Zitat:Japan seeks record defense budget to boost capabilities in new areashttps://english.kyodonews.net/news/2020/...areas.html
TOKYO - The Defense Ministry on Wednesday requested a record 5.49 trillion yen ($52 billion) budget for fiscal 2021, placing a strong priority on beefing up capabilities in the new domains of outer space, cyberspace and the electromagnetic spectrum. [...] The request is up 3.3 percent from the initial budget for the current fiscal year through March 2021, with defense spending expected to rise for the ninth consecutive year under Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, who has pledged to advance the course set by his long-serving predecessor Shinzo Abe.
The ministry requested 123.7 billion yen, compared with 104.7 billion yen it sought a year earlier, for outer space. [...] Regarding electronic warfare, the ministry plans to set up a specialized unit of the Ground Self-Defense Force at the Asaka base straddling Tokyo and Saitama Prefecture. About 7.1 billion yen was sought for the purchase of devices to be installed on electronic intelligence aircraft and 3.3 billion yen was for research costs for a system to shoot down drones with a high-power laser.
