I should add that their constitution bans them from building "offensive weaponry," so they (theoretically) don't have ballistic missiles, bombers, or ships capable of offensive action.

You know, like submarines.

Their weapons sound pretty offensive capable to me.

So they’re building subs again?
And Apache helicopters?
I would also be very wary of their drone program. Drones can kill from far away and never endanger the operator.
Perfect for a small country like Japan.

Thanks for the info.
Need to let this sink into my brain and percolate a bit.

It wouldn't surprise me if Japs were busy working on nukes to go with those subs, while the rest of the world has been lulled into stupidity with Japanese anime.
