In Japan, told about the purpose of the established US missile defense system

46
The ground-based missile defense system is aimed at protecting Japan and its citizens, will be controlled by Japan and does not pose a threat to Russia and other neighboring countries, said RIA News at the Japanese Foreign Ministry.

First of all, it is necessary to say that we refrain from commenting on the statements distributed through the media. As for the deployment of the Aegis Ashore missile defense system in Japan, the missile defense of our country is a purely defensive system aimed at protecting the lives and property of our citizens, and our country controls it, it does not pose a threat to Russia or other countries surrounded by Japan. The Japanese side reported this during the visit of Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Kono to Moscow in November during his meetings with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
- said the representative of the Foreign Ministry.



In Japan, told about the purpose of the established US missile defense system


At the same time, the Foreign Ministry emphasizes that Japan still "intends to persistently conduct negotiations to determine the ownership of the four islands," as Kunashir, Iturup, Habomai and Shikotan are called in Japan, and "conclude a peace treaty with Russia."

On Thursday, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that Japan’s decision to deploy US missile defense systems would have a negative impact on the talks on a peace treaty between Moscow and Tokyo. She urged to take into account the fact that "the aforementioned complexes are equipped with universal launchers, which are also capable of using shock weapons." Zakharova stressed that this would mean the actual violation of the treaty on the elimination of medium and short-range missiles by the Americans with the assistance of Japan.

The government of Japan, 19 December, has decided to deploy Aegis Ashore’s two US ground-based anti-missile defense systems on the territory of the country. They are planned to be deployed in Akita prefectures in the north of the country and in Yamaguchi in the south-west. It is understood that the radius of their actions will be able to cover the entire territory of the country. Each installation will cost Japan 100 billion yen (about 890 million dollars). Tokyo expects they will be commissioned before the 2023 year.

    So ... and I'm not me ... and the hut is not mine ... Of course, right now there will be anti-aircraft missiles there ... but who's stopping a couple of containers from being placed nearby ... reloading launchers on tactical missiles is a matter of tens of seconds. ... And given that similar systems are already located in Romania and Poland ... then the oil painting ...

      So our Iskanders located on the Kuril Islands do not pose a threat to Japan and "other neighboring countries"!

                      Such checks will not fundamentally change anything. While everything will be honest, the cameras will work and inspections will be carried out. As soon as they really need to replace missiles with offensive ones and the cameras are turned off and checks will be sent away. We will understand their intentions and what? The balance of power will not change this. Missiles at our borders will not become smaller.

          Dear Englishman, you will either come ... (oh, a short-sighted person), or fool around. After all, it is precisely the ABM system that the Americans are installing that just cannot be considered a purely defensive weapon. If you can read, and not just consider pictures, then I advise you to read the article more carefully. And there it is clearly said about it. I’m translating it into a simple language of a standard user - you can shove the Tomogavk into this “pipe” with a slight movement of your hand, after having previously thrown out the anti-aircraft missile from there. And voila - the complex smoothly turns into a percussion.

    Maria Zakharova said that Japan’s decision to deploy US missile defense systems will negatively affect negotiations on a peace treaty between Moscow and Tokyo.
    They wanted to spit on the negotiation process ... the issue of the "Northern Territories" is used by Japanese politicians to play on the nationalist feelings of ordinary Japanese voters during an inter-party struggle. So, if it doesn’t work out peacefully, then Japan plans to expand by taking over (maximizing military and economic weakening of Russia). Zakharova found something to frighten, because it is clear that Japan will not refuse to deploy missile defense and develop its offensive capabilities. Well, for whom then is the "peace treaty" and the prospects opened up with it more important ...?

    Structurally, the launch of this Aegis Ashor complex is a radar complex with a command post and three units for 8 missiles. Let us leave aside for now whether cruise missiles will be placed there or not. but I really liked your resume, that reloading these launchers takes a dozen seconds ... A cruise missile is taken about 6-7 meters long and weighs one and a half tons. Further, this rocket must be lifted by a crane system, and the nose of the rocket should be raised by 12-14 meters so that the bottom of the rocket could be sent to the launch cell. If you need several tens of seconds to do this, well, you are either the Lord God or his deputy.

    The cost of the TPK, or rather the launcher block, is really with the cost of the destroyer - garbage. The question is different. What are you going to equip cruise missiles to strike in Russia?

    Or maybe still the respected MOSKVITYANIN, you will understand the terminology before writing. The agreement was not on missiles small and medium range. And on medium and lesser range. Apparently you do not catch the difference in terms of short and short range.
    The terms related to the missile range were agreed upon, as they are different for different countries. So the treaty covered missiles and range (from 1000 km to 5500 km) and missiles lesser range (from 500 to 1000 km). Short-range missiles, according to contract terminology, are considered tactical missiles.
    In the text of the contract BLACK ON WHITE IN RUSSIAN (and English) LANGUAGES it is said that missiles designed to intercept targets in the atmosphere, as well as target missiles designed to practice interception DO NOT BE SUBJECT TO CONSIDERING THIS AGREEMENT. Class rockets only ground to ground. Therefore, do not invent or repeat someone’s nonsense that you read that American missile defense missiles are medium-range missiles that violate this treaty. Then it turns out that our long-range anti-missiles from the belt around Moscow are also a direct violation of this treaty? And they also, unlike the US, carry nuclear charges.
    Take, for the sake of interest, read the agreements: OSV-1 and OSV-2, START-1/2/3, the ABM Treaty, the INF Treaty. Discover a lot of interesting things for yourself.

    So to speak. Externally and internally, this tower of the control center with radars repeats the cabin of the ship. Also on 3 or four levels are located machines and mechanisms. But this is not a 100% copy of the cutting. Only outwardly. It is built from prefabricated structures. But still, this is not a stream method. Another thing is if this “logging” was done at a shipyard and transported to a ground base - it could be considered a channel. But here it is piece production, although using modern technologies

    Of course not only. And rockets of shorter range. After all, because of this, all the fuss with the Americans. They argue that the range of our ground-based cruise missiles exceeds the permissible limit and that these missiles fall, if not under the definition of medium, then at least under the definition of missiles lesser range. Sometimes we ourselves add fuel to the fire when we start at several forums and the media to say that the Kyrgyz Republic with Iskander will almost cover Europe. Initially, after all, they also ranked Iskander as violations. Therefore, of course, the contract governs medium and shorter ballistic and cruise missiles
