As a defeated country in World War II, Japan is still furiously brushing the sense of military defense presence on a global scale, according to media reports, after Russia launched a special military operation against Ukraine, Japan has sent two batches of military aircraft to Ukraine's neighboring countries for the delivery of military equipment, Japan's military equipment includes body armor and helmets, and there are photos showing that Ukrainian military personnel have worn body armor and helmets provided by Japan. But this does not mean that Japan's support for the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is over, and Japan will provide tents, cameras, and other graduation materials to support Ukraine for some time to come.
The Ukrainian side has begun to request Japan to provide high-resolution satellite images, the current Japanese equipped with a lot of synthetic aperture radar, they can pass through the clouds and the atmosphere between day and night to capture images, and these satellites are not all owned by the Japanese government, many of which are equipped with private companies, the Current Ukrainian side requests Japan's commercial operation satellites to provide Ukraine with information on Ukraine's territory, in order to complete the operation against the Russian military, However, because the purpose of the use of these satellite images is military, the Japanese National Security Agency is still assessing whether it can provide such satellite assistance to Ukraine.
According to the control rules for the use of Satellite Data in Japan, these satellite images provided to overseas users must be encrypted to prevent data from being acquired by their competitors, but it does not say that these satellite images cannot be used for satellite images and used in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, which also means that Japan's turmoil is getting deeper and deeper.
NATO has sent a large number of electronic reconnaissance aircraft to conduct long-term circling in the airspace around Ukraine. These reconnaissance aircraft include the E-3A early warning aircraft, the E-8C battlefield surveillance aircraft, the RC-135W electronic reconnaissance aircraft, the MQ-4 Global Hawk unmanned aerial vehicle, which completes several flights per day, and they are able to monitor the situation on the battlefield in Ukraine and provide intelligence to Russia and Ukraine.
Regardless of whether Japan will openly provide high-resolution satellite images to Ukraine, Russia must be careful, the current guerrilla warfare carried out by the Ukrainian military has been assisted by a large number of electronic reconnaissance aircraft, synthetic aperture radar and satellites, so the Russian army will also suffer frequent losses, of course, the Russian military's radio information leakage is also a point that cannot be ignored, which can only prove that the current level of modernization of the Russian army is insufficient.
