" This was reported on November 11 by NHK. The statement followed after joint flights of Russian and Chinese bombers near Japan. "Japan is in the strictest and most difficult environment in the post -war era. To protect our country, we must provide the necessary budget level and take decisive measures. We will strengthen our defense capability," Kisida said. He added that in such circumstances, Japan promptly begins the development and deployment of a long -range rocket to strengthen his defense.
On November 13, the Chinese military commented on the statement of the Japanese prime minister and accused Tokyo of a new round of arms race in the region. "The accelerated deployment reflects the expansion of Japan's military ambitions and will inevitably undermine peace and stability in the region, pushing it into a serious crisis and a vicious arms race," Global Times quoted.
China's military experts suggested that Kisida, when talking about the deployment of a long-range missile, meant a Japanese upgraded Type-12 missile, which was to be assisted by 2026 self-defense forces. This Party of upgraded Type-12 missiles will increase flight range to more than 500 km and can be used in the Taiwanese Strait. Chinese military expert Wei Dunsh noted that this sample is equipped with an inertial navigation system and enhanced satellite capabilities.
