Japan’s navy is one of the world’s largest and most capable. After over 70 years, it’s gaining aircraft carriers again. Yet, given the fact its neighbor and possible adversary is China - is all that enough to have Japan's navy protect Japan? This video goes in depth in its ships, submarines, weapons and naval aviation - as well as future procurement plans. And compares those with China's analogues.

Sorry, not sure what happened there... what was I saying? Oh yeah, you have been listening to Fox News too much, China doesn't have bots trying to push a narrative 🙄.
China isn't accounting for Japan's dormant Gundams that are acting as tourist attractions.
Not to mention their space battleship.

23:15 A budget increase from $150 billion to $320 billion is 133%, not 56%.
23:30 32.5% of $320 billion is $104 billion.
You are spot on. So many videos over the years can't get their math right. Does anyone review these videos before posting? I have corrected DOZENS of math mistakes over the years and I never get a response. (Maybe this person will respond) Even economists who I correct do not respond. The world is mathematically illiterate.
This is also a huge pet peeve of mine! In figures like these people for some reason start at the $320 billion number and not the $150 billion number. They think, "O, $320 and $150 means a 56% increase!" and somehow forget that $320 billion is over twice $150 billion! How can you more than double something and not understand the increase is over 100%! This is so baffling (and annoying) to me!

China is unfortunately an underdog in this war. US allied forces are going to have a military expenditure of $2.5 trillion US dollars. The US spends $800+ billion on its military, and Japan spends $320 billion on its military. The amount goes up to $1.12 trillion, nearly half, and if you account for all other NATO military spending, it is up to $1.52 trillion, with the other being in ASEAN, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, India, etc. China, on the other hand, spends only $225 billion, which is less than 1/10 of US allied force military spending, and has way fewer personnel (a fraction) than the U.S. allied force military. With this in mind, it is clear to me who the underdog is. Unfortunately, I don’t often hear anybody supporting China in Binkov's comment section.
Unfortunately? I take US hegemonie over Chinese hegemonie any day. Anyone in the west that doesn't is either very misguided or an insane ideologue.
You see don’t see much support for Chynuh because they are a communist dictatorship and raycyst state that tries to bully and threaten all of their Asian neighbors. Not to mention the bio agent they released a few years ago that killed millions around the world.
People underestimate China and think their navy is made of plastic, or they overestimate China and think they will dominate the world.
Truth is right in the middle.
If you're talking about an open water battle in the Sea of Japan or the South China Sea, sure, but we also have to keep in mind that China can make everything so much worse with just one "simple" trick, namely the invasion of Taiwan.
With that, it could rely on its frankly massive air and amphibious fleets and attempt to overwhelm the island, which is the concern that the US, Japan, ASEAN, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, and India probably want to avert with a tripwire comprising a fraction of their forces. And a power as far away and multi-interested as the US cannot keep all of its forces in one location all the time and has to spend more on expeditionary support vessels like replenishment ships. It's not necessarily a slam dunk for the Allies.
That said, one can't just compare dollar amounts like that; power purchasing parity varies, and what is accounted for in the military budget varies. Even this is a complicated subject, and I think you would get that by watching a specialist in defence economics, so here you go
ruclips.net/video/mH5TlcMo_m4/видео.html

China's posturing has cost them by alarming countries into doing something before China starts something. Like cutting off rare earth metals. No less the 5 new sources came up when China threatened to stop allowing the US buy them. So, they lose market share out of aggressive stupidity.
The math doesn't add up. 32% to 33% of 320 Billion dollars is much more than 60 Billion dollars. It is at least more than a 100 Billion dollars. But Binkov says it is just 60. Am I missing something here?

Isn’t Japan pumping out new submarines every year? They put out two Taigei class subs recently.
I've been reading and watch videos recently about the battles of the Eastern Solomons and Santa Cruz. You come away greatly respecting the IJN. The USN too. Of course, this is not to give a pass to the Japanese atrocities in East Asia, but Yamamoto did not want war with the US and the IJN did not commit these atrocities. The US needs the IJN to build up it's strength.
Remember that the IJN land forces committed atrocities on the southern front. I'm proud of the IJN, but I don't believe they're completely innocent.

Equipment figures are cool and all, but what's even more important is the people factor: how good are the operators of that equipment? Japan has a very professional, disciplined, detail-oriented culture, not just in the military, but in general. Japanese are extremely competent in much of what they dedicate themselves to.
China does not have such a culture. I have strong doubts that the Chinese will be up to the task.
And I'm not just saying that because I live in Japan and am biased. It's the honest truth of the matter.
So be it. You can sleep well and eat well with nuclear water contaminated foods now.
These are just your imaginations. In fact, Japan's military power is far from China's. There are also no advantages in terms of military technology for China. Japan is only a vassal of the United States. Many of his military-technical aspects were constrained.
on military side, do u know that China is experiencing the longest period without war on its centuries of history? If yes, how could u doubt the people?

Chinese military scientists have announced a "huge breakthrough" in laser weapon technology.
The scientists, from the National University of Defence Technology in Changsha, have claimed that they have developed a cooling mechanism for laser weapons which will enable high-energy lasers to run "infinitely" without any waste heat accumulation, the South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported.
“This is a huge breakthrough in improving the performance of high-energy laser systems,” said the researchers' team led by Yuan Shengfu in a study published on August 4 in Acta Optica Sinica, a Chinese-language peer-reviewed publication.China is aiming to increase the already staggering power of their most powerful combat laser ever to a cruise-missile-destroying 500 kilowatts (kW) of pure energy capable of destroying enemy's aircraft and missiles.
Making a 500kW laser is not that difficult.
However, this will require a 1.5MW power source and a huge amount of heat generation countermeasures.
Laser cannon is a system integration technology that includes fire control, power control, and cooling technology.
China is the leader in drone tech.
The reason they are going sub is because the hypersonics makes warfare above water almost impossible. The issue with subs is that there is no guarantee that new detection techs won't obsolete them in the next decade as AI assisted detection equipment are advancing quickly.
same with the russians I'm not expecting much competence from the PLAN, they have piss poor seamanship, damage control, and training, we knew this for decades of observation
It's always good to be prepared, we must always be on alert so America isn't caught by surprise like during WW2

Two fallacy in your comment: most of China’s neighbors will stay neutral in actual conflict since they are all within Chinese ballistic missiles range and U.S. has not had blue water war experience since ww2. They just sail a lot and bombard Stone Age countries at coastline
The WW2 veterans are mostly dead or dying . And afghanistan veteran secretary of state is suffering from prostate cancer . Experience is such a wishy washy , depending on when you’re born 😂😅😂
JMSDF is built up with only one goal in mind, that is to become an anti-submarine division of US 7th fleet.
Don’t underestimate Japan. Don’t underestimate Japan. Look at WW2. They put on a clinic in the first couple years of WW2.
It makes no sense. The Chinese navy has hypersonic anti-ship missiles with a total tonnage of more than 2 million tons and a range of more than 1,000 kilometers that is more than 5 times the speed of sound. Japan only has a fleet of 400,000 tons of displacement and poor Harpoon anti-ship missiles of Mach 0.8 with a range of 200 kilometers. The Japanese navy is lagging behind in terms of both quantity and quality. Considering that the tonnage of China’s fleet launched in one year is that of the United States, India, Japan and all NATO members combined, any country that wants to challenge China militarily is a clown.
@@Scowcz those hypersonic missiles are likely not going to work if they're to be used, since isn't the technology practically brand-new and still untested in combat?
@@merafirewing6591 they can just be lobbed at japanese ports like conventional ballistic missiles even if they can't hit a destroyer out at sea. Sinking a japanese ship in port is the same as sinking it out at sea.

With this defense spending, Japan is producing "Island defense anti-ship missile". This is missile will have the range of 2,000 km. If deployed on Okinawa, all of China's Hu line is within reach of its radius. The Hu line consist of 94% of China's population and productivity.
I think the Type 003 carrier will go into service much earlier than 2029. It's currently undergoing sea trials and I expect it to be ready for deployment in 2-3 years. DItto for the J-35 carrier stealth fighter.
Japan and South Korea’s history of conflict remains a barrier for their shared interest in countering China. An alliance between S.Korea and Japan would be very powerful
I agree with you to an extent, but at the same time you don't see China attempting too hard to drive a wedge between Korea and Japan, no more so than they're just generally meddling with everyone. I just feel like in the western media, you never really hear about the Korean gov't yapping with the CCP publicly. But at the same time, there's just no way if China is shooting at Guam and Japan and sinking American ships, they're not also flinging missiles at Camp Humphreys, right? Once again, western media isn't really out there pumping this news, but there's an absolute ton of US military infrastructure in Korea, and it is a whole lot closer to China than Japan. If they don't hit us, then heck yeah I'm all good with Korea staying out of it. In this crazy scenario we're talking about where China is dropping missiles on everyone everywhere I doubt Korea really believes it can stay out of it.
Yeah, no. Japan and South Korea are diplomatically at odds, but South Korea and Japan have both had official statements willing to do joint defense for one another in case of Big C and in case of ROC being invaded.
Once Big C gets involved, any and all inconsequential quibbles between Japan and SK will take a back seat. It has to. And both know it.
An Asian alliance against the West would be much more beneficial for them but they would rather be puppets

Japan has already updated the Mogami to the batch II Mogami. No that is rapid upgrading of the model! Mogami only has 90 crew as compared to 200+ on Aussie, Canadian boats. Somewhat disappointed the Canadians are so behind in innovations in these areas.
nice vid bro
In the sense of 'holding on till US forces gets here', it's pretty much a massive force to a point that it can be considered as 'they can hold on their own for quite a while'. Since China would not going to put all their force in one place at any one time, Japan has the capacity to defend itself to the teeth quite adequately. In fact, it's far more powerful than one of NATO member force, it's no slouch and is one giant of a naval force.
many recent developments reveal that US forces are not going to show up, like at all.
I would love to see our Japanese friends & allies build an actual "from the keel up" aircraft carrier; though I'm happy they have decided to at least upgrade their "helicopter destroyers". It would be nice to have a Japanese fleet carrier on our side for a change!
Furthermore, I'm happy our South Korean friends are building up their navy.

Wow, you're seriously comparing the two?
Do you not realize that the US after WW2 essentially became the guarantor of Japanese security? The US has a treaty with Japan that says the US must defend Japan in the event they are attacked. The US has no such relationship with Israel.
Also, if Japan was attacked by China, it would the act of one sovereign entity attacking another sovereign entity. Gaza, however, is not a sovereign entity. Even before the current conflict, the UN recognized it as being under Israeli military occupation. Israeli troops had left in 2005 but since Gaza was still under a blockade the UN considered it to be under Israeli military occupation. China on the hand, is not under any sort of Japanese military occupation. That's just a tiny little difference between the two situations.
China attacking Japan is different on so many levels than the recent Hamas attack on Israel that calling it "apples and oranges" doesn't do it justice.

I like how Japan is already very powerful and they have only been spending 1% of GDP on defense which they plan on doubling to 2% GDP to ensure continued deterrence by potential aggressors. Besides Five Eyes, NATO, AUKUS and our bilateral military alliances with Japan and South Korea, we also have the QUAD with India, Japan, and Australia. This comparison while interesting people should take with a grain of salt and seems a bit irrelevant given that Japan will never face an aggressor without that aggressor also facing the wrath of the US Pacific Fleet.

You better study about Geopolitics.
Don’t talk Ideology and Favoritism in Geopolitics.
Look at the Whole Reality and Facts.
Real peace? When in history has that ever happened? Self-defense Navy of Japan is the world's third largest navy and Asia's second largest navy. While competitively being second is worse than coming first, this is not a foot race. Japanese navy furthermore is more professional and better trained than PLAN personnel and it's sailors (being mainly volunteers) are more dedicated to sea warfare than the Chinese. Japan furthermore is an island archipelago, which geopolitically focuses the Japanese on combined fleets sea and air defence, more than a land power like China.

Remembering the imperial Japanese navy, at the time it had more aircraft carriers than the US,
The Japanesse Navy is 1000 percent a top 5 Navy ... They have many outstanding destoyers ... About 10 of them Crusier equvilant... Several heli carriers as well..
always this channel have nice comments
Japan is one of the largest Economies in the world and they already have one of the best and largest navies in the world. They just need a Cash infusion and permission to make their military stronger.
The US should assist Japan in buildings at least one traditional aircraft carrier of the Nimitz class, non nuclear power. The Australians would possibly want one too.
The Japanese military should consider purchasing the V280 for their smaller helicopter platform ships as offensive weapons.
If these requirements are successful, China may increase military spending by 20-30%. Even with a 100% increase, its military spending is only 2/3 of that of the United States. Even so, it is still enough to build 3-4 aircraft carriers and equip them with carrier based aircraft and corresponding escort fleets. Japan's stagnant economy cannot withstand an arms race.
It is not the quantity but quality that matters
And PLAN has both at the moment
Quantity has a quality of its own.
And Japan has neither, now what?
Never underestimate your opponent
Japan has SLMUs (ship launched mobile units) which will be the great equalizer in any conflict with China.
Japan is an Archepelagic Nation. And has a mastery of the seas and a true Naval Power...Its experiences in the past and its familiarity on how elements play with the sea, could be the sources of their strenght...

The Hyuga and IS were both named for to hermaphrodite battleship-carriers that served the Imperial Japanese Navy in WW2. In the case of those ships Ise was the class ship, and Hyuga the second of the class. As built, they had 6 main turrets with two 14-inch guns each along the centerline. Four of these turrets were aft of the conning tower. Oddly, turrets 5 and 6 were removed, but turrets 3 and 4 were retained despite their very limited usefulness.

@greig9794 the US forward deployed CSG in Japan and thr JMSDF both have Anti Ballistic Missile defense capabilities via the Aegis BMD upgrade.
if you've seen any simulations at all you'll know 1 or 2 carrier battlegroups gets sunk every single time, in the first battle they partake in. Not to say china doesn't take losses too, but those CSGs go down.
DF 21 is not ballistic. It is a glide vehicle, it performs evasion. Ship launched YJ-21 are also a threat. It's also silly to assume they will launch their anti ship missile without a number of decoys. The only missiles capable of consistently intercepting mach 5-10 threats are SM-3, which are around in limited numbers.@@joelrodriguez9661
Let me tell you a fact, 95% of the drones currently in operation in the world come from China, and this still accounts for the majority of the civilian market. If the Chinese government opens up the manufacturing of military drones, it can produce tens of thousands of military drones a day. China has the world's largest civilian drone market and civilian operators, and military drone operators should also be the first in the world, The number and variety of unmanned individuals are also the first in the world, which is a fact recognized by the United States itself

@@OzIan1983 no, you don't, you have about 25 military-grade spy satellites that are likely able to locate a target at sea and then communicate that back
It is good to see that the US is playing a secondary role and South Korea and Japan are moving into the role of initial deterrent to China aggression in their region.
If you can really deter it, you don't need those mold bases.
Oh God finally a video about Japan.
I'm tired of all the videos showing the Taiwan issue as a US-China 1v1 when a very involved and important local player like Japan is just as likely to enter the frey.
How does Japan's 'self defense only' constitution factor in to this? Are they allowed to come to the defense of a neighbor even if their own territory isn't under attack?
@@atomic_wait they can do whatever the fuck they want to be honest
Yea. What push come to shove no constitution is going to stop Japan from jumping in if it feels the need to do it
@@atomic_wait They did change this interpretation. Plus as people say - in the end, country is going to do what country feels it needs to do. Regardless of lawfulness of such act.
And yes, defending an ally is now recognized in the same category as defending their own territory. It was pretty well covered change. Of course whether they will consider Taiwan an "ally" depends on what government at the time, with all of different tensions and pressure (both external and internal) will be dealing. As well as how big of an act of war that China will decide on will be. And how much danger it will be to Japan (whole point is that for Japanese, China waging war against Taiwan would be horrible - that is why they are likely to act).
@@atomic_wait they “reinterpreted” the article 9. Now they can assist their allies in war.
I find it unlikely that Japan will ever face any other nation alone.
日本需要被保护？？它没分成4份就已经是各国最大的宽容了
Japan building up a Navy today makes more sense today against China over Russia in the past. China's Navy does pose a credible threat to places like Taiwan and India-Pacific shipping, but I think we can all safely say the only threat the Russian Navy posed was to itself.
To be fair it would never be just Japan
It would be
Japan
Taiwan
South Korea
Canada
America

Also add one could be

No it won't. Where are the helps for Ukraine? Where are the helps for Israel? They will never send any ships and troops when things get real.
@@mikecql123We do not have formal mutual defense pacts with Ukraine. We don't have any bases in Ukraine. We have numerous bases in Japan. We have formal mutual defense treaties with Japan.
Australia is equally concerned with China and they don't have the lingering animosity with Japan that other potential allies have like S Korea and Taiwan. Right now, they are mostly in the "enemy of my enemy is my friend" with S Korea and Taiwan.
If Australia and NZ fully engage (which they will if the CCP attacks Japan and US bases in Japan) then UK and Canada will be right there. The Anglosphere is one military intelligence entity in many ways. The West as a whole has many times the money power and experience than china or russia and we're not all falling apart at the seam like UK and US.
They (China) don't want this war. I wish we could just play it in video games, all agree that US team is far superior AND playing on EASY while China player kinda sucks, has no experience less resources and is playing on HARD.
@@burtan2000 Yes, yes, keep typing your BS. When things getting real, none of the countries you mentioned would send over any troops and ships. They will never fight a war that is not in their favor, especially these days.
@mikecql123 There are two carrier battle groups off the coast of isreal
We have sent so much material and ammo to ukraine they once had 14 000 military in 2014 and have 500 000 now
They are arguably the second most advanced military on earth.

@missk1697 You can't even beat Japan and you still want to challenge the United States?🤣
In reality it won’t be just Japan against China. Add the US navy and Japanese navy then do a comparison. China May have a lot of ships but their operations tempo is sad compared to the us and Japan. Chinas aircraft carrier groups are sad and the Chinese haven’t even come close to deploying their aircraft on their carriers to combat effectiveness
Forget ye not the success of the soviets against the technologically superior Nazi's. There is something to be said for volume of resources, which unlike the US which only has in the region what it carries and Japan which is resource starved and easily isolated. China has a lot of resources, industry and production capabilities along with current and potential troop numbers. China would never go in for a toe-to-toe match, instead they will do as they have been preparing and deliver swarms of anti-ship long range missiles keeping their fleet within the missile defense range. This would have a big change in the battle dynamic as their numerical superiority would only need to hold the line whilst the missiles come from the mainland and rear forces to do the bulk of the damage. Their planes and ships may be inferior in quality but, when you are the only one able to replace losses, time becomes your friend
China dont come to your shore ,So its the US come to Japan and will face the PLAAF and the PLA Navy and the PLA long-ranged rocket force combined .
Where do you take time from to study the topics so thotoughly? So much data. Impressive 8-)
Japan has Eva and Ultraman. No worries.
China has Mulan gg
Don’t forget Godzilla.
quick answer = yes and that =ww3 since we (The U.S.A.) have a mutual defense pact with them, not to mention how many tens of thousands of our troops would undoubtedly get caught in the crossfire that are already stationed there.
A focused and motivated Japan will be a formidable opponent against the Chinese and a great ally for the US.
Not really.

bring back the Kido Butai !
It's been 80 years since the last large scale navy war. I think missile technology has improved exponentially since that time. Hence, one a ship is located, it will be like shooting fish in a barrel.
Probably not so. If a capital ship stupidly got caught in short range, perhaps.
But assuming any ship of real value is at least a couple hundred miles at sea from any missile threat and sailing evasively, a missile would have to be very large and sophisticated to make the adjustments needed to hit a target... something at least today the US and its allies don't think China or Russia is capable yet. And, the defensive systems aren't just for show. The nearly 100% performance of the US Phalanx in Ukraine shows the US has the capability to shoot down even hypersonic ballistic missiles and US systems are being mounted on allied nations' ships as well.
@@tonysu8860 missiles are cheap compared to interceptors. and missiles can carry multiple warheads and decoys which all have to be shot down. Stuff in ukraine is blowing up everyday from Russian missiles because there is a finite number of Patriot interceptors the US can build a year and that number is alot smaller than the number of offensive missiles Russia can build.
If you play that game with china. you'll run out of interceptors on the first week.
@@hughmungus2760 no one is threatening China as she is to her neighbors, her many missiles can’t take Taiwan, so she is safe .

I know its a 1 on 1 but the japanese navy realistically only needs to hold the line long enough for the US warfleet to sail
US won't have a warfleet if they fight China buddy. Japaneses navy realistically won't exist after 1 hour of hostilities.
To answer the question, I would say YES! They did it once, and I believe they can do it again.
