5月12日,美国空军宣布将在日本冲绳县嘉手纳基地临时部署12架F-22“猛禽”隐形战斗机,部署时间为约4个月。30日下午,美军预定部署的12架F-22战机中的首批4架已经飞抵位于冲绳县的嘉手纳美军基地。这是美军自2007年以来第3次在冲绳基地临时部署F-22战斗机,许多冲绳居民担心这会发展成事实上的长期驻守,一些人30日还举行了抗议美军部署F-22战机的集会。时值朝鲜宣布第二次成功实施地下核试验不到一周,美军举动惹人注目。 On May 12, the U.S. Air Force announced the temporary deployment of 12 F-22 Raptor stealth fighters at the Kadenaoki base in Okinawa, Japan, for about four months. On the afternoon of the 30th, the first four of the 12 F-22s scheduled to be deployed by the U.S. military have already arrived at the Kadena U.S. Army base in Okinawa Prefecture. This is the third time that the U.S. military has deployed the F-22 fighter aircraft at its Okinawa base for the third time since 2007, and many Okinawa residents are worried that it will develop into a de facto permanent presence. On the 30th, some people also held protests against the U.S. military’s deployment of F-22 fighters . At a time when North Korea announced the second successful underground nuclear test, less than a week, the U.S. military’s move caught the eye.
