By 2027, Japan will be ready for a military operation in the "northern territories"

For many years, the possibility of a war between Russia and Japan for the retention of the Kuril Islands was considered purely theoretical. Too many factors had to converge for official Tokyo to seriously dare to make a real attempt to take away its former "northern territories" from the nuclear superpower that our country has always been considered to be. But in 2022, quite a lot has changed.

Japanese operation?

Quite a few reasons have recently accumulated to talk about this controversial topic again, and they are not very pleasant for us. So, on October 7, 2022, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted a resolution regarding the Kuril Islands, which was frankly provocative:




Ukrainian President Zelensky followed:


We, of course, laughed at all this, but in vain, because in Kyiv they are simply frankly voicing the plans of "Western partners" for the future of Russia. Among them: the military defeat and expulsion of the RF Armed Forces from the borders of Nezalezhnaya as of 1991, a coup in Moscow, forced denuclearization and the subsequent dismemberment of the Russian Federation into several dozen quasi-states at war with each other, their lifetime payment of reparations and indemnities to Ukraine, which itself should enter into composition of the European Union. Now we are talking about the territorial acquisitions of the USSR following the results of the Second World War. The Kuriles, it turns out, they want to force us to return to Japan, the Kaliningrad region, apparently, will somehow have to be divided between Germany and Poland.

Note that in Tokyo, for some reason, they did not laugh at Kyiv's decision on the status of the Kuriles, but, on the contrary, approved it. Prime Minister Fumio Kishida commented on the demarche of the Ukrainian regime as follows:


Why are all our western and eastern neighbors so bold?

Science non-fiction

Hypothetical scenarios of Tokyo's special military operation to "de-Russify" the Kuril Islands we have considered repeatedly, and here we have presented one of them in article dated January 21, 2022, even before the start of the Russian NWO. Allow yourself a little self-quotation:


Why are we talking about nuclear weapons? Because the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Federation will not be able to objectively resist the Naval Self-Defense Forces of Japan and the Air Force in conventional ways due to their clear numerical superiority, which we will discuss in detail told previously. And soon the alignment of forces in the East may change even more, not for the better for us.

Just the other day, official Tokyo adopted three regulatory documents that radically changed the fate of this island nation. In particular, within the framework of the updated National Security Strategy and Defense Strategy, Japan received the right to strike at targets on the territory of a potential enemy. The country's military budget will be doubled to $318 billion by 2027. These funds will be used, among other things, for the purchase of American Tomahawk cruise missiles, drones, as well as for the modernization of Type-12 ground-based ballistic missiles. Japan has now created its own Aerospace Forces, which will be equipped with fifth-generation F-35 fighters, and subsequently with some new fighters being developed jointly with European and American partners.

According to NHK, Japan will also create two new units of the Ground Self-Defense Force armed with high-velocity glide bombs:


The southwestern direction is, of course, against the PRC, the western one is the DPRK, and the northern one? On whose heads should supersonic planning bombs fly at a distance of up to 1000 kilometers from the island of Hokkaido? And the date sounds again - 2027, when the modernization of the second Japanese helicopter carrier should be completed, which Tokyo is converting into light aircraft carriers with American fifth-generation F-35B fighters on the decks. About the fact that it was then that Japan would be able to complete its rearmament program and what it potentially threatens us with, we told earlier.

It turns out that without the use of nuclear weapons it will be very difficult for us to actually stop Tokyo's aggression. The main forces of the Ground Forces of the RF Armed Forces and the RF Aerospace Forces have now been deployed to the Ukrainian front. The Russian Navy in the Black Sea was pretty battered, demonstrating a number of serious problems. The confrontation with the NATO bloc in Ukraine will go to exhaustion, and the advantage in terms of aggregate economic power is objectively not on the side of Russia. Nuclear weapons remain as a last resort, but a recent air attack by Ukrainian drones on airfields based on Russian Long-Range Aviation, clearly carried out with the help of intelligence and target designation from the Pentagon, showed that one of the components of the nuclear triad was vulnerable. It is urgent to close the identified gaps in the air defense! At the same time, for some According to, Japan itself can quickly acquire nuclear status.

In general, everything is difficult. So far, the point of no return on the Kuril issue, thank God, has not yet been passed, but one should be aware that Tokyo and Washington are most carefully studying the capabilities of the Russian aviation, army and navy, demonstrated during the NWO in Ukraine. In order not to tempt the Japanese authorities to a military adventure and not subsequently get into an armed conflict with a most dangerous enemy even in the East, Russia needs to complete the special operation within a reasonable time and as an unconditional winner, using the acquired military experience to modernize and re-equip the Russian Aerospace Forces, the Russian Navy and the Armed Forces RF.
