Japão alivia regras de exportação de defesa para o novo caça
March 26, 2024 - O governo do Japão aprovou a exportação dos novos caças que está a desenvolver com o Reino Unido e a Itália, a sua mais recente medida a afastar-se das políticas pacifistas.
It eased arms export rules to allow the jets to be sold to countries that Japan has signed defence pacts with, and where there is no ongoing conflict.
Japan has pledged to double military spending by 2027, citing threats posed by China and North Korea.
Each fighter jet sale will require cabinet approval, authorities said.
In December 2022, Japan came on board a UK-Italy collaboration, dubbed the Tempest, to develop this new fighter jet that will use artificial intelligence and advanced sensors to assist pilots, the BBC said.
