Japan approves plan to sell fighter jets to other nations

TOKYO — Japan’s Cabinet on Tuesday approved a plan to sell future next-generation fighter jets that it’s developing with Britain and Italy to other countries, in the latest move away from the country’s postwar pacifist principles.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi said the changes are necessary given Japan’s security environment, but stressed that Japan’s pacifist principles remain unchanged. The decision on jets will allow Japan to export lethal weapons it produces to other countries for the first time. Japan hopes the new plane will offer advanced capabilities Japan needs amid growing tensions in the region, giving it a technological edge against regional rivals China and Russia.

To address such concerns, the government is limiting exports of codeveloped lethal weapons to the jet for now and has promised that no sales will be made for use in active wars. The change cleared the way for Japan to sell US-designed Patriot missiles to the United States, helping replace munitions that Washington was sending to Ukraine.
