Korean Ballistic Anti-Ballistic Missile

Japan has announced that the last ballistic missile fired by North Korea did not follow a regular trajectory, making it difficult to shot it down. Ballistic objects fall at fantastic velocities from space, but once they are ballistic their trajectory follows Newtonian rules  which can be calculated and the object intercepted. Now it appears that Korean ballistic missiles can change route in flight and maneuver to confuse the antiballistic missile. I think should one missile miscalculate and humiliate the Japanese, America will give them free hand to restore their honor. Who will defend the Koreans? They have no allies.

The Japanese have. Seventy years of peace and prosperity have softened but not castrated the Japanese nation. In six month they can change direction and reinvent themselves as the martial people they always were. In Lagos I worked for a Dutch colonial who invited me to an Indonesian lunch. He had known the Japanese in Bandung and hated them with white hot passion.
