>In Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that "Japan's leadership is attempting to accelerate militarization," with reference to increased defense spending under the Sanae Takaichi administration. Amid escalating Japan-China tensions, he expressed Russia's firm support for China's position on the Taiwan issue, inferred that Russia would provide China with military assistance in bringing Taiwan back under China's control, and made veiled threats about the consequences of Japan interfering.>This appears to refer to Prime Minister Takaichi's parliamentary response regarding a Taiwan contingency potentially constituting a "survival-threatening situation," the Japanese government's proposal of a record-high defense budget for fiscal 2026, and considerations to revise the three non-nuclear principles. Lavrov pointed out that the "acceleration of militarization" under the Takaichi administration "will clearly have a negative impact on regional stability."Source:https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/c5993ae64bfc1aa80ba17f8036e6546ea4030addI am under no delusion that Russia's much-diminished military could provide any meaningful aid to a Chinese marine invasion of Taiwan. Nor am I deluded enough to believe that this is anything more than lip service from Russia to China--probably directly requested by China--in relation to China's crashout over the Japanese PM stating that Japan would defend Taiwan from invasion as a matter of national self-preservation. However, I hope that statements like these from Russia convince Japanese that they have skin in the game, that it is better to kill Russians in Ukraine than in Hokkaido, and that Japan should start sending real military aid to Ukraine.
>>64687626Could Japan alone bottle-up the Russian Pacific Fleet?
>>64687642A country without a Navy has sunk a third of Russia's black sea fleet. This isn't even a question.
>>64687642i'd love to see in what state languishes the pacific fleet. if the black sea and north sea fleet are a bunch of undermanned rustbuckets good only for target practice, the state of the ships docked at vladivostok leave much, much to be desired.
>>64687647Does Japan have anti-ship missiles?>>64687654Are there even any dry-docks in the Russian Far East?
>>64687626>Russia will help China invade TaiwanOh god, the Chinese are doomed.
>>64687642Only threat Russian fleet possess are submarines. Most vessels are old and lacked maintanance for decades, you can see it with Moscow flagship of Black Sea navy that was barely operational. Russian surface fleet is a joke even in soviet times it was first place to cut funds. This is also why first ever hard kill APS was developed for Soviet Marines, because they had no money to switch T-55(steel armor) to T-72(composite armor), so hardkill APS was band aid solution so marines tanks won't get blown up by any retard with at weapon.Submarine fleet on other hand got multiple upgrades and is more or less well maintained(for russian fleet that is).Subs are great for sinking other ships but not much else. They can preform limited missile strike but that's it. And of course there are balistic subs.
>>64687671>day 602 of the 3-day taiwan rebellion suppression operation>a russian ballistic missile putters out during boost phase, falls on a city block in coastal china killing 10000>chinese officials claim zero casualties
China demanded that their Russian poodle say something vaguely threatening towards Japan, and the Russian poodle obeyed.
More reason to give more stuff to ukies: the more they kill and destroy, the less those cock hungry mongoloids from mosqueof will have to threaten others
>>64687671They were doomed even before, because for all the money and propaganda chink china has it's still organically a soviet regime. Their best bet is to have someone like Trump cuck out and surrender on Taiwan's behalf as a yet another piss deal.
>>64687626>Russia will help China invade Taiwando they have sea-going horses?
>>64687671Cant wait for Copelord's indebt analysis on the naval landings
>>64687669>Does Japan have anti-ship missiles?One of the more advanced anti-ship missiles in the Western Alliance.Mach 3+ and ~350-400km range.

>>64687626Russia would demolish that shirty island without outside intervention, Russian losses in the crimean war and the Russo-Japanese war only happened because of British intervention. Russia literally moss that pedo island any day of the week.
How many west taiwan ships will crash into each other when they try to attack Japan?
>>64687669Japan has 300 Type 12 ASM missiles spread across 7 batteries and 90 F-2s that can launch ASM-3 missiles. The Type 12s are basically group launched LRASMs with a Mach 1.5 terminal phase and the ASM-3 is a Mach 3 250 mile range missile.
>>64688334*ground launched LRASMforgot picrel of ASM-3
>>64687669>Does Japan have anti-ship missiles?One of the best land based anti-ship missile systems and like thousands of missile stockpiled.The structure of their army units seem to be 6 tubes per launcher4 launchers per company4 companies per regiment1 independent firing company and 7 regimentsSo 696 tubes just for their land based systems and probably a fuck ton more missiles for reloads. Then another 392 tubes for their navy so over a thousand tubes of ready to fire missiles and thousands of stockpiled missiles. That is just their AShM tubes ignoring things like SM-6s and the Tomahawks they are getting that can be fired out of their 1200 Mk41s. They have a whole fleet of F-2s that can carry 4 traditional ASMs, 2 of their supersonic ASMs, or 4 of their new 1000km stealth ASMs. A whole fleet of P-3Cs that can carry 4 harpoons. A whole fleet of P-1s that can carry 4 traditional ASMs or 4 of their 1000km stealth ASMs. I think they are also upgrading their F-15s to carry AShMs as well, but unknown how many.
>>64688306>t.
Salivating at mere thought of the zigger Pacific fleet getting dismantled.
