The article reports on the need of Japan for more defense options due to the threats posed by the weapon systems of China, North Korea and Russia. North Korea continues to build and test ballistic missiles that could strike Japan. China is preparing two new cruise missile designs, one for bombers and another smaller weapon for carriage by strike fighters, say senior Pacific Air Forces officials. Russia is in the final stages of testing the stealthy, new Raduga Kh-102 cruise missile.
