Arab Defense Website September 30, 2024: A social media post recently revealed a new hypersonic weapon system in Japan, sparking great interest in the defense community.
A user named 1ZZ-FETaz posted a photo depicting a launch vehicle equipped with rocket tubes at a roadside rest area.
The missile system, officially known as the Hypersonic Glide Projectile (HVGP), is scheduled to enter service with the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF) by 2026, three years earlier than initially planned. The accelerated timeline comes as Japan continues to adapt to a changing regional security environment, especially in response to growing concerns about China’s military posture and North Korea’s missile capabilities.
