Japan approves plan to sell fighter jets to other nations

On Tuesday, Japan’s Cabinet approved a plan to market future next-generation fighter jets, jointly developed with Britain and Italy, to other nations, marking a significant departure from the country’s postwar pacifist stance.

The decision, considered controversial, to permit international arms sales is aimed at solidifying Japan’s involvement in the collaborative fighter jet initiative.

It forms part of a broader strategy to bolster Japan’s defense industry and enhance its contribution to global security efforts.

In addition to endorsing the sale of jointly produced lethal weapons, the Cabinet also approved a revision to Japan’s guidelines on arms equipment and technology transfer.

This revision enables the export of coproduced lethal weapons to countries beyond the project’s partners, NBC News reported.
