Japan’s Cabinet approved a plan Tuesday, Dec. 19, 2017, to purchase a set of costly land-based missile combat system from the U.S. to step up Japanese missile defense capability amid escalating threat from North Korea. The decision would allow the Defense Ministry to buy a set of two Aegis Ashore systems to add to Japan’s current two-step missile defense consisting of Patriot batteries and Aegis-equipped destroyers.
