I came across a reference to another project-a land based anti-ship missile (which could be deployed to the island countries of east Asia). I came across a reference to a "hypersonic glide bomb".
It has been known that the Japanese have the technical resources to readily construct a nuclear bomb. I suspect that they started that project awhile back when North Korea flew a missile over Japan.
About thirty years ago the Japanese government warned that it would secure nuclear weapons in the event that North Korea developed or stole them. At the time there was no protest from any of the then-current "nuclear club" (that then included the Soviet Union). I am guessing that the Japanese could have bought Soviet nukes or hired Soviet physicists and engineers to develop nukes suitable to Japanese military specifications. There was no protest even from China.
Any North Korean nuclear missile that flies over Chinese, Russian, or Canadian territory to the US mainland is a death warrant for the North Korean regime.
