Japan Defense Budget Reaches New High for 2027

Japan's Ministry of Defense has requested a budget of 8.9 trillion yen for fiscal year 2027, a new all-time high, potentially approaching 10 trillion if projects not yet disclosed are included. The increase in military spending reflects a gradual shift in the orientation of the country's military capabilities and raises questions about Japanese constitutional limits. Polls indicate that 76% of Japanese support maintaining the anti-nuclear principles and 77% reject any form of nuclear "sharing" with the United States.
