
Last year the United States got frantic with the efforts to keep up and expand the Ukrainian War by sending the Zelenskiy clique ultramodern hardware that cost a considerable sum of money including long-range strike means in a bid to reverse the military inferiority in the war. It handed over even mass destruction weapons to the Israeli Zionists, instigating bloody massacre in the Gaza Strip.
US up-to-date sea patrol planes were transferred with due ceremony in the Republic of Korea last July and the sale of 3.5 billion US dollars worth of latest offensive helicopter AH-64E and related articles was approved in August and the sale of 4.92 billion US dollars worth of AWACS in November. This clearly proves that the US moves to arm the puppets with its weapons and drive them to the confrontation and war with the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea have gone far beyond the red line.
Such moves of the United States continued this year, too. Recently, the United States officially notified the approval of two cases of weapon sale to the Republic of Korea. According to it, the sale includes 170.6 million US dollars worth of hardware such as latest drones to be delivered to the ROK Navy and 350 million US dollars worth of weapon parts.
The United States is making more frantic efforts to sell a lot of weapons to the Republic of Korea, talking about so-called «security improvement» and «increase of military capability», with a sinister intention to disrupt the balance of forces in the region and consolidate its hegemonic position.
Any weapon assistance by the United States can never save the Republic of Korea from the fate of strategic inferiority and the US shameless and ferocious ambition for killing two birds with one stone, which is getting more undisguised with each passing day, will never be realized thanks to our just strength, the commentary stressed.
