Japón planea brindar apoyo a largo plazo a las autoridades marítimas de Filipinas, Indonesia, Malasia y Vietnam. Esta medida tiene como objetivo contrarrestar la postura cada vez más asertiva de China en el Mar de China Meridional.

NHK ha sabido que la JICA de Japón desarrollará un plan decenal para apoyar a los cuatro países, que el gobierno considera una máxima prioridad en términos de seguridad.

El mes pasado se realizaron encuestas in situ en Filipinas e Indonesia. Se han programado actividades similares alrededor de abril en Malasia y Vietnam.

Los funcionarios japoneses discutirán el suministro de drones, sistemas de radar y lanchas patrulleras a cada país, así como el desarrollo de recursos humanos.

El plan detallado deberá presentarse en marzo del próximo año.

China reclama el derecho a controlar casi todo el Mar de China Meridional.

Beijing promulgó una ley que permite a la Guardia Costera china usar la fuerza en la región hace tres años, y otros países están en alerta máxima.

Iida Masafumi, experta en China del Instituto de Estudios de Defensa Nacional del Ministerio de Defensa japonés, dijo que mejorar las capacidades de seguridad marítima de los cuatro países les ayudaría enormemente a contrarrestar a China.

Rosoboronexport: 5 Países miran con ganas al Su-57

MOSCOW/TASS/. Five Southeast Asian countries show their interest in Russia’s Sukhoi Su-57 fifth-generation multirole fighter, CEO of the state arms seller Rosoboronexport Aleksandr Mikheyev said on Tuesday.

"We are holding negotiations with several countries. We see requests and interest. Southeast Asia, four or five countries [show their interest]," the chief executive said.

The Sukhoi Su-57 is a Russian-made fifth-generation multi-role fighter designated to destroy all types of air, ground, and naval targets. The Su-57 fighter jet features stealth technology with the broad use of composite materials, is capable of developing supersonic cruising speed and is furnished with the most advanced onboard radio-electronic equipment, including a powerful onboard computer (the so-called electronic second pilot), the radar system spread across its body and some other innovations, in particular, armament placed inside its fuselage.

The Su-57 took to the skies for the first time on January 29, 2010. Compared to its predecessors, the Su-57 combines the functions of an attack plane and a fighter jet while the use of composite materials and innovation technologies and the fighter’s aerodynamic configuration ensure the low level of radar and infrared signature.

The plane’s armament will include, in particular, hypersonic missiles. The fifth-generation fighter jet has been successfully tested in combat conditions in Syria.

The Russian Armed Forces received the first Su-57 fighter in 2020.

Russia’s Aerospace Force will get 22 Su-57 fighters by late 2024, and their number in the Russian Armed Forces will grow to 76 by 2028.

Japan Mulls over Requests for Defence Equipment from Southeast Asia

Japan is studying requests by Southeast Asian countries to donate military equipment but refuted reports that it has offered Malaysia the P-3C aircraft, which are pictured here.


The Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force (JMSDF) has said it is aware of several requests from countries in the Southeast Asian region for donations of excess defence equipment.

Besides military hardware, the Japanese government has also been approached by these Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries to share technical knowledge and expand on bilateral military collaborations.

Japan has donated five King Air TC-90 aircraft, which were previously in service with the JMSDF’s training squadron, to the Philippine government as part of wider efforts to improve maritime capabilities of its partners in Southeast Asia.

Two of the airframes have been delivered to the Philippine Navy, while three other aircraft are currently scheduled for handover in 2018. The JMSDF is also providing training support on the TC-90 platform for Philippine Navy pilots and maintenance crew.

To strengthen its defence relationships with countries in Southeast Asia, the Japanese government has embarked on several initiatives to improve maritime of government agencies in the region in recent years, especially with those from the Philippines.

Besides the transfer of TC-90 aircraft, Tokyo has also aided the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) to procure 10 new multirole response vessels from Japanese shipbuilder Japan Maritime United Corporation (JMUC). The PCG has so far received seven vessels in the programme, and is scheduled to receive the remaining hulls by the end of 2018.
