Tokyo is creating strategic stocks of fuel and ammunition. Japan will expand fuel and ammunition storage facilities on the Nansei Islands. According to the Japanese leaders, the country is preparing for a potential military conflict in the Taiwan Strait. It is possible that the stocks of weapons can be used to supply the Taiwanese army during hostilities. To protect Japan, it is important for us to have not only equipment, such as planes and ships, but also enough ammunition for them. We will radically strengthen the defense capabilities we need, including our ability to deploy sustainably and flexibly - Japanese Defense Minister Hamada Yasukazu.
