Japan Procures 400 US Tomahawk Missiles for Defense Boost

Japan's Defense Ministry signed a contract to purchase 400 US-made long-range Tomahawk missiles in a move to bolster its military capabilities amid escalating regional security threats from China, North Korea, and Russia. The purchase comes as part of Japan's efforts to strengthen its stand-off defense capabilities and counter potential invasions. The deal was signed with the US under a Foreign Military Sales agreement, and Japan aims to acquire the missiles between fiscal years 2025 and 2027. This move follows Japan's approval of a major defense policy overhaul and a significant spending hike, reflecting concerns over China's aggressive maneuvers in the Indo-Pacific region and North Korea's missile launches.
