North Korea is about to launch its first spy satellite this week. Earlier, Japan ordered its army to prepare to destroy any kind of missile before falling on their land. This could be a missile, rocket or satellite of North Korea.
On Saturday, Japan's minister Yasukazu Hamada told the Self-Defense Forces that they could receive orders to shoot down the ballistic missile. Be ready to eliminate the missile in the air before it falls. For this, the American missile defence system Patriot, and Aegis Destroyer will also be deployed in Okinawa, Japan.
According to the Japan Times, North Korea has launched satellites and missiles several times against the rules. Despite this, no one has tried to intercept his missiles.
Actually, North Korea will need long-range projectiles to get the spy satellite into orbit. Which North Korea cannot use due to US sanctions. Trying to launch his satellite would be a violation of the rules.
Experts related to the case told the Japan Times that if Japan shoots down North Korea's satellite or missile, it will increase the dispute between the two countries. On the other hand, if Japan's missile system fails to intercept North Korea's missile, then it will raise questions about Japan's security arrangements. Along with this, the military capability of America will also come under question. North Korea will benefit from this.
At the same time, a few days ago, North Korea successfully tested the first solid-fuel intercontinental missile. During its testing, an alert had to be issued in Japan. The situation was such that people were being evacuated from the northern areas of Japan. At the same time, schools were started late in Hokkaido, Japan, and the timings of some trains were also changed. North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un was present with his daughter, and wife during this missile test.
