Japan: Media calls for increased surveillance of US drones in Okinawa
Increasingly intense military logistics maneuvers among the leaders of Japan and the United States in the Indo-Pacific to increase vigilance against “China’s feared expansionism” in the region. The US Army’s MQ-9 Reaper reconnaissance drones, temporarily stationed in Kagoshima Prefecture, will soon be transferred to the island south of the Okinawa archipelago, expects the Jiji Press agency, citing anonymous sources familiar with the dossier are familiar.
The unmanned aerial vehicles are expected to move from the Japan Self-Defense Forces air base in Kanoya to the US military base in Kadena as early as November to strengthen surveillance around the Nansei Islands in southwestern Japan, where Chinese naval vessels are increasing their patrol activities, albeit within the through limits permitted by international shipping laws. There are currently eight MQ-9 drones operating at the Kanoya base, where a task force of around 200 people is staying for a temporary mission that began in November last year.
In August, Jiji reveals, there was an accident involving a drone that deviated from its flight path while landing, which led to the cessation of patrol operations. In Okinawa in particular, there is currently a real tug of war between the central government and the island’s governor, Denny Tamaki, after the latter stopped for the umpteenth time during the renovation work for the relocation of the US base in Futenma in the residential area of Ginowan, for the less densely populated coastal area of Henoko, also within the island.
Since the end of World War II in 1945, Okinawa has hosted more than half of U.S. troops in Japan. Around 30,000 marines were stationed on the territory, with the bases occupying almost 20% of the island’s area. If, on the one hand, they have a significant impact, analysts say, on the other hand, they are also the cause of high levels of crime, of which the local population is the victim.
