Japan began flight testing an air-launched variant of its upgraded Type 12 anti-ship missile last week.1 The upgraded Type 12 missile has a reported range of about 1,000 kilometers.1 Photographs taken on July 30 at Gifu airbase in central Japan showed a Mitsubishi F-2B fighter carrying two inert missiles.1
China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson stated the country expressed strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to Japan's 2026 Defense White Paper.2 China accused Japan of targeting China with groundless accusations and rehashing the 'China threat' narrative in the defense white paper.2 China said the white paper contained brazen comments on China's Taiwan region and grossly interfered in China's internal affairs.2
China stated it had lodged serious representations with Japan over the defense white paper.2 Japan's missile program is part of efforts to build long-range strike capability against Chinese warships.1
