The Japan Ministry of Defense’s (MoD’s) Acquisition, Technology & Logistics Agency (ATLA) announced on 10 May that it awarded a contract extension to Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (Melco) for the development of a ship-launched surface-to-air missile (SAM) system based on the Type-03 SAM system.

The contract extension, which is worth JPY10 billion (USD91.2 million), was signed on 29 March and follows a contract awarded in March 2018 worth JPY8.8 billion.

The SAM system being developed by Melco is expected to have a “stand-off defence capability” that will enhance the ability of Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) frigates and destroyers to also defend themselves against air-launched anti-ship missiles.

"In fact, in announcing the new National Defense Guidelines last December, Iwaya, the defense minister, admitted that the Izumo conversion plan was not based on requests or proposals from Self-Defense Forces leaders, but was adopted based on a top-down decision among high-ranking government officials."

I think you don't want me to comment, but give me a sign if you do

I called that idea to be fanboish bunk Feb 27, 2018


and now I see it's worse than that, as it's something Politicians imposed on their Military;

those particular Politicians could be gone in a year or so, the consequences of their megalomania left to Military to handle
The Jp government doesn't give a rat's ass of what you think.
