North Korean military launches medium-range ballistic missile over Japan

North Korea conducted yet another missile test by launching a ballistic missile towards the Sea of ​​Japan. According to the South Korean military, it could be a medium-range missile. In Pyongyang, South Korean and Japanese media reports are traditionally not commented on.

According to reports, on the morning of October 4, 2022, the DPRK launched an unidentified ballistic missile from the province of Chagangdo towards the Sea of ​​Japan. The maximum speed of the rocket reached Mach 17, such data is provided by the South Korean military. The rocket covered 4,5 thousand kilometers with a maximum flight altitude of 970 km. According to the Japanese military, the rocket flew 4,6 thousand kilometers with a maximum altitude of 1 thousand kilometers.

Tokyo reports that a North Korean missile flew over Japan and fell into the Pacific Ocean outside the state's exclusive economic zone, about 3 kilometers from the islands of the Japanese archipelago. The last time North Korean missiles flew over Japan was 5 years ago. An emergency headquarters has already been set up in Tokyo, and a national security council has been convened. All available information about a given missile launch is collected and analyzed. It is believed that the rocket was fired in the direction of Hokkaido and Aomori Prefecture on the island of Honshu.

In the DPRK, meanwhile, they do not react in any way to the statements of Tokyo and Seoul, which have been made throughout the past week. Pyongyang has resumed missile tests with several ballistic missile launches, the most recent of which took place last Saturday. According to data provided by the South Korean military, the North Korean military tested ballistic missiles, launching them at a range of 400-500 km. The rocket launched today at 4,5 thousand kilometers, one might say, shocked neighboring states, especially Japan, over whose territory it flew.

Handsome men, that's who has Faberge steel and unbending will. And that the air defense of Japan, carefully created by their nuclear bombing sponsors, was sleeping at that time?

[Sniper]

It’s a pity that I didn’t fly over Japan on a low, very low trajectory)

[Evil 55]

Well done, what do you say ... And in the conditions created in Ukraine, brother Yn would have long ago "answered" .. both at the places of decision-making, and at the points of transition and transportation of weapons (equipment), and at the places of formation and coordination of enemy military units. .And the North Korean border guards near Lvov would have already stood, threatening the Poles with earflaps.

At an altitude of 970 km, even the S-500 will not bring down.
No one has such a weapon to shoot down at such a height.
And the rise and fall were outside the range of air defense.

What air defense?
The rocket fell behind the Japanese islands at a distance of 3 thousand km. It flew over Japan at the heights of low earth orbit.

He has a lot of examples before his eyes when you don’t have to chew snot. The last one was the other day.

Here is a truly sovereign state, in "isolation", but it works such miracles ...., with import substitution, they are all right ...., boards for missiles are not taken from dishwashers .... They remind me of the USSR in 50- 60 years.... Standing... BRAVO!!!

Yes, no, in fact everything is Chinese there, and the country itself is essentially a colony of China.

I didn’t understand if this rocket flew 4500 km, how could it shock the Japanese. They should rejoice, this type of rocket is not for them. Kim Jong-un, for his beloved Japanese mother, has rockets that fly closer and have a bigger head.

[Machito]

The master of the Japanese ordered them to be shocked because a Korean missile could reach Pearl Harbor and destroy the US Navy base.

Ay! Flight! Shoot, however! Well done Yin. And though the dogs bark, the caravan moves on.

[Dmitry Karabanov]

Well, firstly, this is a personal matter of the DPRK, they have the right to test any weapon, because they are not bound by any agreements. In our country, it seems like freedom is declared according to international law?
And secondly - and where is Japan's vaunted missile defense system, which the United States controls? Could knock down defiantly ...

[Ivan Ivanov]

North Korea, unlike our allies, recognized the referendums. While we turned up our noses at her, the DPRK created quite combat-ready and long-range MLRS, which are clearly not enough for LBS. What is the problem with asking them for help, what is the problem with creating international brigades? From the other side, the mercenaries are coming in droves.

[Dmitry Potapov]

Well done! That's who has national interests, in which even the United States sucks!

[silverwolf88]

comrades are on the right path ... keep it up)) ... this is the real struggle for the independence of the Motherland

[Arkady007]

And I like Koreans.
They spit on all the sanctions and bend their line.
And most importantly, they comprehend high technologies without outside help.

[Just a visitor.]

We must help our comrades. They need to be given the necessary technology and ask for help, because they do not squat in front of the collective West, unlike us.

The North Korean fishing industry is approaching new indicators. Rocket troops of the DPRK and the working people of the DPRK are united as always. Japan made a mistake with dreams, the rocket was intended for the DPRK fish industry. In connection with the Fukushima events, North Korean fishermen were forced to look for new fishing areas.
