While North Korea launched ballistic missiles one after another, the Japan Air Self-Defense Force's ground-based interception missile PAC3 deployment training was held in Maishima, Osaka.

The PAC3 is an interceptor missile that is positioned as the "last fort" to shoot down near the ground when the Aegis ship cannot intercept the opponent's missile.



According to the Japan Air Self-Defense Force, it is deployed at bases in Shiga and Mie prefectures in the Kinki area, but since the range is as short as several tens of kilometers, it will be deployed in advance near places where it is expected to fall or important facilities. It needs to be kept, and training is being carried out by troops nationwide.



On the 19th, training was held in Maishima, Konohana-ku, Osaka, and six large vehicles equipped with radars and launchers arrived from a base in Mie prefecture and deployed equipment.



Then, the members took about 20 minutes to confirm the procedure, such as launching the launch pad while talking to each other and adjusting the radar and antenna for wireless communication.



Regarding North Korea, U.S. President Joe Biden's aide has revealed that he may launch long-range ballistic missiles and conduct nuclear tests during President Biden's visit to South Korea and Japan from the 20th. ..



“North Korea is launching ballistic missiles at an unprecedented pace. I want to train so that I can get the best results. "
