To maintain a threshold of deterrence, Japan and the United States are growing their mutual defense capabilities to new heights.
The United States military has deployed the Typhon missile system to Japan as a major set of deterrence capabilities against a rapidly militarizing China.
The Typhon system is now reportedly being eyed by various American allies.
Increasing PLAN incursions in Japan’s Economic Exclusion Zone (EEZ) in the East China Sea have nearly led to armed conflict.
With Japan increasingly becoming a flashpoint of aggression from China, North Korea, and Russia, stationing the Typhon to supplement the JSDF and US Forces Japan is timely and much needed for deterrence.
