The U.S. State Department has given the green light for a potential sale of 400 Tomahawk cruise missiles to Japan. Under this approved deal, Japan is set to acquire 200 Tomahawk Block IV and 200 Tomahawk Block V, along with associated equipment. The approval marks the culmination of longstanding discussions regarding Japan's interest in obtaining long-range land attack cruise missile capabilities through the Tomahawk platform. It underscores a noteworthy shift in Japan's military policy, particularly regarding the acquisition of 'offensive' weaponry. This strategic move by Japan is a direct response to escalating tensions in the Pacific region, compelling the country to enhance its counterstrike capabilities in the face of potential threats, with a particular focus on challenges originating from China.
