To the east of the Japanese capital began the deployment of the second missile defense base

To the east of the Japanese capital, in the city of Narasino, on Thursday, the deployment of the second missile defense base, equipped with mobile complexes about Pak-3, began to deploy the second missile defense base.

The first two such installations of American production were delivered there, equipped with 16 cross-cutting missiles. They are designed to cover the Japanese capital primarily from a blow from the DPRK, which Tokyo officially proclaims the "main factor of instability" in the Far East, ITAR-TASS reports.

In March, the first base base with PAK-3 installations was deployed north of the city, in the Prefecture of Saitama. By the spring of 2011, about 30 Patriot complexes are supposed to be installed on nine bases in Japan. They will compose the ground part of the national pro, which is designed to destroy the enemy missiles on the approach.

The marine component of this system will consist of four warships with a multi -purpose system for tracking and guiding Ijis. With the help of long-range anti-aircraft missiles, they can shoot down enemy missiles at the top of their trajectory. Later, this system is supposed to integrate into American Pro and supplement with new components.
