South Korea\u2019s acquisition of American F-35 stealth fighter jets will force North Korea to develop and test \u201cspecial armaments\u201d to destroy the new weapons, North Korea\u2019s state media said on Thursday, citing a government researcher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
South Korean authorities are \u201cimpudent and\n pitiful\u201d for \u201ctalking loudly about reconciliation and cooperation \nbetween the north and the south\u201d while buying more weapons from the \nUnited States, an unnamed policy research director at the Institute for \nAmerican Studies of North Korea\u2019s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
South\n Korea took delivery of its first two F-35 jets in March, with more \nslated to arrive this year. It has agreed to buy a total of 40 of the \nadvanced aircraft, the last to be delivered by 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
North \nKorea\u2019s latest criticism of South Korea\u2019s military acquisition as an \n\u201cextremely dangerous action which will trigger our reaction\u201d comes as \ninter-Korean relations have stalled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere is no room for doubt \nthat the delivery of \u2018F-35A\u2019, which is also called an \u2018invisible lethal \nweapon\u2019, is aimed at securing military supremacy over the neighbouring \ncountries in the region and especially opening a \u2018gate\u2019 to invading the \nnorth in time of emergency on the Korean peninsula,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe,\n on our part, have no other choice but to develop and test the special \narmaments to completely destroy the lethal weapons reinforced in south \nKorea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
