US military authorities said Tuesday it had completed the deployment of 15 US F-117 stealth bombers to South Korea for four months of operations.
The radar-evading bombers have been deployed to a US base in Gunsan, 260 kilometers (156 miles) southwest of Seoul, the US military said in a statement.
This marked the third time that US stealth bombers had been deployed to South Korea since 2003.
The deployment was part of its "normal air expeditionary forces rotation (AEF) schedule," the statement said.
"This standard AEF deployment... provides F-117 pilots and crews with the opportnunity to train alongside F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft and conduct operations in a deployed environment that incorporates a variety of weather conditions," it said.
The F-117, equipped with laser-guided bombs and air-to-surface guided missiles, was used in operations in Panama, Kosovo and Iraq.
North Korea has denounced the deployment of the stealth jets as preparations for a preemptive nuclear strike on the communist country.
The United States and North Korea remain locked in a tense standoff over Pyongyang's nuclear weapons program.
North Korea has boycotted China-hosted nuclear disarmament talks -- which also include the United States, South Korea, Japan and Russia -- since June last year.

NEWS BRIEF: "North Korea says US Stealth bomber move signals nuclear war", Space War, June 2, 2005
"North Korea on Thursday said the deployment of 15 US F-117 Stealth bombers to South Korea was part of preparations for a preemptive nuclear strike on the country. The deployment announced by Washington last week was an unpardonable act, said the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland ... 'We... bitterly denounce the deployment of Stealth fighter bombers in South Korea by the United States as a... provocation of a war against the North and the worst malicious challenge to the Korean nation', ... This proves that the US scheme of preemptive nuclear attack is systematically going over from violent words to operational plan and from the plan to the stage of military action', the committee said."
Last week, North Korea had suddenly threatened to hit the United States with a First Strike, using her nuclear capability delivered by her ballistic missiles. This week, North Korea warned that the Bush Administration was moving its Stealth Bomber Fleet into position near the Korean Peninsula simply because she was planning an attack on North Korean nuclear facilities.
The United States and 10 other allies are also quietly assembling a naval interdiction fleet which will stop and search all vessels on the open sea "suspected" of carrying nuclear, chemical and biological materials. North Korea has repeatedly warned that such an interdiction effort would truly be considered an "act of war", prompting an "appropriate" North Korean response.
Let us review again the exact wording of the planned nuclear crisis on the Korean Peninsula during this Final Birth Pangs War called World War III.
"A hair-raising nuclear confrontation in Korea may, towards the end of the period, threaten man's very survival." [Peter Lemesurier, "The Armageddon Script", p. 223] The very fact that we are seeing the nuclear war rhetoric heating up and possibly reaching a climax should tell you that the world is heading into the "end of the period" -- the World War III occurs at the end of the period, followed by the appearance of the Masonic Christ.
