Japan deployed Patriot systems to protect against North Korean missiles.

February 2 2016 29

At least at the 3's military bases in Japan, Patriot complexes (PAC-3) are deployed to protect the country from North Korean missiles, reports RIA News the message of the head of the Japanese military department, Gen Nakatani.

Japan deployed Patriot systems to protect against North Korean missiles.

“We deployed PAC-3 in the Itigaya area of Tokyo, as well as at the Asaka bases (on the border of Tokyo and Saitama Prefectures) and Narasino (in Chiba Prefecture),” the minister said.

He noted that “Pyongyang did not make notifications about plans to launch a ballistic missile, but we cannot exclude the possibility of provocative actions, including missile launches.”

However, Nakatani did not go into details of the measures taken by his department to respond to the alleged missile tests in the DPRK.

Recall recently, the agency “Kyodo” reported that the data transmitted from satellites “indicate Pyongyang’s preparation for launching a ballistic missile from the satellite launch site in Tonchhanni soon, which is located on the west coast of the DPRK and is also known as“ Sohe ”( "West Sea").

In Japan, in general, the army is very strong, especially the fleet and the Air Force !!!

  But why do they need a Patriot, in this case, if they have SM-3 destroyers?

    Last time ships with "Standards" also went to sea and acted in the first line of defense. And the "Patriots" as the last line will defend especially important objects.

    Everything is very simple with the DPRK missiles capable of reaching the territory of Japan much more than with Japan - the SM-3 has to be deployed by Patriots to help them

They "started" to defend against the North Koreans, they will continue, with Russia in mind. Japan has a samurai ambition, and the "grudge" on the Kuril Islands has not broken off yet ...

  For the Kuril Patriot, it’s definitely not a help. But thousands of fishing schooners, on which you can seat tens of thousands of paratroopers, this is serious.

  Nothing new. Russia is already at the very borders of NATO! Aggressor! Need more missile defense systems!
  
  And no one cares that Russia stands where it was, namely, NATO once every couple of years moves its borders east.
  
  Covering up your actions with far-fetched causes is very much in the spirit of the US coalition. Therefore, unfortunately, anything can be.

  Tortured to enter. I heard that in the arsenal of the Russian Armed Forces there is such a missile that if it falls to the ground without a warhead loaded, then in a radius of 1,5 km everything will turn to dust ...

  It seems that the Pentagon gave a bribe to the North Koreans to scare everyone. With this, the Americans are killing two birds with one stone, justifying their presence, which many people do not like in Japan (protests in Okinawa), and at the same time snatch in their old "Patriot".

Most likely, the Yapis, with the consent of the owner from the louse, put these firecrackers as Russia's response to the construction of OUR bases in the Kuril Islands in OUR territory. And North Korea is most likely an excuse. By the way, it - Korea may become a pretext for deploying even more bases and equipment of lice and other hawks .. sorry jackals in Europe. They have such logic, I have no doubt.

Japan is implementing the well-known scenario of creating an "external enemy" to maximize the military budget and create a full-fledged army, not self-defense forces! And even Koreans or Martians can act as threats, this is no longer so important. And the Americans are all in the subject. "Patriots" cost money and they need to be sold to their vassals, and the more the better for the military-industrial complex of the SGA!

  "Japan is implementing the well-known scenario of creating an" external enemy "////
  
  Exactly!
  But not only Japan. When the economy is in stagnation or crisis, the scenario
  to create "external enemies" is very helpful to governments (different countries)
  distract people from their own failures in the economy and set up the masses
  to the "military-political pre-war frenzy".

And I wanted to write that the poultices would not help the dead. And the DPRK missiles are all missile missiles. In short, Japan or shoot yourself, or quietly drown, as the United States aircraft carrier finally calmed down in peace.

Given that a Kamaz-sized nuclear bomb from Korea is not feared, they can only be sent by train. The number of missiles manufactured by the Koreans for the serious damage to Japan is not so great, and the conflict between Japan and Korea is not even hypothetically real. ?
1 The United States, under this tune, is fanning a nuclear threat from the North Koreans for Japan. Japan quickly made an additional order for weapons in the United States.
2 Unsolved problems were immediately solved for so long with the deployment of American troops, the construction of another base in Japan
3 The deflection of Japan under the Americans is visible even from the windows of my attic.
4 Japan solves internal problems with the population by pumping another wave of threats, distracting the Japanese from problems in the economy.

Of course, the DPRK missiles are just an excuse. No one has yet proven that Koreans have adequate warheads and delivery vehicles.
