Think this was a FUBAR. 65 mile range missile would have been fired incountry so they could recover reentry vehicle, etc.
Notice no "Happy Workers at Missile Plant # 93 Are Overjoyed ...." type announcements.
Bet this was supposed to go much farther, and flubbed.

Probably a little Saber rattling at Japan for two reasons....a) they are talking about making their own nuclear arsenal as protection from the DPRK...and b) they are going to be part of the missile shield.
I also read the other day that the Jappanese are working on re-doing the parts of their constitution that makes it almost impossible to deply the JDF beyond their own borders.

so they could recover reentry vehicle, etc. There is no need for a reentry vehicle for an EMP mission. It's exploded above the atmosphere of the target country.

The same as March 2003. An anti-ship cruise missile test.
