However, in recent years, with the improvement of China’s military strength, especially the increasing frequency of Chinese naval formations, including aircraft carriers and large destroyers, crossing the first island chain through the Miyako waterway, Japan has become more and more anxious and feels that the first island chain is becoming more and more untenable.
Therefore, the deployment of missile troops on Ishigaki Island is also intended to counter the actions of the Chinese Navy and strengthen the military ability of the United States and Japan to guard the first island chain.
At the same time, Japan has step by step strengthened its missile deployment in the “Southwest islands”, greatly increasing the ability of the United States and Japan to intervene in the conflict in the Taiwan Strait. To put it bluntly, “if there is a war, Japan will be able to help defend Taiwan”. No matter whether Japan uses these missiles when it really starts a war, at least in peacetime, Japan wants to use this move to deter us.
