WorldTekhno.com – According to Global Fire Power, the Japanese military is ranked 4th as the strongest military in the world. The Japanese military has a strength index of 0.1599. In the 4th position, however, Japan does not have as many military personnel as the United States, Russia, China, and India militaries. The personnel owned by Japan are only 250,000 personnel with reserve personnel of 55,000 personnel. And has a paramilitary of 14,000 personnel.
Japan’s military strength is the same as militaries in other countries, which is based on the army, air, and sea. In addition, it is also supported by weapons and military fuel.
For land forces, the Japanese military has 1,004 tanks, 5,500 armored vehicles, 214 mobile artillery, 480 crane artillery, and 99 rocket projectors.
Japan is preparing to build two of the largest surface warships in Asia. It can even be said that this ship is the largest deployed surface warship in the world. The two destroyers, whose names remain undisclosed, will serve as self-defense against ballistic missiles from North Korea and China, missiles that can be armed with chemical, or even nuclear warheads.
The ships will join a revived Japanese fleet that includes some of the world’s best submarines and a new pair of aircraft carriers. The Japanese ships will also dwarf China’s Renhai-class Type 055 cruiser. Currently, the largest surface warship in the world is the Russian Pyotr Velikiy battlecruiser, which is linked to the Moscow Northern Fleet, and is 827 feet long by 94 feet wide.
Launching Popular Mechanics, the two destroyers, according to a report by the US Naval Institute News, will be built specifically to launch the Aegis combat system, radar, and SM-3 missile interceptor. Each ship will weigh about 20,000 tons, be 690 feet long and 130 feet wide. The two ships will protect Japan from ballistic missile attacks from China and North Korea.
During the Second War, the destroyer was unusually large for several reasons:
- The ship is likely to carry Raytheon’s SPY-6 Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR), which is currently being installed on the US Navy’s Arleigh Burke-class destroyers.
- The ship must carry a relatively large number of SM-3 Block IIA missile interceptors to provide sustained defense. Third, both ships would spend a very long time at sea, their radars beaming constantly, waiting to detect an incoming threat.
The ship will need a large reservoir of fuel for propulsion, combat systems, and radar. Canada Today reports that over the past twenty years, Japan has gradually built up a ship-based missile defense capability. Japan has built eight guided-missile destroyers, each with the same missile defense capabilities as the Burke-class ships. The missile defense capabilities provided by the two ships were originally intended to be provided by a high-tech land base, known as Aegis Ashore. The two unnamed ships joined the larger and bolder Maritime Self-Defense Force, on par with the Japanese navy.
Japan’s uneasy territorial proximity to North Korea and China is forcing the country to expand its defenses. The Maritime Self-Defense Force will be responsible for undersea, surface, air and space threats, the last of which is through missile defense. ***
