The country had specifically planned for the JASSM weapon to provide the latter capability for its upgraded jets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Asian nation also plans to operate a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/asia-pacific\/2020\/07\/15\/japan-highlights-f-35-acquisition-military-ops-amid-pandemic-in-new-whitepaper\/\" target=\"_blank\">future fleet<\/a> of 147 F-35 jets that can employ the JASSM. Japan is currently on track to be the largest non-U.S. operator of the fifth-generation stealth fighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The AGM-158B JASSM-ER can deliver a 1,000-pound warhead up to 575 miles away, while the longer-range AGM-158B-2 has a warhead weighing 2,000 pounds with a range of 1,200 miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other Japanese media outlets have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.japantimes.co.jp\/news\/2023\/08\/06\/japan\/japan-mulls-mounting-long-range-missiles-on-c-2-transporters\/\" target=\"_blank\">reported<\/a> the country is considering fitting a standoff missile capability on its Kawasaki C-2 airlifters, with the JASSM and the U.S. Air Force\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/people.defensenews.com\/top-100\/\" target=\"_blank\">Rapid Dragon system<\/a> cited as a possible option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Japan has sought to acquire long-range land-attack capabilities in recent years as it seeks the capability to strike at potential threats as well as counter North Korean ballistic missiles or attempts by an adversary to seize Japan\u2019s southern islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It had previously avoided acquiring such capabilities, as it deemed them too aggressive and in violation of its pacifist post-war constitution, which limited Japan\u2019s self-defense forces to possessing capabilities required only for defending the Japanese mainland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Japan plans to upgrade 68 of its Mitsubishi-built
