Korean rocket Quote: Japan on Friday readied its missile defence systems to shoot down a North Korean rocket if it threatens the country, as the UN chief warned that next month's launch could jeopardise food aid. "I have ordered officials to prepare to deploy the PAC-3 and Aegis warships," Japan's Defence Minister Naoki Tanaka told reporters, referring to surface-to-air missiles and destroyers carrying missiles. The nuclear-armed North has announced it will launch a rocket in mid-April to put a satellite into orbit, a move that the United States, South Korea and other nations see as a pretext for a long-range missile test banned by the UN. The move by North Korea's new leadership has set off alarm bells across the region. The Philippines is calling for help from the United States to monitor the rocket, part of which is expected to land off the archipelago. Quote: The second stage is expected to splash down just 190 kilometres (118 miles) east of the northern Philippines. http://ph.news.yahoo.com/japan-orders-anti...-031440274.html

At least if we have a missile shield they could greatly protect the citizens of the philippines. Well they deserve it, hoping that debris second stage rocket hit the edsa monument.
	Modernization should prioritize: Patrol Ships with air/sub/ship detection, fast & lightly armed for Navy. Surface Attack Aircraft with anti ship/sub attack capability for Airforce. SAM with Radars, Close AA battery capable of shooting ground targets too for Army. This triangle defense will work together and protect us from external threats.

Why can't be somewhere in the middle of the Pacific like between Philippines and Guam as long as in International Waters.. Here's the answer to your puzzlement, why the trajectory is southward ... North Korean missiles aimed at Australia Updated March 24, 2012 16:54:26 http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-03-24/nort...stralia/3910342 A senior US official says a long-range missile which North Korea plans to test next month will for the first time be aimed towards South-East Asia and Australia. The assistant secretary of state for East Asia and the Pacific, Kurt Campbell, says the US believes the North Korean missile will land in an area between Australia, Indonesia and the Philippines. Previous North Korean rockets have been launched over Japan.

"The Philippine military is coordinating with its US counterpart in the monitoring of the planned launch," Department of Foreign Affairs spokesman Raul Hernandez told the Agence France Presse (AFP). His announcement came a day after the USS Blue Ridge, the flagship of the US 7th Fleet in the Pacific, arrived in Manila for a four-day visit. Hernandez did not divulge details of the joint monitoring, but the allies were expected to hold large-scale joint military exercises in the middle of April to enhance cooperation in case of external threats.
