Japan's defense chief has urged for the enhancement of the country's anti-drone capability following a recent security breach involving a drone flying over a restricted navy port near Tokyo. The incident, which was captured in footage posted on Chinese social media, showed a Japanese aircraft carrier docked at the navy port, raising concerns about national security.
The defense minister acknowledged the seriousness of the security threat posed by the drone incident, emphasizing the need to address vulnerabilities in Japan's defense infrastructure. The drone footage revealed the presence of the JS Izumo, a Japanese helicopter carrier being retrofitted to accommodate stealth fighters, as part of efforts to bolster Japan's counter-strike capability amidst escalating military activities in the Indo-Pacific region.
