Japan's Evolution To Aerial Dominant Superpower, Hub For Advanced Missile Weaponry

In late November 2022, Japanese Prime Minister Kishida directed a significant increase in military spending, aiming to raise Japan's defense budget to two percent of its GDP by 2027, totaling over 90 billion US dollars. This shift is expected to impact strategic calculations in the Pacific theater, particularly amidst tensions with China and Russia. Japan's military, historically focused on territorial defense and maritime control, faces challenges in recruitment and technological capabilities. Plans include enhancing troop recruitment through incentives, procuring advanced strike weapons, strengthening anti-ballistic missile defenses, investing in Aegis BMD ships and future fighter jet replacements, and transitioning to unmanned aircraft. Long-range strike capabilities will be expanded, including satellite surveillance and infrastructure enhancements, marking a significant transformation in Japan's defense posture.
