The topic of the comparison of military strength between China and Japan is almost a "menstrual topic" in the military circle, but this comparison is generally just a matter of data and parameters transferred by military fans on the Internet, and recently Japanese military expert Inoue Kazuhiko specially issued an article saying that "China's strength is not worth mentioning" "Japan is significantly ahead of China in the independent development and manufacturing of advanced **, and China wants to reach Japan's level, it is simply beyond reach."
Just looking at these remarks, I believe you can see that this person's level is also the level of a "strategic flickering bureau", but it is the people in Japan who are fooling, but his article implies that Japan has always been pursuing the ambition of a strong military force, and in line with the idea of anticipating the enemy's strictness, Xiong Xiong will take a look at what kind of ulterior secrets the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, which are "beyond the reach of China."
In fact, we should be clear that there is no national army in Japan today, and the so-called Self-Defense Forces are not national forces in the constitutional sense, and the Self-Defense Forces that were just formed in 1954 are indeed like a security force. Soon after, however, Japan's economy developed into the world's second largest economy, and a large amount of military spending was allocated to build this Self-Defense Force into a huge modern military force with nearly 250,000 troops.
Studying the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, it is not difficult for us to find the following characteristics, which Xiong Xiong will briefly analyze for you.
First, Japan's Self-Defense Forces are composed of the Army, Navy, and Air Self-Defense Forces, which are actually equivalent to the army, navy, and air forces of other countries, with a total number of about 2470,000 people, military spending of nearly $60 billion, per capita military spending among the highest in the world. Moreover, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces have always had a common practice, that is, there are many officers and few soldiers, and there are many frame troops, often with several hundred regiment-level troops, and once these units are expanded, then Japan's military strength will be at least doubled in wartime.
Second: The equipment of the Japanese Self-Defense Force** is updated very quickly, especially in the equipment of the Maritime Self-Defense Force. The Sea of Japan's most advanced conventional submarines and frigates often begin to mothball after half of their service life, and if these equipment are taken out in wartime, Japan's maritime military capabilities can be rapidly expanded.
Third, Japan is trying by all means to obtain its own research and development capability in the development of advanced equipment, and this is true for its main battle tanks, naval vessels, conventional submarines, and fighter planes. The most obvious example is that Japan is still vigorously developing its own mental fighter while deciding to purchase American F35A fighters, which shows that Japan actually does not trust the United States and is worried that it will be stuck at a critical moment.
Fourth, after the war, Japan took the opportunity of developing nuclear power plants to store a large amount of nuclear fuel, and it is estimated that there are 45 tons of plutonium, of which 10 tons are in Japan, which can meet the needs of hundreds or even thousands of nuclear bombs. However, Japan is still vigorously developing the launch technology of heavy and mobile carrier rockets, and everyone understands the relationship between rockets and missiles.
After seeing the above points clearly, you can understand the "confidence" of Japanese experts, but to tell the truth, although Japan has its own characteristics in the best equipment and has made a lot of efforts, in fact, it has not yet gotten rid of the clamp of the United States, and the United States resolutely does not allow Japan to master the core technology.
Today's China and its armaments have been moving toward the United States, an adversary, and it would be an insult to us to compare it with Japan. With our own efforts, we have built the J-20, the 094, the aircraft carrier, and the Dongfeng-41
Do you want to use the heart, the dragon class, the Izumo class and the rockets to argue with China?
