KCNA commentary on Japan's reckless moves

The Korean Central News Agency issued the following commentary on Japan's reckless moves.

The Japanese Minister of Defense recently held a confab with the defense ministers of Britain and Italy and agreed to accelerate the joint development of the next generation fighters.

Japan, which had already embarked on its own fighter development with Mitsubishi Heavy Industry and other evil war criminal enterprises as the main axis, allured Britain and Italy into the "joint development" from December 2022, and shamelessly dubbed it an "international combat aviation plan".

The next generation fighter Japan is going to develop and deploy is known to be superior to the US F-35 stealth fighters and is a multi-mission fighter capable of attacking ground, naval and air targets.

The war criminal state, which had to make deep bows, talking about the abandonment of the right to belligerency and the non-possession of combat capability, while dropping the "crocodile's tears" before the international community for imposing huge misfortune and pains on mankind in the last century, is now getting hell-bent on possessing ultra-modern military hardware for preemptive attack. This is a violation of not only its constitution but also international law and a frontal challenge to mankind.

What matters is that Japan's moves for modernizing its armed forces under the signboard of international "research and development" are aimed at realizing the revival of the old imperial era by restoring the past "war alliance".

After all, Japan's pursuing of fighter development is not merely aimed at modernizing its military hardware but at expanding the military bloc to create an environment favorable for carrying out the war of aggression in the future.

If Japan persists in military cooperation with the "groups" of the old era, obsessed with the ambition of the "Leader of the East" and without proper recognition of the trend of the times, it will face only self-destruction, the commentary stressed.
