Japan will improve the winged rockets to protect yourself from China (photo)

New technologies will increase the range of launches of anti -ship coastal complexes Type 12 from 100 to 1000 kilometers. The shells will reach the coastal areas of North Korea and China. The military modernizes them to run not only from ships but also from fighters. The advanced version of the ground base is planned to be launched in 2024 - 2 years earlier. The Japan Ministry plans to create a support system and include all expenses in the budget application for the 2023 financial year.

Japan, according to the newspaper, has not yet unfolded landscapes of long -range attacks. According to Pentagon and other sources, China has about 1900 medium -range ballistic missiles and about 300 winged missiles that can be attacked by Japan. North Korea has hundreds of ballistic missiles. Two countries are developing a hypersonic weapon that flies in non -standard trajectories, it is difficult to intercept.

The problem with the modernization of rockets has become relevant after the first launch of China 5 ballistic missiles in the water of prefecture Okinawa in early August, Japan Times reported. The launch of rockets became part of large -scale military exercises around Taiwan in response to the visit of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi to the island. Tokyo has condemned Chinese exercises sharply.

Japan does not have more rockets, now the government will create a counter -struggle potential to impress hostile bases and management centers if necessary, journalists said. It is expected that the decision will soon be included in the country's national security strategy. Critics of the initiative say that the acquisition of counter-strike rockets will be a deviation from the traditional image of Japan as a Pacifist country that is focused solely on defense.

Japan Prime Minister Fumio Kisida has repeatedly stated that Japan is ready to significantly strengthen the defense potential for 5 years. Recall that the Chinese army wanted to send some of the soldiers to Russia for East-2022 training. The Ministry of Defense of the PRC noted that this is not related to the international and regional situation. China continues to patrol Taiwan with the latest submarines with supersonic missiles on board.
