Japan is a formidable ally to have in the coming conflict with China, and Japan has direct national interests in the region which is a strong motivation for them as well. Japanese naval assets and drones to patrol the sea are what Japan can bring to the table, not necessarily infantry. This will be a naval war. Bases on the Philippines are an ideal strategic advantage too, this cannot be overstated.

@newcreationinchrist1423 Год назад

Much of the war would also be fought in the air as well as it would take fighters to support each side's navy. Infantry would be more of a possibility if North Korea gets involved as there would be a lot of ground fighting.

@yaz2928 Год назад

Japan as currently is is an American vassal state, not an "ally" (that terms refers to independent states only). While the Japanese government may be willing to sacrifice millions of its people in a war against China on the orders of the US, the Japanese people might not be willing to do that.

@andrewmckenzie292 Год назад

Indeed, but its still not a sure thing. Put US Navy aside for a moment and China can probably defeat Japanese Navy quite handily, even with Taiwanese and South Korean Navy included. On the flipside, if it were say the Taiwanese Navy and an expanded US Pacific Fleet likely China could also prevail (but with quite heavy losses), when you put Japanese, South Korean, Australian Navies into the mix also it could really go either way. If it were far enough out from China's own immediate neighbourhood Chinese Navy would lose (and perhaps quite badly) but within their own immediate neighbourhood, its hard to say and would be a defining turning point in the power balance if China did prevail. The western Pacific would effectively become China's undisputed sphere of influence. This will likely happen inevitably, the question actually is will it be sooner or later.

In Europe, Germany has been the historical counterbalance to Russia. In North East Asia, Japan has been the historical counterbalance to China. China benefitted from Japan's pacifism & defensive posture. But, now that Japan's military budget will be the third most in the world. The #1 and #3 Economy alliance is going to be one of the most formidable Navy and Military alliance in modern times. The balance of power in Asia is going to shift to Japan in the coming years.

Japan's military force before the spending increase was already formidable, especially the navy and air force. It was 5th place in the world not 9th. It'll more than likely be third place with this spending. As we've seen with Russia and Ukraine, numbers alone mean nothing in modern warfare. For example on paper North Korea's air force is numerically superior than Japan's but one Japanese F-35 or F-15J can singlehandedly destroy North Korean 3rd gen fighter squadrons which have no radar for BVR.

@AllTradesGeorge Год назад

My guess would be that the majority of the projected expenditures will be on upgrading equipment, rather than increasing personnel. Japan was initially restricted, after WWII, to only having forces for national defense, and that's stayed their primary focus. Rather than increasing numbers, improving the capability of those numbers is the smarter long-term investment. R&D on planes and missile technology gives them an improved stand-off capability, allowing them to "dissuade" hostile forces before the vast majority of their military personnel is in any danger of being engaged in combat.

@arsyadidris6349 Год назад

Thats true. They dont really “need” soldiers per se. Coz… well… the day japanese soldiers are actually needed to lethally defend their country is the day their airforce and navy failed, basically. What i can guess is theyd hire more technical specialists to take care of their ever growing and ever complex assets and systems. i mean, its a relatively secure job afterall. Maintaining the national assets from the safety of the warehouses, hangars n docks. So what they have to do right now is make those sort jobs enticing for young japanese.

@Loki-Gab Год назад

Definitely will not happen again, they went through something most imperialist and colonialists didn’t went through, Japan is basically pacifist or even one of the most anti war today, they support Ukraine because Russia started the war, one time Japan was almost invited into joining in a conflict against terrorism along with allied countries, they were welcome to help, and since they were technically also a victim, but many were against it, so Japan even becoming an aggressor again is not likely to happen, I don’t think they’re gonna completely throw away their pacifism, just responding if there are threats near them, like invasion of Taiwan, and North Korea reckless missiles tests, and Japan economy is likely to boost, if China started being sanctioned by its neighbors, and since almost every neighboring countries of China hates them and has been bullied with their legal territories , Japan will likely take place to supply economy, and just take its place back as the number one economic supplier in Asia.

This is probably why China is reluctant to attack Taiwan, they may be able to defeat even an expanded US Pacific Fleet in their neighbourhood but Japan at full strength could also field a very strong Navy/military so really China needs their Navy and Air Forces to grow large enough to take on US military (more precisely what the US military can spare in such a conflict, as they'd still have to have basic defence of US homeland and it'll likely take time to realign US overseas military assets and wind them up to support a campaign against China), Japan, Taiwan, possibly South Korea, maybe Philippines, Australia combined...throw in possibility small contingent from UK as well and Canada.

1% of GDP is a really low level of defence spending for an advanced country. Bumping it up to 2% is really just them becoming more like other countries. It's surprising that Japan has been able to field the military it has with such a low level of investment, though I guess 1% of the third largest economy in the world is still going to be a pretty big number. They have a pretty big navy, and their air force is pretty decent too. It's the tiny army that's worrying, and the demographic decline that's happening there is shocking. It's only going to get harder to recruit people. Perhaps they could set up something like the French Foreign Legion, allowing foreign mercenaries to bulk up their army. If there's one thing they definitely have to do it's expand their stockpiles of advanced ordnance. If Ukraine has shown us anything it's that the paltry reserves of ammo most advanced countries keep is not even close to enough.

They actly already altered their constitution. In general, anyways. It was done in the late2010s, during the late Shinzo Abe’s second tenure as the PM. What we r seeing now is the affect of that. Initially the constitution state, along the line of “defense for the japanese homeland and its territories” now expand to “defense for the japanese homeland, territories AND ITS ALLIES”. That last bit is critical. It means when/if necessary, they would have the means to help its allies. And the ability to “help others” means ur beefy enough to counterattack and project power. Ie: without this altered constitution, the conversion of the two Shinano class from “helicopter destroyers” to fully fledged “light aircraft carriers” wouldve been unheard of.

Estimated range of this one is 300-500km (within the now defunct INF) so literal ATACMS/Iskander equivalent except it can hit ships and moving targets. Think shorter ranged PrSM basically. The second series would be the real deal, HGV with up to estimated 1000km range. Scramjet missile will come after those two.

They have also big indusrty that can make jets and all kinds of planes really. They are currently collaborating with UK to make 6th gen fighter. Huge economy to sustain a big and powerful army. This is no brainer. Japan has the 4th largest economy in the world! Highly advanced technology! Japan is one of the semiconductor giants of the world! They can make all kinds of sensors as well which are used in every advanced military technology.

And it's not certain that even that money will be actually available at all considering the trajectory of German economy. As for Japan...we will see, for now it's only political statements, and even if defense spending is indeed increased, it does not mean it will be used to the level that is proportionally- said increase in paychecks, inclusion of formerly civilian run programs and general operational costs of new systems might easily swallow most of it.

Poland, at least in terms of Army and Air Force, is back on the shopping cart, even though it has already "filled" another one.
