Now that Japan is determined to oppose Russia, the Japanese Ministry of Defense's unified staff announced on March 10 that the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force dispatched a large military transport aircraft numbered 08-1212 to provide military assistance to Ukraine, after the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force had already transported a batch of military supplies through a KC-767 large air tanker, and on March 10, the same trick was repeated, and the military aircraft once again went to Europe. The C-2 is a large military transport aircraft developed by Kawasaki Heavy Industries in Japan, which uses two large aisle ratio turbofan engines, making the C-2 the fastest large military transport aircraft, and the Japan Air Self-Defense Force has been equipped with c-2 transport aircraft in large quantities.
Previously, the C-2 transport aircraft of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force carried out the delivery mission of delivering relief supplies to Tonga in the South Pacific, this time Japan took the opportunity of military aid to Ukraine, once again using the C-2 for long-distance delivery of "troop training", before the use of KC-767 large air tanker for military assistance is also the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force's "training" operation, in 2021 Japan also used C-2 and C-130J transport aircraft under the pretext of evacuating personnel from Afghanistan. At the same time, he also took japanese Self-Defense Force personnel to Kabul airport for support operations. Judging from Japan's frequent use of military aircraft, the ambition behind it cannot be ignored, and Japan wants to conduct exercises on delivery capabilities in many regions.
Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered on February 27 that Russia's strategic deterrent forces immediately enter a state of combat readiness, and Russian Defense Minister Shoigu confirmed on February 28 that the Russian nuclear bomb was already on combat readiness, and the Russian Strategic Rocket Force, the Pacific Fleet, the Northern Fleet, and the Strategic Bomber Forces were all waiting for them. 202203156/Aviation Vision/AZ, Russia's nuclear bomb readiness comes from the provocative remarks of British Foreign Minister Tras, who openly welcomed the British to join the so-called international team in Ukraine and wanted to fight with Russia in Ukraine, for which Russian President Vladimir Putin publicly said that he attacked the provocation of aggressive remarks by POLITICAL leaders of NATO countries.
Russia began its attack on Ukraine on February 24, and the United States and the rest of the Western countries immediately imposed sanctions on Russia, and Japan also participated in the sanctions at a critical moment, while Japan also announced military assistance to Ukraine. On the issue of Russia's attack on Ukraine, Japan's attitude is very tough, and Japan also took the opportunity to attack Russia's control of the "four northern islands", claiming that Russia's "invasion" of Ukraine is of the same nature as the control of the "four northern islands". Although Russia has carried out anti-sanctions against Japan and included Japan in the "list of unfriendly countries and regions", Japan still "goes its own way" and insists on providing military aid to Ukraine.
Judging from the information released by Japan, the use of KC-767 and C-2 transport is a large number of body armor and helmets, Japan did not directly provide weapons and ammunition, while the United States and the rest of NATO countries provided a large number of anti-aircraft missiles and anti-tank weapons to Ukraine, the United States also tried to let Poland and other countries provide Ukraine with MiG-29 and Su-25 fighter jets, the United States is constantly arching fire, trying to make Russia's military operations against Ukraine continue, so it can further sanction Russia. Thus putting Russia into chaos. When the United States is pressing forward, Japan also jumped out, and in the face of Japan's provocation, Russia also has a countermeasure strategy.
