Great Satan US to deploy spy aircraft in Japan

The United States is prepared to deploy an unmanned spy aircraft in Japan, a report says.

The Global Hawk spy plane will be stationed at the US airbase in Misawa, northern Japan, Japan’s Sankei Shimbun Daily reported on Saturday citing government sources.

Last month the US military informed Tokyo about its plans to deploy the plane between June and September following reports about Pyongyang’s readiness for missile launches.

The South Korean Yonhap news agency said on Thursday that North Korea had moved mid-range Musudan missiles to its east coast, which could hit targets in South Korea and Japan.

The newspaper said that Pyongyang’s move was detected by the US and South Korean intelligence.

The missiles, which have an intended range of about 3,000 kilometers are believed to cover any target in South Korea and Japan, and possibly even reach US military bases located on the Pacific island of Guam.

Intelligence sources said North Korea might fire the missile around the middle of April, when people celebrate the birthday of Kim Il-sung, the founder of North Korea, according to Yonhap.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon said on Wednesday that it would deploy an advanced anti-missile system to the Pacific island of Guam to protect the US military bases and the 6,000 American military personnel there.

The anti-missile system includes a truck-mounted launcher, a complement of interceptor missiles, an AN/TPY-2 tracking radar and an integrated fire control system.

On Thursday, North Korea said a preemptive nuclear war with the United States “could break out today or tomorrow.”

Earlier in the day, the North Korean army said it had received final approval for a nuclear attack on the US in response to Washington’s threats.

War of words intensified after the participation of the United States’ nuclear-capable B-52s and B-2 stealth bombers in its joint military drills with South Korea.
