#6 Did someone say ABM tests in Japan? "In Tokyo, Japan's Defense Agency unveiled plans to seek $1.2 billion for U.S.-designed systems to defend against ballistic missiles. The request is part of a major defense initiative spawned by concern over North Korea's long-range missiles. The agency's annual budget proposal calls for buying two U.S.-developed weapons systems -- one sea-based and one land-based -- to provide a double shield against missiles with a range of up to 600 miles. Delivery could start as early as 2006. Japan has been conducting joint research with the United States on missile defense since 1999 -- a year after the test-launch of a three-stage North Korean Taepodong missile that flew over Japanese airspace. The incident showed that virtually all of Japan could be targeted by North Korean missiles." |
