Ministry of Defence Japan today raised the issue of revising its rules to allow the use of weapons to shoot down unidentified aircraft that enter its airspace, after confirming that several allegedly Chinese spy balloons have flown over the country in recent years.
The Japanese Ministry put forward this initiative at a meeting held this Wednesday with the ruler Liberal Democratic Party of Japan (PLD), the state network announced today nhk.
The possible revision of Japanese military regulations came after the Japanese Ministry of Defense confirmed yesterday that it had spotted three unidentified flying objects over its territory between 2019 and 2021 that were believed to be Chinese spy balloons.
Current regulations on Self Defense Forces (Japanese Army) limits the use of weapons to situations related solely to the defense of national territory or the protection of its population.
The situation in the airspace
The proposed revision by the ministry, which now has to be discussed by the ruling party, would be aimed at shooting down balloons or other flying objects invading Japanese airspace without permission, which would be a violation of international law and could be considered a threat to national security.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Defense consulted by EFE declined to comment on the measure, which was discussed at the meeting with the PLD, and indicated that the ministry “has not made any official statements about this.”
The ministry also said yesterday that it believes the three balloon-shaped flying objects spotted over the country in recent years “were unmanned reconnaissance balloons operated by China.” USA.
tension with China
This is the first time Japan ruled on this issue USA shoot down a so-called Chinese spy balloon that had infiltrated US airspace earlier this month.
Japan asked China “confirm the facts related to this matter through diplomatic channels” and urged that such situations “never happen again” as it is “an unacceptable violation of national airspace,” spokesman Hirokazu Matsuno said at a press conference today.
Government Japan “He will continue to search and analyze information further and monitor these foreign government aircraft more closely as we work closely with alliance and partner countries,” the spokesman said.
