Today's Japanese Military

[Chief]

Do to current's event's with NK, test underground nuclear testing. A lot of question's has been asked. Little is known about Japan's current military. This is the question at hand.

How strong is the current Japanese military?

What are their current capabilities?

Any information on the weapon's they use, aircraft they use, manpower. Anything that could proove useful.

They also are tentatively F-35 recipients too. They had talked about F-22s, but I think that State Dept nixed that one.
