Mitsubishi Electric eyes F-35 missile deal with Europe's MBDA

Though I don't have a any problem with these defensive missils but this is only the beginning. The military Industrial complex is already extremely influecial and powerful, wait and see what they will be selling, this time next year.

I'm reminded of a course I did with engineers at Mitsubishi Electric in the early 90s. At the end if the course, the engineers had to give a presentation in English about a product they were involved with. One guy gave a very good explanation of the software that was designed to control a missile defense system. (At the time I wondered whether he should be talking about this.) Anyway, after his talk, one of the others asked the question, "The SDF have purchased a system from the USA and not ours. What is the main weak point of our system?" The guy, as calm as you like, replied, "It doesn't work."

and which missile are you talking about?

Note that most of the present missiles utilized by the JSDF presently were developed in the early 90's. Presently most of the guided missiles utilized by JSDF are domestically developed.

Now if you are saying they don't work then you'll have to show some proof.

Apologies if my memory is a little weak. But it was the software that didn't work, not the missiles. If I recall correctly, the software was concerned with detecting missile attacks, and then triggering a counter strike.

This is Japan Today. I'm not sure I need to show proof of anything. I did add the 'nostalgia alert' warning. Some may interpret that as 'senility alert'.
