Japan has decided to record a record increase in its military budget to better prepare its army for possible conflict.
In Japan, they decided to expand their military potential against the backdrop of a growing regional military threat from China. On Sunday, August 21, Kyodo reported.
The publication clarified that this is about 1000 long-range anti-missiles.
Japan’s Defense Ministry is discussing a record defense budget of more than 5.5 trillion yen ($40 billion) for the next fiscal year, sources said, and the number is not final and could rise.
A special role will be played by the missile defense detachment, which will be required to intercept missiles that Beijing has and which, according to Tokyo, could be used to attack Japan.
Earlier, the United States, South Korea and Japan conducted anti-missile exercises off the coast of Hawaii last week.
