Japan Installs Missile Defense System Near Tokyo
Japan is installing its first advanced Patriot missile defense system at a military base near Tokyo. The launchers are being deployed Friday a year ahead of schedule and follows North Korean missile and nuclear tests last year.
The short range surface-to-air missiles would be used to protect metropolitan Tokyo if interceptors fired from U.S. or Japanese ships failed to knock down incoming missiles. More Patriot interceptors are scheduled to be installed at bases around Japan over the next few years.
日本在東京附近一個(gè)軍事基地安裝第一個(gè)先進(jìn)的愛國者導(dǎo)彈防御系統(tǒng)。這一導(dǎo)彈防御系統(tǒng)星期五開始部署，比原計(jì)劃提前了一年，并緊隨在北韓去年試射導(dǎo)彈和進(jìn)行核試驗(yàn)之后。
如果從美國或日本軍艦上發(fā)射的攔截導(dǎo)彈不能擊落來襲導(dǎo)彈的話，這些短程地對(duì)空導(dǎo)彈將可以用來保護(hù)東京大都市地區(qū)。今后幾年內(nèi)，東京周邊的軍事基地還計(jì)劃部署更多的愛國者攔截導(dǎo)彈。
