The U.S. Air Force's most advanced jet fighters are ready to strike North Korea as tensions rise to even higher levels after Pyongyang’s latest ballistic missile test last week.
"We are ready to go right now. Hundred percent," Col. Scott Jobe, commander of the 35th Fighter Wing, told CBS News during a recent exercise at the Misawa Air Base, about 400 miles north of Tokyo.
Jobe's 44 F-16 stealth fighters would likely be the first jets to be deployed to take out enemy air defenses and radars in the event of a war with North Korea.
