Gronk want THAAD!
I like it. Anything that might piss off the Norks is fine by me.
So much for your much bragged about artillery, Kim.
Japan needs to get THAAD, or an Israeli system, or make one of it’s own, as the recent missile test’s by the North Korean dictators showed.
By targeting Japan, the North hopes to get at U.S. military bases there AND provoke the Japanese, because it thinks it can count on general Korean (north & south) animosity toward Japan, and Chinese animosity toward Japan, to attempt to mute any response by Japan if ONLY targets in Japan are hit. It will take immediate and massive responses from the U.S. and South Korea to disabuse the north of such notions.
That is Theater High Alititude Air Defence. I worked on it back in the 90s at LMSC.
