Japan has finally decided to stop playing hide-and-seek and launched its first military missile test on home soil! On the northern island of Hokkaido, the Japanese military tested a short-range missile, targeting a drone boat 40 kilometers away. This comes as Japan rapidly strengthens its national defense system and plans to deploy long-range cruise missiles, including American Tomahawks, by the end of the year. Is this the dawn of a new era in the Asian military game or just another reason for Beijing to get nervous? Sound off — is Japan overdoing it or just playing smart defense?
