defense ministry will deploy the missile force of the land self defense
force on Ishigaki Island, Okinawa Prefecture by the end of 2022 to counter
the increasingly active Chinese navy in the first island chain. 6park.com
The News quoted an official of Japan's defense ministry as saying that the
size of the force expected to be deployed on Ishigaki Island is 500 to 600
people, one of which will be equipped with shore to ship missiles and
surface to air missiles, and the other is a police force that can respond to
armed raids and large-scale natural disasters at the first time. 6park.com
Taiwan media pay attention to the location of Ishigaki Island and Taiwan,
and analyze that Ishigaki Island, which deploys anti-ship and air defense
missiles, is about 300 kilometers away from Taiwan. The missile range will
cover North Taiwan in order to "deter China". Lu Lishi, a Taiwan military
expert, told Deutsche Welle that this is part of Japan's "archipelago
defense plan" all along. If it is combined with Taiwan's "Xionger" or "
xiongsan" and the harpoon missile to be obtained from the United States, it
can prevent China from breaking through the first island chain. "Japan's
real purpose is to include the surrounding sea areas and islands, including
Taiwan, into its defense plan through the US Japan Security Treaty," he said

The so-called "first island chain" extends from Kyushu to the southwest to
Taiwan and is located in a strategic position starting from the Kuril
Islands in the north and Borneo in the south. At present, Japan has deployed
missiles on three southwest islands with a total length of 1200 kilometers,
including Amami island in Kagoshima Prefecture, Okinawa Island and Miyako
Island. The deployment of missiles on Ishigaki Island is to once again
strengthen the defense network of the first island chain. 6park.com
In addition, the Japanese defense ministry is also planning to install
electronic warfare forces on the US island by the end of 2023 and build a
new self defense force base on MAG island. |
