Japan Aegis BMD (JFTM-1) Stellar Kiji Quicklook

[AyanokoujiMiwa]

Japan is on the edge now. There are just a few Japanese who know this event because most of mas media have not reported this, due to superb Chinese and Korean spy works. Many Chinese nuclear missiles are aimed at Japanese major cities but Japanese majority does not pay any attention because of above reason. Accepting Chinese pacification work will endanger your country. Please remember!

[aczjbr]

Rio de Janeiro. I'm glad that the Japanese government and Navy have to ensure the security of its territory from the danger of missiles in Korea. Also welcome the cooperation with the Navy and Department of Defense USA. I hope to extend the alliance that allowed their country and have a minimum of security against the communist psychopaths. Happiness and security to the Japanese people

[misterbonzai08]

Here comes another arms race...

[SayokoHatsuya]

@misterbonzai08 "Here comes another"? You imply that it's going to happen because of AEGIS /BMD/.

Let's read that out - ballistic missile DEFENSE.

So fine then, maybe you didn't mean that, maybe you mean the AEGIS combat system in general triggering another arms race.

Oh wait, the US has had AEGIS since like... the 80's.

Let's just not, yeah?

[misterbonzai08]

@SayokoHatsuya I thought the US AEGIS was a gatling gun style system as opposed to a ballistic missile interceptor. Don't get me wrong, Japan is the first country I would choose to defend but when you make a bigger shield your enemy will try to make a bigger sword.

[SayokoHatsuya]

@misterbonzai08 AEGIS is an entire combat and defense system. They basically comprise the whole damn ship and its sensor complement and armament for those so equipped.

[SayokoHatsuya]

@misterbonzai08 AEGIS is an ENTIRE combat system. AEGIS BMD is a later development that involves the SM-3 and software that allows the interception of ballistic missiles et cetera.

The Aegis combat system includes just about everything else on the ship - weapons systems, sensors, et cetera.

[sadekgheidan]

This is from the "STAR WARS" program! I thought it was canceled :|

[kakttat]

Cool warship indeed (Credit to USA)

But it will be destroyed by us sooner or later!

HAHA Your time is over!!! Fuck 鬼子!!

[adrianwainer]

David Cameron's Defense policy, a seat for himself, his family and other Conservative and Lib Dem big wigs and their families on a requisitioned British Airways Boeing 777 departing London Heathrow destination Bermuda, before the first Iranian ten kiloton yield range nuke detonates over London. Put the Nimrod MRA4 in to service, keep the Harrier GR9 in service, maintain RAF Lossiemouth and RAF Kinloss as operational military airbases and kick Mr Cameron out of 10 Downing Street.

[IzzyTheArtist]

ok so what blew up the intercepting target after the missile got into space? did it just serve as an assisting targets system to guide the other half? The other half being part of the missile that broke off continuing to shoot down the intercepting target?

[bestamerica]

'

where this rocket flying to

[ODDNOMAD]

these systems are pretty good but can someone tell me how this will help when north korea launches several hundred missles simutaneously towards S Korea?

or russian nukes headed towards the US that seperate into 10 plus nuclear warheads each? laser tech wont work because all they gotta do is build their missles with reflective surfaces to bounce the laser light off?

[varnahelloyall]

@ODDNOMAD and you are perfectly correct, my friend, they just can't. This Aegis or whatever is it called is just a publicity stunt, as everything that US is capable of. And nobody will ever know, this single particular missile taken off by Aegis - they literally may know it's path and coordinates. easy as that. the true ballistic missile have multiple warheads, each moving within it's own unique trajectory plus a special stealth kind of coating. there is no defence from nuclear launch.

[AmericaGapesYou]

@varnahelloyall the SM-3 is designed to intercept in outerspace before the nuclear warhead breaks into multiple warheads.

[anisocoro]

It seems that technical difficulties in projecting and building an exo-atmospheric interceptor have been overrun. SM3s do are an effective countermeasure against possible North Korean Taepdongs, but ths system appears to be too expensive

[RoboTekno]

Lmao, "...a 10 ton truck going Mach~.8" :D

[fuhmeregan]

Do these video's teach North Korea all about defeating us? hmmmm Seems like classified stuff.

[cr9527]

@ teamkvs

This system, this ship, and this missile was designed by the States, not Japan.

[spanish111japan]

Yes , it was designed by the Staes. But who built it?

[AegisBMD]

Aerojet, ATK, BAE Systems, Boeing, CSC, Lockheed Martin, and Raytheon are all contributers to the development of the system. There are future block developments that are currently ongoing between the United States and Japan.

[UminoNuko]

@cr9527

Of course aegis system was designed by USA

but this ship was designed and built by japan

[missymonroe72]

ship was designed in japan. They are even better that equal first A. Burkes.

[Conservativepacheat]

way to go japan

[PrinceNoctisCaelum]

Is that Kim Jong-Il at 2:39 in the yellow shirt, top left? That clown would clap at his own demise.

But seriously, the SM-3 really is an impressive intercept weapon system. Though we would need quite a few to counter any ICBM barrage from Russia especially if they are MIRV tipped.

[mragsa]

The only countries that cannot be trusted are the Chinese and North Koreans. They have been spying and stealing many Techs from US and Japan. I guess it will be lot better for US and Japan to operate Aegis as defend capability so that their concept of defense could be aware to any countries in the world. Especially from countries who tried to steal the military technologies. The world know who those two countries are.

英語なので半分くらいしか聞き取れませんでしたが、大体のことは­わかりました。動画のアップ、ありがとうございました。

[paintkiller93]

it is amazing how much people can change. japan and us were mortal enemies back then but now we're close allies.

[mattmatt115]

And just who says anybody changed? lol your funny though!

[paintkiller93]

how is it funny? it is true. same with britian. they were enemies once, now they're allies.

[RalphWiggum1988]

wow this is a cool system ;)

is it possible to shoot down planes with it or only rockets?

[AegisBMD]

The SM-3 was designed to intercept targets in the exoatmosphere. Other variants of the Standard Missile such as the SM-2 are currently used against endoatmospheric targets such as planes, drones, and cruise missiles.

[paintkiller93]

rockets usually travel faster and are smaller than planes so if it can shoot down a rocket, then it must be able to shoot down a plane.

[JapanIncorporated]

I think Japan needs a offensive strike capability. since the defensive structures are set, all they need now are missiles to take out whatever fired it in the first place...they need to get over the politics and start building offensively. Japan cant just sit there blocking missiles all day...

[DPat6590]

Its good that japan and usa are working together with south korea too against north korea

[WHlTEPOWER1]

Unlikely, Japan cannot be trusted with offensive weapons or they'll start WWIII.

[mongo6781]

Dumbass. When Japan surrendered, part of the surrender was to agree to never again build an OFFENSIVE military force!

[ccr5cxcr4]

This is my reason for betting that Obama will not cancel the project as he claims. I think it will quietly continue because it is a joint venture with Japan, and Japan wants this system badly (to protect against nut cases like kim jong ill-in-the-head.

Thus far the system has made 20:24 successful intercepts on ballistic inbounds between the US and Japanese versions. Pretty good record.

Won't protect against mass attack, but good for those with limited numbers of missiles.

[afxgrin]

Hey it's all good. You're obviously following the development of this much more closely than I am. 20/24 - that's quite impressive actually. The Scuds weren't maneuvering though - it was just poor flight characteristics. There was a whole documentary on this issue that I watched years ago, it was pretty clear about this fact. I'd like to find it again at some point.

Multimillion Watt radar pulses aren't that impossible when you're only doing it for 1 ms however.

[ccr5cxcr4]

It all depends on which phase of the launch you are talking about. And every maneuver has serious downside (accuracy). If you are only trying to hit a vague area, then you can maneuver with abandon. Also, the later the intercept takes place, the worse it is for trying to evade. All that mass you have to haul up to suborbital. Then you start doing risk/benefit calculations.

My physics prof way back ago (20+ years) was on the ASM-135 ASAT project in the 80's and we would geek out talking.

[ccr5cxcr4]

We also talked about silly concepts like the "polish & spin" theory for protecting against lasers like the MTHEL. That is like a ballerina spinning in front of a shotgun. You can do it, won't do you much good.

[mrjimbeam2009]

go japan go

[SeventhSky3]

The Japan has stood up once again as a one of the worlds largest economies, now holding weapons that can do more than just kill, but save lives.

[afxgrin]

Good job guys ... there's only one problem - and it's not the range.

Once 'enemy' ballistic missiles get an updated flight control system, they'll just make these things steer in an unpredictable path. That was the problem with the Iraqi scuds, and why the Patriot system had a tough time intercepting them. The Scuds had such a poor construction, their flight path wasn't predictable.

Putting a radar detection system on an ICBM can make it take evasive maneuvers - making this much harder.

[ccr5cxcr4]

With respect, think about that for a bit.

The radars the AEGIS uses to detect, discriminate & direct the SM3 are multimillion watt.

You are talking about installing a radar powerful enough to detect and discriminate a target less than 1 meter long, and 0.4 meters in diameter with a closing speed of over 6 km/s on a ballistic missile where every ounce of weight is crucial.

Not to mention the fuel & hardware required to outmaneuver a 40 kilo kill vehicle that is over half fuel & has enormous

[ccr5cxcr4]

delta V.

PERHAPS, an advanced economy where price is no object could do so (but I doubt it. Play with the math a bit. How much energy to detect the KV, at what distance, and how much would the radar and power source weigh. And with a closing rate of over 6 km/s how much time do you have to maneuver, and how much energy to divert a 100 kilo RV, versus to divert a 40 kilo KV). North Korea not so much.

I am not mocking you. I am pointing out that this would hardly be a trivial exercise.

[ccr5cxcr4]

And your statement about the GW1 patriots is incorrect. They did not have trouble intercepting the scuds because the scuds were maneuvering.

They had trouble because they were inadequate to the task. They were never designed to intercept a ballistic inbound. A cheap & dirty software fix was tried, but it was like trying to turn a sheepdog into a greyhound.

Mostly, the patriot was a propaganda tool to keep Israel from responding to the missile attacks, and it succeeded in that mission.

[mattmatt115]

Russian ICBM's have this "maneouvering" feature which is why Putin claimed their new missiles wer able to penetrate a BMD system. I can understand the concept

Check out the Granit missile and the capabilities it has

Russia has alot of money invested in rocketry, and they have come a LONG way

The Granit is like a UAV with a bomb in the nose made to blow up a carrier

It can sea skim to a location, send one missile up to active scan, locate a target, prioritize, engage, repeat, until depleted.

[paulceng]

How many Japan war ships have this Aegis Combat System ?

[AegisBMD]

Japan has 4 Kongo Class and 2 Atago Class destroyers with the Aegis Combat System.

[pentica]

great news for the JSDF with the maritime world theater the way it is, with threats to peace and a rise in international piracy it is definitely an amazing asset to japan and it's allies in the western world who work together.

being a Canadian it is good to have allies like japan.

[innpressTV]

Fuck 金正日 !!!

[Olympusdevil]

@innpressTV Don't get too cocky or he will nuke your ass

[USAmilitarypower]

@innpressTV fuck japan usa is so much better like how could you even say that

[sogabe008]

if north korea and japan will goin to war.. i will apply to become a soldier of japan... and ill shot pyongyang's ass!!

[supertrex2]

sign me up also!

[pengxiangz]

yea the SM-3 with kinetic weapon is cool and useful to intercept NKorea ballistic missiles, but useless for chinese ICBM...im sure of that, China have microwave interference weapons, so a little interference on aegis system = failed intercept....

Peace in Asia and Diaoyudao is chinese!!!!

[plebian44]

great, something else to bounce off godzilla

[crimeavenger1]

kataphuket = Korean

[drgentlewolf]

i agree, he is perpectly korean.

we japanese made korean mordanized,

Before we did ,korea had belonged to cina,and so poor , so uneducated.

they should thank us.

[grand4theft4auto]

loooooooooooool

[SharinganShadower]

That's why Japan should do something to increase its defense capability, including reducing reaction time to foreign invasion. With the current system that's highly restricted by Article 9 of the Constitution, it's impossible. I say amend the Constitution, the times are changing and the threat of the future cannot be averted through submission and appeasement. Heck, scratch that, if anyone has studied his history, he would have certainly understood that appeasement have never been the answer.

[SharinganShadower]

Well, its a really great system, but can it intercept MIRVs? If not, the threat of a ballistic missile attack on Japan is still great.

[homer30]

what if China fires 25 ballistic missiles at the same time, in different Japanese location? Japan maybe able to counter 3,4, or 5 the rest hit japanese soil. While the rest of Chinese navies are circling the whole japan for amphibous assault in Tokyo, a total of 100,000 chinese army. I think this Aegis system maybe quite useless.

[YOSHINORI999]

chinese saying japan will banished from earth surface with 20 a-bombs. we japanese must defend our lives and prosperity against chinese invaders.

[grand4theft4auto]

stfu

[fixi121]

HEY GUYS !! THERE ARE SOME BOYS IN TH VID ``ARMADA ESPAÑOLA´´ TRIYING TO EXPLAIN US HOW BETTER IS THE NEW FRIGATES FREM WITH ASTER, THAN THE AEGIS FRIGATES.... GO THERE AND TELL THEM THE TRUTH..!! THEY SAID JAPANESSE, SPANIARDS, AND USA FRIGATES WITH AEGIS DONT GIVE A SHIT.. dont let them go !!

[gacktsama1984]

asian need peace!~~~~

chink fight japs japs fight chink,is that funny?

[katsushikaku]

chicken don`t know japan is peaceful country

chicken education

japan attack china so we must increase military cost

oh terrible education

[gacktsama1984]

yeah,maybe you're right but not me!~ i'd like eat some sushi watch some anime . maybe go otaku way do cosplay things just be silly

[ykata]

That's because we live next to China. We spend less than 1% of our total GDP while the Chinese well over several tens of percent.

[markfeng66]

lol ykata that is not true,,,,,,

China spends 1.4% only...more than 10% that's only North Korea.....

[oyoso3]

Well, the Chinese government officially say it's 1.4% but the United States (and many) doubt it. I think it's not more than 10% anyway.

[markfeng66]

I think at most 3. If it is anywhere near 10 I'd be really sad because it doesn't look like China is getting weapons worth that much money. Then something must be wrong with the cost effeiciency.

[hiroro312]

I totally agree with u.

[mxd6]

See the orginal vid under the heading - The BMD tests AEGIS+SDI - it is USA owned, manufactured and sold to our allies. In this case China/N.Korea's threat against Japan.

[moq]

BGM really sick

[h408]

Nothing illegal about possessing such weapon systems...Perhaps you should read what our constitutional law says and its interpretation by the cabinet office....

[ykata]

Indeed. What is outlawed in our constitution is war as a means of settling international disputes i.e. offensive warfare as the Kellogg-Briand pact defined in the 20's. People should really learn how the Article 9 has come about and from what sort of historical and legal background.

[hiroro312]

Possesing these kinds of weapons is illegal in terms of our Constitution...

[TsutenkakuProject]

Possessing weapons with intent to invade other countries is against the constitution. The United States commends a defense force for Japan. Japan just can't fire until fired upon.

[shootingx]

Japanese Technology!

my god!

[mxd6]

US technology sold to Japan - see my vid - The BMD tests AEGIS+SDI - it tells all.

[rondo221]

"your video"?

At least youre right about 1 thing, it is US technology.

[louis731]

go Japan!

[EAC1111]

Man this is awesome!!!! Congrats to Japan!!!
