U Yokohami je porinut golemi nosač helikoptera Izumo, najveći ratni brod koji je Japan izgradio od okončanja Drugog svjetskog rata. Porinut je usred diplomatskih razmirica s Kinom.

Japan porinuo veliki nosač helikoptera

Japanske su obrambene snage porinule svoj dosad najveći ratni brod od okončanja Drugog svjetskog rata, što je još jedan znak da je u istočnoj Aziji u tijeku svojevrsna utrka u naoružanju.

Riječ je o 248 metara dugom nosaču helikoptera, čija je izgradnja koštala oko 1,2 milijarde dolara. Zove se Izumo, na njemu će biti do devet helikoptera, nosivost mu je 19.500 tona, a imat će posadu od 470 elitnih marinaca. Drugi najveći japanski ratni brod je Hyuga, također nosač helikoptera, čija duljina iznosi gotovo 200 metara.

Izumo bi se trebao baviti pružanjem humanitarne pomoći, ali i onemogućavanjem neprijateljskih podmorskih aktivnosti. Iako je ceremonija porinuća, na kojoj je u Yokohami bilo više od 3.600 uzvanika, održana danas, brod će u punu uporabu ući tek za oko dvije godine. Dotad će biti u jednoj drugoj luci gdje će mu ugrađivati svu potrebnu vojnu opremu.

'Čuo sam da ovakvi brodovi mogu priskočiti u pomoć u slučaju velikih katastrofa. Bilo bi sjajno da smo imali jednog ovakvog kada je Japan udario tsunami u ožujku 2011. godine', rekao je za Reuters 45-godišnji Yukiko Satata, koji je promatrao porinuće.

Četiri godine mlađi Hiroki Shima upozorava na trenutne diplomatske razmirice Japana i Kine oko nekoliko spornih otoka. 'Štošta se u zadnje vrijeme događa oko otočja Senkaku i Takeshima. Čak i ako se ovaj brod ne bi koristio za napad, dobro ga je imati za obranu i da druga strana vidi što imamo.'

Kina je posljednjih godina znatno unaprijedila svoj program razvoja naoružanja, poglavito na moru. Nedavno je porinula svoj prvi nosač aviona, a već je najavila izgradnju drugoga.

U vodama oko Japana prisutni su i Amerikanci. Njihovi nosači aviona klase Nimitz prosječno su dugi 333 metra.

Takeshima (Dokdo) nije predmetom spora između Japana i Kine, nego Japana i J. Koreje. Na otoku boravi par Korejanaca i imaju poštu s poštanskim brojem...

Japonska mornarica prevzela največjo vojaško ladjo po 2. svet. vojni

BO JAPONSKA LADJO IZUMO UPORABLJALA TUDI KOT LETALONOSILKO?

Japonska mornarica je 25. marca 2015 v svojo (operativno) floto sprejela amfibijsko-desantno ladjo oz. nosilko helikopterjev Izumo (DDH-183), ki velja za največje japonsko vojaško ladjo po 2. svetovni vojni. Ob tem se seveda porajajo ugibanja, ali je Japoncem uspelo najti “luknjo” v ustavnih omejitvah, saj te Japonskim samoobrambni silam prepovedujejo posest ofenzivnega orožja – tudi letalonosilk.

Japonska amfibijsko-desantna ladja Izumo namreč z vzletno-pristajalno stezo od premca do krme omogoča pristajanje in vzletanje tako helikopterjem ter konvertiplanom V- 22 osprey, kot tudi palubnim lovcem 5. generacije F-35B (izvedenka za navpično vzletanje in pristajanje).

Ravno zaradi možnosti namestitve STOVL letal F-35 pa kritiki (vključno s kitajskimi) opozarjajo, da se lahko Izumo (DDH-183) pretvori v konvencionalno letalonosilko. Kitajci trdijo, da je Japonska vojska z novo helikoptersko nosilko postala najbolj smrtonosna samoobrambna sila na svetu. Nekateri vojaški analitiki tudi že namigujejo, da bo ta ladja vmesna faza do izgradnje nove letalonosilke, na kateri bodo potekala testiranja, vključno z usposabljanjem pilotov in tehničnega osebja za delovanje na pravi letalonosilki.

Japonska nosilka helikopterjev Izumo, z ugrezom okoli 30.000 ton, bo izboljšala sposobnost japonskih samoobrambnih sil pri reševanju podmornic, je japonski obrambni minister Nakatani povedal novinarjem ob prevzemu ladje v pristanišču mesta Yokohama. Nakatani je poudaril zmogljivosti plovila Izumo za pomoč ob nesrečah in v mirovnih operacijah, kot tudi za iskanje sovražnih podmornic.

“Kitajska ima letalonosilke, Izumo pa ni namenjen za prevoz letalnikov z nepremičnimi krili,” je dejal Nakatani in s tem mislil, da Japonska ne namerava uporabljati te ladje kot letalonosilko.

Novo japonsko nosilko helikopterjev Izumo (DDH-183) razreda izumo so gradili od začetka leta 2012 pa vse do njene splavitve 6. avgusta 2013 v ladjedelnici IHI Marine United v Yokohami. Prehod v operativno stanje v Japonski mornarici načrtujejo predvidoma marca leta 2015. Japonska mornarica ima sicer v svoji floti še dve manjši 19.000 tonski nosilki helikopterjev razreda hyūga, JDS Hyūga (DDH-181) in JDS Ise (DDH-181).

Amfibijsko-desantna ladja Izumo (DDH-183) v dolžino meri 248 metrov, v širino 38 metrov, doseže hitrost 30 vozlov (56 km/h) in ima do 30.000 ton ugreza, na njej pa je zaposlenih  470 mornarjev. Na ladji bo nameščenih 7 helikopterjev za protipodmorniško bojevanje (ASW), v floti imajo 85 Mitsubishi SH-60J/K, ter 3 helikopterje za iskanje in reševanje (SAR), v floti imajo 19 UH-60J black hawk. Namestitvene zmogljivosti sicer omogočajo operiranje s 14-imi helikopterji oz. največ 28-imi letalniki. Poleg tega ima ladja v podpalubju prostora za še dodatnih 400 vojakov, poleg 570 članov posadke, in 50 tovornjakov oz. oklepnih vozil s težo do 3,5 tone.

Japanska mornarica planira da u narednih 5 godina osposobi NHA Izumo da opslužuje avione F-35B.

Japan to launch first aircraft carriers since WWII as Government notes 'national rivalries are surfacing'

Tokyo will launch its first aircraft carriers since the end of World War II to accommodate a growing number of stealth fighters, long-range missiles and other equipment adding to the Japan Self-Defence Forces (JSDF).

The guidelines approved at a meeting of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's Cabinet call for refitting the Izumo helicopter carrier into a ship that can deploy expensive, US-made F-35B stealth fighters capable of short take-offs and vertical landings.

The work would be done over five years and the ship would carry 10 stealth fighters, while the refitting of a second helicopter carrier into a second aircraft carrier would follow.

The Prime Minister's guidelines would replace the current defence plan halfway through its intended lifespan and underscore Mr Abe's push to expand Japan's military role and capability to make it, as he puts it, "a normal country."

Defence officials say Japan needs better deterrence and increased missile defence and fighter capability as North Korea's missile and nuclear threats remains unchanged in the absence of concrete steps to dismantle them, and China's maritime activity has grown increasingly assertive.

The new guidelines say Japan needs to be well-prepared and to show it can withstand threats, noting the archipelago is prone to natural disasters and its coastline is dotted with vulnerable nuclear power plants.

Japan has relatively little land on which to build runways long enough for conventional F-35s, and an aircraft carrier would be particularly useful in the western Pacific, where Japan tries to defend remote islands, including those disputed with China, and to play a greater role as part of the US-Japan alliance.

Japan plans to buy 147 F-35s, including 42 F-35Bs, over the next decade. These stem from the same class of fighters procured by the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), labelled the "most lethal acquisition in the Air Force's history".

The new planes will include 18 short take-off and vertical landing (STOVL) B variants of the F-35 that planners want to deploy on Japanese islands along the edge of the East China Sea.

The islands are part of a chain stretching past Taiwan and down to the Philippines that has marked the limit of Chinese military dominance east of the disputed South China Sea.

"Japan's decision to acquire more F-35s is a testament to the aircraft's transformational capability and its increasing role in promoting regional stability and enhancing the US-Japan security alliance," Lockheed Martin said in a statement.

The navy's two large helicopter carriers, the Izumo and Kaga, will be modified for F-35B operations, the paper said.

The 248-metre-long Izumo-class ships are as big as any of Japan's aircraft carriers in World War II.

They will need reinforced decks to withstand the heat blast from F-35 engines and could be fitted with ramps to aid short take-offs, two defence ministry officials said.

Japan has the world's eighth-strongest military

Japan plans to spend 25.5 trillion yen ($315 billion) on military equipment over the next five years, 6.4 per cent more than the previous five-year plan.

Cost-cutting will free up another $24.7 billion for purchases, the procurement paper said.

Japan only spends about 1 per cent of its gross domestic product (GDP) on defence, but the size of its economy means it already has one of the world's largest militaries.

In 2018, the Global Firepower index rated Japan as having the eighth-strongest military in the world.

Wary of North Korean promises to abandon ballistic missile development, Japan's military is buying longer-range Raytheon SM-3 interceptor missiles to strike enemy warheads in space.

"The budget is increasing and there has been an acceleration to deploy capability as soon as possible," Robert Morrissey, head of Raytheon Co's unit in Japan, said.

The defence papers assessed non-traditional military threats as well.

A new joint-forces cyber unit will bolster Japan's defences against cyber attacks. More electronic warfare capabilities are planned.

Japan's air force will also get its first space unit to help keep tabs on potential adversaries high above the Earth's atmosphere.

Wartime Imperial legacy has China spooked

The step is a major shift in Japan's post-war naval defence, which has lacked aircraft carriers in part out of concerns that they may remind Japan's Asian neighbours of aggression by Japan's Imperial Navy.

Critics say possession of an aircraft carrier would give Japan a strike capability in violation of Article Nine of its constitution which explicitly outlaws the use of force to settle disputes.

Japan, under the new defence guidelines, also plans to possess cruise missiles designed to hit enemy targets, which opponents say could violate its pacifist principles.

China urged Japan to stick to a defence-only policy and peaceful development.

"Due to historical reasons, neighbouring countries in Asia and the international community have long been highly concerned about Japan's moves in military and security fields," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told reporters.

Japan was making "groundless and irresponsible accusations against China's normal defence construction and military activities" to play up the China threat, she said.

Japanese officials brushed off the criticism, saying the Izumo will be a multifunctional warship used as an aircraft carrier only when necessary for national defence.

Chief Cabinet secretary Yoshihide Suga said the vessel was mainly for fighter pilots in case of an emergency at sea and that it "falls within the minimum necessity allowed under the constitution."

Tih 42 f-35B je najverovatnije i predviđeno za mornaričku upotrebu. Taj broj aviona je svakako suviše mali da bi predstavljao bilo kakvu odlučujuću snagu na Pacifiku, ali je dovoljan za zaštitu plovnih sastava i PPD dejstva. Takođe, to je dovoljno da uspešno blokira rusku tihookeansku flotu, koja nema, niti će u perspektivi imati bilo šta slično.

Did Japan just get its first aircraft carrier since WW2?!?

This video talks about the Japanese navy biggest ship, Izumo, which was just trialed with F-35B fighter jets. Thus, after decades, Japan is to convert its two biggest ships into aircraft carriers.
