HAS CHINA’S MISSILE FORCE GOT AMERICA’S KADENA BASE IN JAPAN IN ITS SIGHTS?

Chinese state television aired rare footage on Monday that appears to show the U.S. Air Force’s Kadena Air Base in Okinawa as a potential target of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) missile force. In a CCTV documentary called "Securing Victory," a satellite image of the airbase was displayed in the background as officers discussed exercises and combat scenarios, according to News – South China Morning Post.

The image, slightly out of focus, depicts an airfield surrounded by urban development and was used as a backdrop while PLA Rocket Force officers talked about missile drills. The broadcast was part of the documentary’s focus on the PLA’s growing missile capabilities, and the footage suggests that Kadena could be on the radar of Chinese missile planners.

Kadena Air Base is a key U.S. military installation in the Pacific, and its potential targeting by Chinese forces raises concerns about escalating tensions in the region.
