Japan's move of turning archipelago into huge powder magazine is suicidal act of dashing toward second defeat

Kim Ryo Won, an international security analyst of the DPRK, issued the following article "Japan's move of turning the archipelago into a huge powder magazine is a suicidal act of dashing toward the second defeat":

Recently, the military buildup of Japan, a war criminal state, has entered a grave phase day by day amid the frequent geopolitical crises of raising concerns about the outbreak of a new great war in the world.

According to media, Japan is planning to conduct a test-fire of a ship-based electromagnetic gun, an ultra-modern weapon system that continuously launches shells at hypersonic speed by using electromagnetic power, in the near future.

Japan, which started the developing of the electromagnetic gun in 2016, conducted the world's first test-fire of ship-based weapon with a small prototype in 2023 and is going to conduct the test-fire with a prototype for actual war this time.

Japan is making self-estimation that the electromagnetic gun is a "game changer in the battlefield", saying that it is effective both in making an attack on targets on the ground and in the sea and air and in missile defense. At the same time, Japan is openly revealing its military confrontational attempt to use the electromagnetic gun to intercept supersonic weapons of the DPRK and the neighboring countries in the future.

The appearance of electromagnetic gun, which will be positioned as one of the core means of attack under the guise of "defense", clearly shows that Japan is turning the archipelago into an exhibition venue for various kinds of missiles and a test ground for ultra-modern weapons while getting more undisguised in its attempt at preemptive attack than ever before.

Japan is hell-bent on developing new-type ultra-modern offensive weapons such as electromagnetic guns as well as the possession of long-range strike means. This is aimed at enhancing and expanding the utility of preemptive attack directly targeting the DPRK and the neighboring countries and thus realizing at any cost the old ambition of the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere", which has not been achieved, by plunging into a new war of aggression at any time.

The reckless military buildup of Japan, a war criminal state, to make a preemptive attack on nuclear weapons states while turning the archipelago into a huge powder magazine will be a suicidal act of dashing toward the second defeat.
