Under this approved deal, Japan is set to acquire 200 Tomahawk Block IV and 200 Tomahawk Block V, along with associated equipment. The approval marks the culmination of longstanding discussions regarding Japan's interest in obtaining long-range land attack cruise missile capabilities through the Tomahawk platform. It underscores a noteworthy shift in Japan's military policy, particularly regarding the acquisition of 'offensive' weaponry.
