Japan threatens to engage missile defense; shoot down N. Korean missile in Mid-April
Yahoo! Japan News (in Japanese) rush, w/out transation ^ | 17 March 2012 | Yomiuiri Shimbun via Yahoo!Japan

Rush-- w/out translation.

Japan is threatening North Korea with deploying and activating its own Missile Defense (MD) system, and shooting down the North Korean ICBM test launched scheduled from between 12 April and 16 April, a move stunningly announced by Pyongyang news sources yesterday and creating considerable tension in Northeast Asia suddenly.

No time to do an English translation now but am linking the breaking Japan story in Japanese. Will synopsize later, but wanted to get the thread and linked article up ASAP.

Japan probably has its own interceptor missiles and they’re calling them ‘PAC-3’ just to help keep the things hidden in plain sight.
