At a time when control of Pacific sea lanes is contested, Japan is positioning its hypersonic electromagnetic railgun development as a strategic centerpiece, aiming to deter Chinese naval threats and shift the regional balance of power.
Tokyo’s latest demonstration, shown by state-run ATLA, displays a prototype railgun firing hypersonic rounds at a moving ship. As the projectile surged forward, the deck shuddered slightly under the silent electromagnetic pulse, while nearby crew members steadied themselves, their expressions a mix of awe and anticipation.
so what, japan is supposed to sit there while china builds up? or they’re supposed to rely on an increasingly erratic ally like the US to save them?
What anime shows are you watching that explain the historical dynamic between the Japanese and Chinese?
I’m sure you’re arguing with a literal Chinese shill.
yeeep
Did I say that or did I say that they’re buying dinky little water pistols when they’re itching to be struck with an ICBM? Because that seems like a much bigger issue than whether I personally support Japan’s remilitarization, which I just framed as a threat to global security. By essentializing Japan’s response to what you see as Chinese aggression, you’re just doing apologetics for fascism.
Pfft a rail gun doesn’t shoot water it shoots rails, obv
y’all keep forgetting that russia wanted to nuke you.
Zhenbao island remembers, maybe you should learn some history.
Russia wanted to nuke Canada?
apparently this was the wrong reply for the wrong person lol.
I mean I’m not saying they didn’t but I’m referring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Soviet_border_conflict
Ah, gotcha.
Russia just plays the “I’m not touching you” game with us in the north.
bwahaha nice way to put it, I’m not flying my possibly nuclear armed bomber in your air space… juuuuuuuuuust off it… nya nay… fun games that shit
Oh gurl, we’re over here balls deep in uranium pretending like all those stockpiles are for clean energy. Not our fault those difficult-to-monitor-because-they-run-continuously-reactors spit out plutonium.

Haha you’re actually bonkers. And have no idea what the fuck you’re talking about. Is japan rolling all over the south pacific threatening fishing vessels? ramming other vessels? no, that’s the chinese navy, having temper tantrums that anyone else dare use “their” south pacific.
You’re so deluded you probably buy into all the silly ass 9-line shit huh?
it’s all so silly. your real enemy still occupies your own cities, denies you the easy expansion to lands already full of ethnic chinese… but you’re too weak and stubborn to realize that losing a navy over Taiwan is a silly way to waste time when you could just go take Yongmingcheng back from the thieves who stole it from you. A lot more resources up there too.
Nah, you want to try to rollerskate up hill in the snow against a headwind. Bright.
Fascism is when a country I don’t like produces military technology .
Fascism is when the United States bankrolls fascists, and scoops up all of their loot after the war. It seems like you’re unclear why the US is even allied with Japan in the first place. Is that how you think the world works: countries like each other, they love each other, they want to protect each other against the bad countries? I must be such a fun view of the world. Have you ever seen that Team Fortress 2 short where we get to experience the Pyro’s worldview?
Fascism is when countries with vested interests support each other.
