TOKYO - Japan’s Ministry of Defence is arranging to develop multiple long-range missiles with a range of up to about 3,000 km and aims to deploy them in the 2030s, Kyodo News reported on Saturday, citing a source familiar with the matter.
The government is looking to deploy a 2,000-km range missile by the early 2030s and a 3,000-km hypersonic missile that can reach anywhere in North Korea and some parts of China by around 2035, Kyodo said.
