Under the pretext of revising the "Three Principles of Defense Equipment Transfer", Japan has attempted to break free from the shackles of the pacifist constitution, and then throw stones for the so-called "transformation of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces" and even the adjustment of its military strategy. , and related actions have attracted much attention.
According to Kyodo News, in late May, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force and the USS Seventh Fleet "Lincoln" aircraft carrier strike group conducted joint training in the waters east of the Philippines. The Japanese side dispatched one helicopter destroyer and two frigates to conduct tactical drills with the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier formation that lasted for more than 10 days. The drills included joint patrols and channel blockades. During the same period, a Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force multi-purpose destroyer joined the USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier strike group to conduct adaptive training such as battlefield communications around the Yokosuka base.
The Japan Air Self-Defense Force also acts frequently. Recently, the F-35A fighter jets deployed at Misawa Base in Aomori Prefecture, the F-35C fighter jets of the US Navy and the F-35B fighter jets of the Marine Corps conducted a joint exercise of three models in the Western Pacific region for the first time. The two sides also dispatched E-2 early warning aircraft and EA-18G electronic fighter aircraft to carry out several short-term, multi-airspace and large-scale joint training.
In addition to joint exercises, the Japan Self-Defense Forces recently held the largest tank and artillery live-fire exercise in the country. According to Kyodo News, recently, the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force held the "Fuji Comprehensive Fire Exercise" at the Higashi Fuji Exercise Field in Shizuoka Prefecture. In recent years, the theme of the exercise is "defense of outlying islands". This time, the V-22 "Osprey" tilt-rotor aircraft temporarily deployed in Kisarazu, Chiba Prefecture was also deployed for the first time, aiming to demonstrate the combat capability of the Ground Self-Defense Force.
In addition to frequent actions in the military field, Japan has recently been trying to adjust its defense policies, with the intention of gradually breaking free from the shackles of the pacifist constitution.
According to Kyodo News, the Ministry of Defense of Japan is studying and discussing the revision of the "Three Principles of Defense Equipment Transfer" and application guidelines, with the intention of accelerating the development of Japan's defense industry by relaxing the standards for arms export.
