North Korea has frequently launched missiles to threaten Japan and can't wait to improve its defense capabilities.It is seeking to develop cutting -edge missiles with the United States in the same period in order to strengthen deterrence together.
North Korea has launched multiple ballistic missiles in the past two days, so that Japan can't wait to improve its defense capabilities.Japan Economic News reported that the Ministry of National Defense of Japan considers the deployment of hypersonic missiles by 2030 to strengthen Japan's ability to counterattack regional threats.
On Thursday (November 3), the news of the Japanese Ministry of Defense was uneasy about the technology of developing hypersonic missiles in China and Russia, and believed that this pair of Japan and the United States was a big threat.Therefore, we are seeking to develop cutting -edge missiles with the United States in the same period in order to strengthen deterrence together.
According to the Nikkei report, Russia's invasion of Ukraine has changed the global security pattern.Japan, in East Asia, is most vigilant, a series of missile launch in North Korea and China's military warming.
In order to catch up with the rapid development of China and Russia, the daily defense department sought to step up the deployment of hypersonic missiles before 2030.
Reports pointed out that the speed of the hypersonic missile is five times or more of the speed of sound, and the flight trajectory is more complicated, so it is difficult to be shot down.
Sources said that China and Russia have mastered this cutting -edge technology and speculate that China may have been used in 2020.Russia earlier, it was put into use in 2019, and 2021 has tried to launch from the submarine.
Increases missile deterrence in three stages
Nikkei said that Japan has been promoted in three stages in three stages in improving missile deterrence.
In the first stage, it will consider purchasing the long -range cruise missile "Tomahawk" made in the United States, deploying it in Hokkaido, Osaka and Kyoto.This military reserve has been in a number of actual combat, and the Japanese side firmly believes that once the United States agree, it can quickly advance.
In the second stage, Japan will improve the domestic "12 -type land -to -ship missiles" to expand its current range of more than 100 kilometers to more than 1,000 kilometers.This improvement plan can be achieved in 2026.
The third stage is to introduce hypersonic missiles.Compared with Tomahawk and type 12 cruise missiles, this advanced weapon is unlikely that it will greatly improve Japan's deterrent ability.
The Japanese Prime Minister Kishita Tianshi will revise three security documents to strengthen defense capabilities at the end of the year. The development of hypersonic missiles will be one of them.
The Nikkei previously quoted the US Ministry of Defense's missile experts that China and Russia's new generation of missing missiles were likely to break through the US defense system.Therefore, it is a necessary strategy to develop hypersonic missiles in Japan and the United States, and it is also technically feasible.
Nikkei reports that the "comprehensive deterrent" strategy launched by the United States is to deepen cooperation with allies and integrate the power to improve the overall response.If the two countries complement each other's use of arms, their joint deterrence will increase.
