新型導彈的特點與目標

這些新型導彈將具備以下特點：

• 遠程打擊能力：能夠攻擊遠距離目標，增強日本的防禦縱深。
• 高精度打擊：能夠精確打擊敵方艦船的脆弱部位，以及穿越日本多山地形，精確命中地面目標。

防衛省表示，這些導彈的主要目的是「預防和消除入侵部隊」，以應對多重地區威脅。 

開發時間表與預算

根據計劃，該合同將持續至2028年，預計新型導彈將於2032年完成。此外，日本政府已撥款約9390億日元用於增強防禦能力，包括：

• 16.8億日元用於12型地對艦導彈的開發。
• 3億日元用於潛射導彈的研製。
• 29.3億日元用於島嶼防禦的高速滑翔導彈的開發。  

國際合作與地區安全

除了自主開發導彈外，日本還計劃從美國購買400枚戰斧導彈，並提前部署部分戰斧導彈和12型地對艦導彈。此外，日本與美國合作，共同開發AIM-120先進中程空對空導彈，進一步加強防衛能力。 

美國國防部長皮特·海格塞斯在訪日期間強調，日本是「遏制共產主義中國軍事侵略不可或缺的夥伴」。 

Japan Enhances Defense: Developing New Missiles to Counter Potential Invasions

Japan’s Ministry of Defense has recently signed a contract worth 32 billion yen (approximately $216 million) with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to develop new long-range precision-guided missiles aimed at bolstering the Self-Defense Forces’ capabilities. 

Features and Objectives of the New Missiles

These new missiles will possess the following characteristics:

• Long-Range Strike Capability: Enabling attacks on distant targets to enhance Japan’s defense depth.
• High-Precision Targeting: Capable of accurately striking vulnerable parts of enemy vessels and traversing Japan’s mountainous terrain to hit land-based targets with high accuracy. 

The Ministry of Defense stated that the primary purpose of these missiles is to “prevent and eliminate invading troops” in response to multiple regional threats. 

Development Timeline and Budget

According to the plan, the contract will last until 2028, with the new missiles expected to be completed by 2032. Additionally, the Japanese government has allocated approximately 939 billion yen to enhance defense capabilities, including:

• 16.8 billion yen for the development of Type 12 surface-to-ship missiles.
• 3 billion yen for the research and development of submarine-launched guided missiles.
• 29.3 billion yen for the development of high-velocity gliding missiles for island defense.  

International Cooperation and Regional Security

In addition to developing missiles domestically, Japan plans to purchase 400 Tomahawk missiles from the United States and expedite the deployment of some Tomahawk and Type 12 surface-to-ship missiles. Furthermore, Japan is collaborating with the U.S. to co-develop AIM-120 advanced medium-range air-to-air missiles, further strengthening its defense capabilities. 

During his visit to Japan, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth emphasized that Japan is “an indispensable partner in deterring Communist Chinese military aggression.”
