Japan is concerned about the “growth of industrial activity” of the Russian Federation on the southern islands of the Kuril chain, as well as the direction to the placement of large types of activities in the Far East. About it informs Ministry of Defense last year is expected to “Japanese White Paper”.
In particular, in disclosing information about the discovery of hidden Bastion missile systems, a study was conducted in the Sea of Okhotsk. There are also joint exercises with China, including patrolling regions adjacent to the geographical borders of Japan.
We remind you that in Tokyo they consider the South Kuriles to be their original territory.
Judging by the contents of the White Paper, Tokyo is also concerned about the hypothetical build-up of military cooperation between Russia and China. According to Tokyo, the PRC is building a “world-class” army using artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies.
In turn, the Japanese continue, Russia uses methods of “hybrid warfare” in special operations in Ukraine, the frequency of using cyber attacks in Internet networks and disinformation campaigns. The Ministry of Defense said in a statement that Russia’s actions in Ukraine are “a unilateral change in the status quo in providing assistance to forces that have shaken the foundations of the entire international order, including in Asia.”
“There are fears that the effect of such unilateral changes in the status quo in the provision of aid may be exacerbated by proliferation in the Indo-Pacific region,” the creators of the document emphasize, believing that an adequate response, possible in a future threat, should be the expansion of Japan’s defense restrictions.
