Is Japan eyeing Ukraine-style asymmetric warfare against China in defence shift?

Japan's new defense white paper emphasizes the integration of drones, artificial intelligence, and other advanced technologies into its military strategy, signaling a potential shift toward asymmetric warfare capabilities in case of a conflict with China. Experts suggest this approach draws inspiration from the Ukraine war, where smaller forces used innovative technology to challenge a larger opponent. The document highlights Japan's focus on adapting to a more complex security landscape by leveraging autonomous systems, long-range precision strikes, and faster innovation rather than directly matching China's military strength. Analysts note that Japan aims to exploit perceived weaknesses in China's defenses through these emerging technologies. This strategic pivot reflects growing concerns over regional security dynamics.
