I know Japan used to have a bad arse military but I don't know anymore. I honestly think their military would surprise us.

They are dependent on the US just like South Korea.

Japan has a defense force, but I don't think they have much of an offensive capability. They can bomb, but they wouldn't be able to hold ground.

I think they could repel an attack (no idea about missiles fired at them) but I don't think they have the capability to be the aggressor.

I thought Japan had a small "defensive" military.

It's almost like someone put limits on the Japanese military after some conflict in the past.

They have a Self Defense Force, but it is not nearly large enough or well equipped enough to take out the NORK army, even with the NORK's outdated weaponry.

Japan and South Korea vs North Korea would be interesting.

after looking at that, I don't think they have the military infrastructure to beat North Korea not in a ground war at least

I still would bet the small Japanese military is still pretty bad arse.
