GSDF Long-Range Missile Training Shown During Japan-U.S. Joint Exercise
Published
Japan's Ground Self-Defense Force conducted training with the long-range Type 25 Surface-to-Ship Guided Missile during the Japan-U.S. joint exercise "Resolute Dragon 27." The training was made available to the media on the 25th.
The Type 25 Surface-to-Ship Guided Missile is a missile that Japan introduced in order to acquire a "counterstrike capability." Counterstrike capability refers to the ability to strike enemy bases and other targets with missiles when attacked by another country. The Japanese government has been developing this capability to strengthen its defense forces.
This exercise is training carried out through cooperation between Japanese and American forces. The forces of both countries worked together and confirmed their movements in conditions close to actual operations. The government and the Self-Defense Forces aim to deepen cooperation with their allies.
In this way, Japan's defense posture is being advanced under Japan-U.S. cooperation. It is expected that through continued training, the capabilities and coordination of the Self-Defense Forces will be further strengthened.
