This is also a BIG part of the issue...

"the non-availability of ground equipment has adversely affected to a large extent."

...if they fix that, and work with other nations to work out the best way to use/load them, the C-17's will work out fine for them.

Random Google search for "ballistic missile defense", I've had that image for a couple of years now so I for get exactly where it came from, but these sites ( http://goo.gl/5G3lyn ) are using it also.

I agree completely, & have said so on numerous occasions when the topic of the LHDs comes up.;)

For the record, I don’t agree with this analysis, a lot of the missiles mentioned are out of use in the Chinese arsenal & reliance on Cruise Missiles as a deterrence is silly when you have Ballistic Missiles in your Arsenal. =/

But it’s been posted for a balanced view from all sides. ;)

Actually Japan IS the gateway, Korea is the front door, if the north attacks, the south will be absorbed in the fight & won’t have time to worry about logistics/maintenance/so on, that’s where Japan comes in, far enough away that attacks will be limited, but close enough for rapid reinforcement & resupply.

Japan is also the logical place to base Early Warning Radar for detection of Ballistic missile launches from the DPRK & China as well as missile interceptors to protect Hawaii & south west USA

This is a very old story; the Philippines are negotiating to acquire F/A-50 fighters from South Korea, see the links below. ;)

Sorry your message took so long to be posted, every now & then the system decides to send a message to be moderated, & I only check that once a day. :S

I still don’t think the US Government would allow LockMart to integrate SMART-L into Aegis; it’d be far too politically incorrect for them.

The F125 Baden-Württemberg-class sounds interesting ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F125-class_frigate ) especially the 2 years on deployment part, I don’t think much of the weapons load though, for anti-piracy it works, but not for major combat operations & while they happen infrequently these days, it’s better to have the capability & not need it, than not have it when needed.

Unfortunately that picture of Hessen isn’t working for me, I’m just getting a “403 Forbidden - You do not have permission to access this document” message. =/
