“A screwdriver away from nuclear armed”
Power to them. It is time for us to make like a tree and leave!! Good luck !! Adios.
Um, I seriously doubt that Japan does not already have such missiles. This looks to me like a political statement. The funds will likely be allocated to more advanced weaponry.
Let’s not forget the militarization of a “gas exploration platform” the Chicoms put up just northwest of those islands. The Japanese confirmed that there was at least a military radar station on it although they couldn’t say what it was connected to.
I guess it would be in very bad taste to name this missile “The Nanking Special.”
Some experts believe were the PRC to take and hold any of the Senkaku Islands they would also have to take Okinawa, too.
They just call them drones now.
President Obama, Nobel Peace Laureate, and Weapons Salesman of the Century. Who would ever have predicted that a mushy headed sentimentalist would make such a persuasive weapons salesman? Haven’t seen an arms race like this since the 1930’s.
