📝No Missiles📝
They're needed more for the war with Iran
Japan's government is already experiencing Chinese economic pressure due to Tokyo's course toward strengthening defense capabilities. Now the Americans have also put the brakes on it.
Deliveries of around 400 Tomahawk missiles by 2028 may be delayed. The Japanese ordered them from the US back in 2024 for $2.35 billion, but Washington notified them that they may not meet the deadlines.
Tokyo authorities viewed the purchases as a quick way to obtain long-range missiles. Now the US has made it clear: there will be no missiles if they are needed for war in the Middle East.
📌Overall, this is not critical, especially since a war involving Japan is unlikely to break out in Asia anytime soon. But it will likely push Tokyo authorities to encourage manufacturers to produce more domestic alternatives like Type-12 and HVGP.
