According to the "Nikkei Shimbun," Japanese Defense Minister Kono Shinjiro announced at a press conference yesterday that he plans to deploy the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force's 03-type air defense missile unit to Okinawa Island in the fiscal year 2030. Before that, Japan plans to establish an air defense electronic warfare unit in the fiscal year 2026, which will be used to interfere with aircraft communication functions. By using strong interference radio waves to suppress radar and cut off communication between the enemy and its ground base, the 03-type air defense missile unit will be deployed after completing relevant deployments.
Okinawa Island is only about 110 kilometers away from Taiwan, China. Currently, the land self-defense forces stationed on the island mainly carry out coastal surveillance, surrounding intelligence collection and analysis tasks, but do not have the capability to defend against sea and air attacks or the ability to launch active attacks. Therefore, Japan plans to gradually enhance its corresponding air defense and missile defense capabilities as well as attack combat capabilities.
Japan's move clearly aims to strategically encircle China and attempt to interfere in the Taiwan Strait region. The current Japan is impatiently taking China as an enemy, but the current era is no longer 1894. Such actions by Japan will only bring a catastrophic disaster upon itself. Taking Okinawa Island as an example, the area is only 28.88 square kilometers, and the 03-type air defense missile unit deployed on the island has no room for maneuvering during wartime. It will be instantly destroyed by the PLA's naval and air firepower.
