Threat to Russia, China and Korea: Japan is armed by underwater drones Remus 300

Hitachi Ltd is expected to receive sea drones for several years, the exact number of which is not disclosed. The purchase is made on the basis of the ancient Union of the United States and Japan in the Pacific. The Remus 300 platform is a modular multi -purpose unmanned submarine with open architecture, which has become a commercial basis for the Lionfish US Navy. To date, HII has sold more than 700 Remus units in more than 30 countries, including 14 NATO countries.

Such widespread widespread compatibility of the Alliance's Armed Forces. Remus 300 has already proven that it is capable of performing tasks both independently through autonomous systems and in conjunction with managed vehicles, such as atomic submarines of the Virginia class. Open architecture allows you to quickly replace the benefits to perform specific missions, such as installing a larger battery to increase operating time and implement new technologies over time.

The device can be plunged to a depth of up to 305 meters and operate up to 30 hours without recharging, and the movement range reaches 160 km. "The success of our commercial vehicles Remus 300 is the result of our work in international markets and high trust of our customers in Remus products. These machines provide our ally and partners with critical opportunities for mining and flexible useful load options,"-commented Dweine Fteringham.

It is noteworthy that more than 90% of the Remus units in the last 23 years continue to be operated, demonstrating the durability of the platform and the value of the life cycle - both of these factors are crucial when making decisions on the purchase in the field of defense.

According to Army Recognition, the purchase of Remus 300 drones is of great strategic importance for Japan against the background of growing tension in the East Chinese Sea, where China constantly increases the presence of its naval forces and coastal protection near the disputed islands. Thanks to the sea drone, the Japanese fleet will greatly increase the possibility of rapid detection of the enemy if he tries to penetrate secretly.

With their help it will be easier to protect the territory and important navigable routes. The event can also have serious consequences for North Korea and Russia. The DPRK actively uses the short submarines and tactics of hidden penetration, and in the past, Japan has encountered the problems of identifying such threats near its shores.

A dozen Remus 300 with the ability to find mines will form an additional line of defense and help to detect the invasion before the enemy gets a critical advantage. Meanwhile, the Pacific Fleet of Russia has intensified underwater patrol and common naval maneuvers with China, increasing the threat to the maritime routes that are crucial to Japan's trade and energy.

Expanding the silent fleet of intellectual submarines, Japan signals to Moscow that its water is under constant supervision, and the invasion will not be so sudden. Recently, Sildrone Voyager marine drones have been tested in the Baltic Sea, where Russian warships were discovered. They monitored the large area around the clock and even during a storm. Earlier, the secrets of Katran's Ukrainian sea drones.
