Japan is armed a warship with US missiles, which can attack targets at a distance of up to 1000 miles – in the context of the arms race in the Pacific.
The Japanese warship is on the way to the United States to equip the rocket of Thomagavk Winging – this is the last step of Washington and its Asian allies to build firepower, CNN's report.
The destroyer JS Chokai, equipped with Aegis system, was sent to the United States to deploy a year, in which the ship will be modified and trained on crew, allowing it to launch cruise missiles, mobilized from a flight of about 1,000 miles (about 1,600 km). This will lead to the fact that China or North Korea's deep goals will be within the reach of the Japanese warship.
In early 2024, Japan signed an agreement with the United States on the acquisition of 400 Tomagavs, part of Tokyo, plans to increase defense costs to fight against regional threats under the conditions that the Minister of Defense Gencan Pokanan is called the most serious and complex security since World War II.
Ukraine will not be able to use Tomahawk missiles
China's military activity is the Viking's biggest strategic issue for Japan, according to the Ministry of Defense's annual white book, published in July.
Beijing quickly increased its military potential, and activated activities across the region, Kindan said, representing the white book of this Muslim, especially the islands of Senkaku, a series of islands in the East Sea of China, also controlled by Tokyo, but also declared by Beijing
China has proved some of these new opportunities, including powerful missiles, during a military parade in Beijing on September 3, CNN recalled.
On that day, on the observation deck, along with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, Kim Jong -un, who checked new North Korean missile engines a few days later, and Russian President Vladimir Putin, who recently signed a defense agreement with Kim, CNN notes.
By announcing the sending of a destroyer to the United States, the Ministry of Defense of Japan said that the Muslims' self -protection forces were enhanced their defenses to block and destroy the Japanese invaders quickly and at a distance.
Although Tokyo refers to the Viking's defensive capabilities, in the Tomahawk group, Rockets is considered an attack weapon, CNN emphasized. In fact, the US Navy information voucher on these missiles said they were used to conduct ground battle activities, and the full name of the weapon is Tomagavk's missile, or TLAM.
When Japan asked to acquire Tomhawks in 2023, China was indignant in this step, accusing Tokyo violating Muslim Peace Constitution has been adopted after World War II, limiting the Japanese armed forces – Japanese self -defense forces – the role of exclusive defense.
The actions of the United States and Japan enhance the dynamism of the arms race, affecting peace and stability in the region, seriously violating the global strategic balance and stability and weakening international order, he said the official representative of Chinese Nin Nin.
Tomagavka is one of the most proven weapons in the United States, CNN countries. According to the Raytheon manufacturer, these cruise missiles can attack targets with high accuracy at a distance of 1000 miles even in the airspace well protected. In addition to naval surface ships, it can also be launched from submarines and platforms.
According to Raytheon, they were used for more than 2000 times, including in June, when Tomagavka launched from submarines used for US attacks on Iran's nuclear objects.
The Japanese Defense Ministry's statement said that they plan to prepare the Dokai destroyer for the real acts of Islam for the next summer as part of the process, including testing by shooting battle guns.
The first steps in this process were taken last week, when Chokai found the loading of Tomagavk ammunition to the cells of the vertical zoom.
Chokai Chokai is 528 feet long and weighs 9,500 tons equipped with 90 vertical boot cells, it can also be used to launch layer missiles from the Earth, against, anti -aircraft missiles and anti -submarine missiles, CNN notes. In terms of size and weapons, it is similar to the destroyers of the Arly Burke class of the US Navy.
In addition to the US Navy, the possibility of launching Tomagavs was shown by the British Royal Navy and the Royal Australian Navy. Australia joined the group in December last year after Tomagavka successfully launched, the HMAS Brisbane destroyer off the western coast of the United States. Kanberra plans to buy 200 Tomagavkov, at the request of the Australian Ministry of Defense, will allow their naval ships to “apply high accurate strikes at a large gap on ground targets”.
