US and Japan Agree to Jointly Produce Air-to-Air Missiles in Japan

America and Japan have agreed to establish a facility in Japan to jointly produce advanced medium-range air-to-air missiles. Both countries have taken this step with the aim of strengthening regional security cooperation and defense capabilities.

Japan's Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi gave this information on Wednesday after a meeting with US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. He said that the missiles to be produced under 'Operation Supercharge' are necessary for the F-35 fighter jet. However, the detailed terms of the agreement have not been made public.
