Defense Budget: Due to the fundamental reinforcement of defense capabilities, the budget is on an increasing trend, moving beyond the conventional "1% of GDP" framework toward a "2% of GDP" target.
2. Main Capabilities and Strengths of Each Self-Defense Force
【Maritime Self-Defense Force】(High Anti-Submarine, Anti-Air, and Mine-Sweeping Capabilities)
As an island nation, the equipment and proficiency of the Maritime Self-Defense Force are among the highest in the world.
Major Vessels: Approximately 150 or more
Destroyers (including Aegis ships): Approximately 40
Helicopter Destroyers: 4 (The "Izumo" and "Kaga" are undergoing modifications to become de facto light aircraft carriers capable of launching and recovering F-35B fighters)
Submarines: A fleet of 22 (including the "Taigei" and "Soryu" classes, extremely quiet conventional-powered submarines)
Strengths: Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) capability and Mine Countermeasures (MCM) capability rivaling the U.S. Navy.
【Air Self-Defense Force】(State-of-the-Art Air Power and Surveillance Network)
It maintains a robust air defense system, including scramble launches against airspace violations.
Operational Aircraft: Approximately 400 or more (total of all aircraft is approximately 1,400)
Main Fighter Aircraft: F-15J (upgraded), F-2, and the latest 5th generation stealth fighters F-35A/B (being introduced sequentially), F-3 (under development)

Strengths: The Japan Aerospace Defense Ground Environment (JADGE) system covering all of Japan, and high operational capability of fighter aircraft.
【Ground Self-Defense Force】(Mobilization and Remote Island Defense)
It has shifted from heavy anti-tank equipment of the Cold War era to "remote island defense and rapid mobility" centered on the Nansei Islands.
Main Equipment:
Tanks: Approximately 700 (domestically produced Type 10 and Type 90 tanks)
Armored Vehicles & Combat Vehicles: Wheeled armored vehicle groups capable of high-speed travel on public roads, such as the Type 16 Maneuver Combat Vehicle
Special Forces & Amphibious Units: Has organized the "Amphibious Rapid Deployment Brigade," often called the Japanese version of the Marine Corps, maintaining the capability to recapture remote islands using AAV7 amphibious vehicles and V-22 Ospreys.
