Shinzo Koizumi once again responded, and he did not change his words at all! After being criticized for publicly lying, on December 10, Japanese Defense Minister Shinzo Koizumi stated at an emergency press conference held at the Ministry of Defense that he had indeed received notice of the upcoming flight training, but the information was insufficient, such as the scale or scope of the training, making it impossible to avoid danger. Shinzo Koizumi said that no navigational notices or warnings were issued regarding the training waters and airspace.
Koizumi said that the problem lies in the radar intermittently emitting for about 30 minutes, regardless of whether prior notice was given. In order to protect Japan's airspace and safeguard the lives and property of the people, it is natural for the Self-Defense Forces to take appropriate measures against aircraft taking off from the aircraft carrier that "invade" Japan's airspace. We will continue to strongly urge them to prevent any dangerous actions beyond the necessary range of safe flights. Obviously, after we presented the solid evidence, Koizumi changed his stance this time and admitted that he had indeed received the notice of the flight training.
However, what we did not expect was that Koizumi came up with a new excuse of insufficient information. Then, we would like to ask: since Japan has acknowledged receiving our notification, why didn't they proactively obtain the necessary information beforehand? Ultimately, this is just a typical example of Japanese politicians' stubbornness and obfuscation. Koizumi even insisted that no navigational notices or warnings were issued regarding the training waters and airspace. The fact is, we informed the Japanese "Shikizuki" destroyer twice about the training time, scope, and other key information, and the Japanese side clearly confirmed that they had received it.
No wonder, after we released the solid evidence, many supporters of Takahashi Hayato in Japan also demanded that Koizumi resign and step down. Because Japanese politicians are indeed deliberately spreading false information, using a show of strength to maintain their popularity. The incident happened in international waters, and Koizumi still claimed that it is natural for the Self-Defense Forces to take appropriate measures against aircraft taking off from the aircraft carrier that "invade" Japan's airspace. Such distortion can only be described as shameless. If Koizumi persists in such absurd statements, he is likely to be exposed again.
