3:10Now PlayingJapan officially deployed its first long-range "standoff" missiles at Camp Kengun in Kumamoto Prefecture on Tuesday, marking a historic shift in the nation’s post-war military posture. The upgraded Type-12 land-to-ship missiles, developed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, boast a range of approximately 1,000 kilometers—a five-fold increase from previous capabilities that effectively places parts of mainland China within reach. Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi characterized the deployment as a demonstration of Japan’s "firm determination" to defend itself amid a deteriorating regional security environment. While the government maintains the move is necessary for deterrence, the deployment has drawn sharp criticism from local residents who staged protests outside the military facility, citing fears that the presence of offensive weaponry makes their community a primary target for potential adversaries.
