The scary reason why nobody has attempted to shoot-down one of North Korea’s missiles

THERE’s a simple but disturbing reason why Japan hasn’t tried to destroy any of the six missiles fired over its territory.

U.S. Flexes Military Muscle After North Korea ICBM Test


AIR raid sirens blared across Japan again today. Another North Korean missile streaked over the island nation’s skies.

As startled citizens streamed into bunkers and shelters, Japan’s government went to great lengths to inform and reassure the public that it was doing everything possible to protect them.

Truth is, there is very little the Japanese military can do.

The launch was detected at 6.59am Japanese Standard Time. At 7.06am, the ballistic missile overflew the heavily populated island of Hokkaido. It was in Japanese air space for less than two minutes before it fell into the ocean some 2000km to the east at 7.16am.

Early reports indicate it was in the air for a total of just 17 minutes, during which it reached an altitude of 770km and flew a total of 3700km. This is characteristic of the nuclear-capable HS-12 intermediate range ballistic missile (IRBM).

So why did Japan’s much-hyped interceptor missiles not attempt to take it down?

They probably can’t.
