Japan plans to buy multi-purpose helicopters for the Navy

35
The Japanese Defense Ministry announced its intention to purchase universal deck helicopters for its Navy, the newspaper writes MIC with reference to tass.



“We are considering various options for procurement of universal sea-based helicopters,” a military official told reporters. “These machines will be used to transport goods, transport the wounded, and solve other non-combat tasks.”

According to him, the helicopters "are supposed to be placed on the destroyer helicopter carrier Izumo (formally classified as an escort ship)."

The number of cars and the amount that Japan is willing to pay for them has not been disclosed.

The Izumo helicopter carrier in appearance resembles American landing craft, but does not belong to this class due to the current ban on the possession of Japan by offensive arms.

According to "MIC", "Izumo's full displacement is 27 thousand tons, it is able to reach speeds up to 30 nodes and carry on board 14 deck helicopters."

    So they aim to get to the Kuril Islands. Sly glanders are preparing. And not just the Japs in the Far East. May God grant the Russian leadership wisdom and opportunities to keep the situation under control. I'm not talking about the current leadership. The question is who will be in power in 15 or 20 years. After all, Russia only raised its head, and the Americans stsat, suddenly it will rise to its feet .. God forbid again, as in the 90s? It’s scary to think ...

      The United States directs them, arms them and, in the end, sets them up.

      definitely! Japanese militarism again raises its head, fed by the United States, it poses a threat to all neighbors - both China and Russia

      All neighbors hate the Japanese, for the atrocities that they did in the 1 and 2 world wars

      We are all lucky that China has now risen and that it is, as it were, an ally, the main threat from the aggressors is now in the Pacific Ocean, and if there hadn’t been China - which balances the forces of Japan and the United States - now it would be difficult for Russia and for all of us

      With the Kuriles, they fly no worse than plywood over Paris. And Tokyo is well aware of this ... And besides the "northern territories" they have a completely non-joking territorial dispute with the Celestial Empire over a couple of insignificant islands. At the moment, for Japan, this is a more urgent and pressing problem than the "return of the northern territories", since if the dispute is successfully resolved, it will allow the Land of the Rising Sun to "save face" ...

    And here there are double standards: "Oh, no, this is not a tank, this is a tractor. And there is not a cannon ahead, but an advanced ventilation system."

    Remember yes? "If something looks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck."
    And if the ship carries universal sea-based helicopters, then this is a helicopter carrier, and accordingly - offensive weapons.

      These machines will be used for transportation of goods, transportation of the wounded. The question is, where do the wounded come from, fishermen or what? Yes, and the Patriots post.

    and you go please them
    and the Poles, the Latvians, and the Estonians, and the Lithuanians, and the Ukrainians, and the Americans
    the only question is, to whom do you favor, and will there be a hundred?
    it’s a cruel world, where only the strong does what he sees fit, and the weak only wipes himself and suffers at the bucket
    draining Ukraine and Novorossia, our "land gatherer and kneeling man" showed his weakness and unwillingness to give back the way it was needed
    because all this pack of jackals under the supervision of the United States and arms against us. and they put with the device on all concerns and perplexities

      Alone, they will not trample, even with South Korea and the states with whom they have an agreement on mutual assistance, they will not trample. If, for example, we converge near Kiev or Talin with Geysoyuz in a meat grinder, then japas will not miss such a moment. Moreover, the Kuril Islands will be only the beginning.

      They won’t buy it, the F-35 will burn the deck there. The Japanese will buy the usual F-35s with shortened takeoffs for ground-based. If an aircraft carrier is needed, they will build it. For Japanese shipbuilding, this is a trifle.

        This is a technically solvable problem. Double layer

          F-35 should not burn the deck very critically, 50% of the rise is due to the fan. But the deck can be modified.

    At one time in the school in the 70s he wrote an essay on the topic of the self-defense forces of Japan. And the deeper he delved into the topic, the more clearly he realized how serious the enemy was the Japanese army, although it is veiled by self-defense forces.

    In fact, Izumo is a destroyer-helicopter carrier, he is superior to UDCs of the Uosp and Mistral type, since he has torpedo tubes and anti-submarine missiles on board. This vessel is not intended for island defense, but for offensive operations.

        Tricky is not the right word. Otherwise, why would they need TWO different modern MBTs - Type-90 and Type-10, attack helicopters - American Apaches and their own Ninja and artillery of 203 mm caliber?
        Plus MLRS and wheeled armored vehicles similar to the Striker M1128 and the Centaur (these are definitely not needed in defense)?

    This is not to go to the grandmother, as a former fisherman argue it is not a schooner, not a schooner. And they do not need turntables to drive Minka with a bearded man. I am glad that they now have rams with China. This is in our favor.

    The reason in the "northern territories" does not give them rest, apparently and mattress covers are "warmed up". The good news is that apparently it is not in vain that ours are building a base in the Kuril Islands, it is necessary to close the "hole" - the Far East.

      The distance from Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk to Tokyo is less than 1300 km, and from the islands of the Kuril ridge you can "spit" "KLIBROM" ANY RIGGER (high-explosive or with a language), anywhere in the country! Unfortunately, the JAPANS crawl in front of the overseas monkey on the PUZE and not only have forgotten who dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but they are driving hard into the Japanese heads that RUSSIANS did it!
