Japanese Missile Defence system
Bellicose beggar-state North Korea may threaten Japan with missile over-flights, but any such launch is doomed by Japan’s superior technology, as the above missile defence diagram illustrates quite clearly.
All kinds of sophisticated defensive systems await the rockets should they come too close for comfort.
However, it is hoped that North Korea will be polite enough not to develop its missile menace too quickly, as all of the systems illustrated (save the PAC-3, which is not strictly designed for such use), from THAAD and ABL to space battleship and mobile suits, are indicated to be in “research”, “development” or “conceptual evaluation.”
