The Japanese government submitted a supplementary budget for fiscal year 2025 to the provisional Diet on December 8. In the supplementary budget approved by the Cabinet of Ministers and submitted to the Interim National Assembly, a large amount of defense-related funds are used to speed up equipment construction, including the construction of frigates and submarines, and the procurement of 03 medium-range anti-aircraft missile ammunition. On the 1st of this month, Sweden's Stockholm International Peace Research Institute released the latest ranking of the world's top 100 military companies based on 2024 sales. The total sales of the five Japanese companies on the list increased 40% compared to 2023, the biggest increase among major countries. In recent years, large Japanese military companies such as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries have increased manpower and expanded production facilities to meet government needs. Beginning in 2023, many small and medium-sized enterprises previously unrelated to the military industry have also begun to frequently appear at various defense product exhibitions with the intention of “sharing the pie”.
