Deploy long -range cruise missiles, develop hypersonic weapons, and strengthen the "ground attack" dew!

[Global Times Special Reporter Chenyang Global Times reporter Ma Jun] The Japanese government took substantial pace in breaking the restrictions of the peace constitution. Japan's "Yomiuri Shimbun" disclosed on the 17th that the Ministry of Defense has identified two anti -aggressive Aegis destroyers in construction with remotely -on -ground attack cruise missiles. South Korea's "Korean Daily" said that the missile range was 1,000 kilometers, and the strike range was enough to cover the entire Korean Peninsula, and the coastal areas in eastern China were also within its attack range.

Japan will develop long -range cruise missiles based on the 12 -shore ship missile.

It costs huge sums of money to build two "super warships"

In 2020, the Japanese government excuses to respond to the threat of North Korea's missiles and prepares two new land -based Aegis anti -missile bases. But the plan was strongly opposed by Japan. According to the "Yomiuri News", several Japanese government officials have recently revealed that as an alternative to abandoning the deployment of the land -based Aegis anti -missile system, the Japanese government decided to build two anti -missile Aegis destroyers. The latest SPY-7 Aegis radar system, as well as the "standard-6" remote air defense missile that can deal with cruise missiles.

The "Yomiuri News" states that the eight Aegis destroyers in the active duty of the Self -Defense Force are mainly active in the surrounding waters of Japan. In the future, the anti -missile Aegis destroyer will be mainly "alert to North Korea missiles" in the Japanese Sea. The report also emphasized that the Japanese government is promoting three documents such as amending the national security strategy before the end of the year to "give the self -defense team's ability to counterattack." "If the Aegis destroyer deployed in Japan all year round is equipped with a long -range cruise missile, it will enhance the contribution to North Korea's military provocation."

According to the US "National Interest" website, the SPY-7 radar is more powerful than the radar function of the Aegis destroyer in Japan. It can detect, track and respond to complex ballistic missile threats at the same time, but its radar antenna is also larger and requires Japan The destroyer's hull was redesigned. Originally, due to the requirements of the anti -missile system on stability, the Ministry of Defense considers the design of avant -garde bipolar or three -body boats. However, in the end, Japan believes that "combat effectiveness needs to be formed as soon as possible", determining that the anti -missile Aegis destroyer still adopts traditional design, but it has greatly improved in terms of displacement, electronic equipment, and weapon installation capacity. The project is huge, and it is expected to cost more than 500 billion yen (about 3.7 billion US dollars), and will be built in 5 years.

Strengthen the deployment of remote cruise missiles

The "Yomiuri News" specifically mentioned that the Japanese government confirmed that the newly built anti -missile Aegis destroyer will be equipped with remote cruise missiles for the first time. It is said that the missile is an improved model of the 12 -type shore ship missile of the Land Self -Defense Force. The range is extended to about 1,000 kilometers and can be launched on the surface ship.

The 12 -shore ship missile was developed by Japan Mitsubishi Heavy Industry Group and officially served in 2015. This type of missile is about 5 meters in length, a bomb diameter of 350 mm, and a bullet weight of about 700 kg. Similar to most modern anti -ship missiles, it uses "inertia+GPS+terrain matching derivative+end active radar guidance" composite guidance method, which can plan the flight route halfway and have the ability to hide the enemy. At the same time, this design also makes it very suitable for transformation into long -range cruise missiles. The latest model of similar American "fish fork" anti -ship missiles has the ability to accurately attack land targets. It only needs to increase the volume of the fuel box and use a more efficient small turbofan engine to achieve the effect of increasing the range.

"North Korea Daily" noticed that according to the Japanese peace constitution, Japan can only concentrate on "special defense" that blocks enemy attacks. After equipped with remote cruise missiles, the Japanese anti -missile Zeng destroyer will have the so -called "counterattack ability". The counterattack ability refers to the enemy command center that cracks down on command missiles in advance, that is, "the ability to attack the enemy base", "this is the Japanese Liberal Democratic Party used the controversy of the peace constitution."

Japan's efforts to break through the restrictions of peaceful constitution and the development of ground attack capabilities have long been restricted by lack of remote strike means for a long time. In recent years, the United States has approved some advanced long -range missiles for the sale of Japan in the name of "China". But Japan is not willing to be subject to others in this regard. Since the 12 -type shore ship missiles have been in service, Japan has begun to develop the extended model, and it plans to increase its crackdown to 900 kilometers or even 1500 kilometers. The Korean Daily said without worry that "1,000 kilometers of range not only covers the entire Korean Peninsula, but also includes eastern China."

What's more vigilant is that it is not only the Aegis destroyer can be equipped with a long -range cruise missile. The latter only uses the surface ship as the launch platform. After lift, it can be controlled by the pre -designed route and data chain, and the requirements for the launch platform are not high. The Russian Navy has repeatedly launched a "caliber" cruise missile in Russia and Ukraine's conflict to crack down on Ukrainian targets thousands of kilometers away.

This also means that in the future, a large number of destroyers and frigates of the Japanese Maritime Self -Defense Force can theoretically be able to simply modify the ability to launch long -range cruise missiles. In addition, Japan is still developing a lament and air -fired version based on the 12 -shore ship missile. Once these missiles are equipped with a large number of equipment, the remote strike capability of the Future Self -Defense Force will improve unprecedentedly.

Simultaneously develop a variety of long -range strike weapons

In addition to cruise missiles, Japan is also purchasing or developing a variety of long-range ground-to-ground strike weapons simultaneously, including the US-made JASSM stealth cruise missiles mounted by the F-15J fighter, as well as the hypersonic missile launched from the air, ground, or surface ships. The so -called "attack ability against enemy bases". The outside world has noticed that the high -speed missile projects developed in Japan, especially the development of Japan, are very obvious for China. According to the planning of the Ministry of Defense in Japan, in the future, healing of hypersonic cruise missiles (HCM) and hypersonic gliding bombs (HVGP) will be developed simultaneously. HCM can maintain a cruise speed of more than 5 times the speed for a long time, thereby compressing the opponent's reaction time. HVGP is similar to the development of the hypersonic boom-gliding weapon that Russia, China, and the United States are developing. It has many advantages such as fast flight speed, strong penetration capabilities, and high strike accuracy. The Ministry of Defense claims that when HCM is fighting at sea targets, it will use armor -piercing warheads designed for penetrating aircraft carrier flying deck. Relevant schematic diagrams show that under the goal of satellites and drones, the missile launched an attack on the "opponent's carrier", of which "opponent" is very similar to the Scholarship deck aircraft carrier in China and Russia. When the Japanese media introduced HVGP, it also emphasized that it would be used for "outlying islands", and in recent years, Japan's strengthening of island -winning ability is considered to be China.
