ALL weapons are forbidden under Japan's current constitution. They interpret their constitution the same way they interpret their history.
I was going to insult you and your mother... then I read a bit more...
(not the kanjigo version for obvious reasons)
The full text of the article in Japanese:
“ 第九条 日本国民は、正義と秩序を基調とする国際平和を誠実に希求し、国権の発動たる戦争と、武力による威嚇又は武力の行使は、国際紛争を解決する手段としては、永久にこれを放棄する。
二 前項の目的を達するため、陸海空軍その他の戦力は、これを保持しない。国の交戦権は、これを認めない。
”
The official English translation of the article reads:
“ ARTICLE 9. Aspiring sincerely to an international peace based on justice and order, the Japanese people forever renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation and the threat or use of force as means of settling international disputes. (2) To accomplish the aim of the preceding paragraph, land, sea, and air forces, as well as other war potential, will never be maintained. The right of belligerency of the state will not be recognized.
So... basically any *SDF gear is like toats illegal...
And after seeing what is happening in Y00kraine (and realizing that the UN is turning into an SDN parody quite fast, except for the healthy bloated bureaucracy)...
