Japan denies negotiating the deployment of US missiles

Japan is not in any negotiations with the United States on the deployment of American missiles in the region to counter China. The Nikkei newspaper writes about it.

Answering the question of the publication about the probable deployment of American missiles on Japanese territory to confront China, the Japanese government said that they are not yet negotiating with the United States about the missiles, but would generally welcome their deployment in the Indo-Pacific region.

Deploying new US missiles to contain China would be a plus for us

- stated the source of the publication in the Japanese administration.

Earlier, the publication, citing the command of the US Armed Forces in the Indo-Pacific region, reported that the United States plans to deploy missiles on islands in the East China and South China Seas. It is proposed to deploy ground-based anti-ship complexes with a range of up to 200 km, as well as medium-range missiles. The missile installations are planned to be dispersed to reduce the threat of defeat.

The main task of this deployment is called by the US military "preserving defense potential" in the event of an attack by China. In total, the US government plans to allocate over $ 23 billion for the deployment of missiles over six years.

In 2020, the US President's Special Representative for Arms Control Marshall Billingsley said that the United States intends to negotiate the deployment of medium-range missiles in the Indo-Pacific region. Washington is convinced that US allies in Asia need American missiles on their soil to defend against the Chinese threat.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Tomahawks are already loaded into the Aegis Ashore in Japan. No wonder the United States withdrew from the INF Treaty.

The Japanese government at its meeting approved the decision to place two Aegis Ashore complexes, it became known in December 2017. They will be purchased in the United States and will cost Tokyo about 100 billion yen (about $ 889 million) each.

The complexes will be deployed by the end of 2023 on opposite ends of Honshu Island: in Akita Prefecture in the north and in Yamaguchi Prefecture in the southwest.

"These two areas will be candidates for the deployment of the installations," Japanese Defense Minister Itsunori Onodera said on May 15.

And in January, Onodera said that after the deployment of Aegis Ashore, Japan intends to expand its use to intercept not only ballistic, but also cruise missiles.

As Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov stated, the Aegis Ashore anti-missile systems are "dual-use systems from which not only anti-missile missiles but also attack cruise missiles can be launched." The latter are prohibited from being deployed on land under the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF Treaty).

In principle, we also have something to answer.

The Russian military has successfully modernized the domestic hypersonic missile "Zircon", increasing its target engagement range by 50%, which makes it possible to effectively attack the enemy's ground infrastructure, its military bases and command posts, being far beyond the means of destruction of the latter, including military aircraft.

According to the data presented, today there are two versions of the Zircon cruise missile - the basic one, designed to destroy sea targets at distances of about 650-1000 kilometers, and the modernized one, designed to destroy enemy ground targets. The modernized Zircon missile has a target engagement range of 1500 kilometers, which allows Russian naval ships to strike virtually any part of the United States from international waters.

In general, the Japs have a solid fleet of destroyers with Mk 41 mounts. Officially, only missiles and PLURs are loaded into them, but there are no technical restrictions on their use of the same Tomahawks. This means that they don't really need to mess with ground placement.

It is permissible to assume that it is there or can be installed relatively easily. Fortunately, it is difficult to control this "from the outside", and the Japanese know how and love to secret their military developments.

installation of the unit requires testing.

Quote: Avior

Yes, but this is a question of the scope of testing. The Japanese, as I understand it, bought most of the equipment from the United States; their destroyers distinctly repeat the Orly Burke. If everything is really standard and worked out there, then the installation of additional. blocks can be a standard procedure, after which you can get by with some abbreviated tests. I repeat, if those blocks are no longer there (after all, they can be an integral part of the complex). However, this is already speculation.

[Orange bigg]

Life forced us to react to the US withdrawal from the INF Treaty, so it was necessary to develop on the basis of Zircon its modernized version with an increased range of destruction. And on the basis of what else could a ground-based missile system with a long-range hypersonic missile be created in the shortest possible time, if not on the basis of Zircon?

... Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu at a thematic conference call at the Defense Ministry.

“During 2019-2020, we need to develop a sea-based land-based version of the Caliber complex with a long-range cruise missile, which has proven itself well in Syria. At the same time, we have to create a ground-based missile system with a long-range hypersonic missile, ”the minister said.

Shoigu stressed that Russia was forced to take these measures after the US withdrew from the Treaty on Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles. According to him, the United States is already actively working on the creation of ground-based missiles with a range of more than 500 kilometers.

... He also noted that the use of sea-based and air-based land-based missiles will significantly reduce the time for launching weapons into series and the amount of funds spent on this.

“It is important to increase the firing range of ground-based missile systems being developed today,” said the head of the Russian military department.

On the basis of "Iskander", it is obvious that it is at least in series production and is quite debugged. It is not so difficult to "catch up" the BR to hypersound (ICBM is a confirmation of this). "Zircon" is still a rather dark horse: it is difficult to say how much time it will actually take to fine-tune it and launch it into series production.

[Orange bigg]

Have you read a quote where the second point is the creation of a land-based hypersonic missile, and not a ballistic one, although it is clear that the same Iskander flies on hypersonic, but it meant the creation of a hypersonic cruise missile?

... "Zircon" is still a rather dark horse: it is difficult to say how much time it will actually take to fine-tune it and launch it into series production.

The process of creating an MRBM based on Iskander would be no less a dark horse. Zircon, on the other hand, is being tested quite successfully and is close to the moment of its adoption into service in the near future. In addition, it is more difficult to shoot down than an MRBM. The trajectory is less predictable.

Our "Dagger" is also hypersonic, although not particularly winged. As I never tire of repeating, the term "hypersonic" is increasingly acquiring the character of an advertising nameplate: they try to stick it wherever possible.

Quote: OrangeBigg

The process of creating an MRBM based on Iskander would be no less a dark horse.

Why? It could be brought to the MRBM by quite extensive methods: add an accelerating stage, increase the size, etc. Not to say that it is easy and simple, but quite feasible and predictable.

Quote: OrangeBigg

Zircon, on the other hand, is being tested quite successfully and is close to the moment of its adoption into service in the near future.

The exact characteristics are unknown, the nuances of the guidance system are also unknown (the uneasy relationship between the radar and the plasma cocoon), and so on. There is little information about the tests: he flew so many kilometers, hit something (the nature of the target was not specified).

Then, adoption and mass production are never the same thing. A dozen missiles (albeit hypersonic), even in a local conflict, will have little effect.

Quote: OrangeBigg

In addition, it is more difficult to shoot down than an MRBM.

This statement is also quite speculative so far. Something can be judged when the details about the rocket become known (real speed, altitude, maneuverability, etc.). But to date, the interception of the missile forces is coping much better than the interception of ballistic missiles.

They can say whatever they want, but in our Doctrine it is clearly written in Russian in white that any aggressive activity will be punished with a blow, WITHOUT WAITING FOR AN ATTACK from the observed territory, only activity will be enough.
A lightning strike has been prepared for Japan: Russian missiles will go simultaneously with the American command "Start!" - American missiles on the Japanese islands are too close to the strategically important territories of the Russian Federation. It will be a strategic mistake to understand what the so-called RESPONSE strike :: our missiles many times FASTER American, so first our missiles will drown the Japanese islands, then the Japanese drowned people will wait for information about the destruction on Russian territories.

there is no such thing in the Doctrine

Read the latest version, there are fixes and some snot removed.

[Avior]

The Military Doctrine (VD) of the Russian Federation, amended in 2018, states that Russia “reserves the right to use nuclear weapons in response to the use of nuclear and other types of weapons of mass destruction against it and (or) its allies, as well as in the event of aggression against the Russian Federation with the use of conventional weapons, when the very existence of the state is threatened ”(p. 27). ... The formulation of the conditions for the use of nuclear weapons was first included in the Russian Military Doctrine in 2000 and has remained practically unchanged for 20 years now.

new appeared only about nuclear deterrence, but this is not the use of weapons

[hydrox]

Read about the massive use of conventional weapons by the enemy ...

[Avior]

Conditions for the use of nuclear weapons

27. The Russian Federation reserves the right to use nuclear weapons in response to the use of nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction against it and (or) its allies, as well as in the case of aggression against the Russian Federation with the use of conventional weapons, when the very existence of the state is threatened.

no other application is foreseen in the Doctrine

[hydrox]

This means that we will work in the American way: it is not forbidden, it means that it is allowed, and if it is forbidden, we will still do it the way we need it (even if it will be more difficult and longer) ...

We discuss what is written in the Doctrine

[voyaka uh]

"Lightning strike prepared for Japan:" ///
----
What?
Russia's arsenal has about 1500 nuclear warheads for about 500 ICBMs.
There are about 800 strategic objects on the territory of the United States, including large cities.
An object, to guarantee destruction, requires two warheads.
The entire strategic arsenal of Russia will go to the United States.
The rest is tactical nuclear weapons. It will go to headquarters and bases in Europe.
And it's harder to deliver than an ICBM.
ICBMs cannot be intercepted, but shorter-range ballistic missiles can. KR - all the more possible.
There will be no nuclear weapons left for Japan.

We will not be interested in the ENTIRE US territory, but only in the nodal infrastructure facilities (ports and bridges), and weapons production that could do us real harm (missiles, aircraft, shipyards) - and this is all small nuclear warheads (no more than 50 kTn), in Japan, there is practically one Okinawa with US bases.

The most suitable state for the Japens is to consider themselves as living corpses, since OUR Defense Doctrine says clearly and understandably: "Strikes will be delivered to the DECISION-MAKING CENTERS for the attack on the Russian Federation," but the Japens should know at the points with which coordinates the American decision-making centers so that for themselves, the Japanese, to take measures in advance (maybe tomorrow! ) for evacuation from Hiroshimo-dangerous territories.
