The Ministry of Defense has informed local municipalities that it will deploy the first four F-35B stealth fighter jets—procured for the first time by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force and previously without a set deployment date—at Nyutabaru Air Base in Miyazaki Prefecture on the 7th of next month, according to interviews with those involved.
F35Bは艦艇からでも飛び立てるステルス戦闘機で、防衛省は事実上の空母化に向けて甲板の改修を行っている海上自衛隊の大型護衛艦に載せて運用する計画です。
The F-35B is a stealth fighter that can take off from ships, and the Ministry of Defense plans to operate it by deploying it on large Maritime Self-Defense Force destroyers, whose decks are being modified to effectively function as aircraft carriers.
防衛省は当初、ことし3月までに最初の機体を宮崎県新富町の航空自衛隊新田原基地に配備する予定でしたが、搭載するコンピューターのソフトウエアの改修が遅れ、計画がずれ込んでいました。
The Ministry of Defense had initially planned to deploy the first aircraft at the Air Self-Defense Forces Nyutabaru Base in Shintomi Town, Miyazaki Prefecture by March this year, but the plan was delayed due to a lag in upgrading the onboard computer software.
このF35Bについて防衛省が県や地元の自治体に対し「来月7日に最初の4機を新田原基地に配備する」と伝えたことが関係者への取材で分かりました。
It has been learned through interviews with relevant parties that the Ministry of Defense has informed the prefecture and local municipalities that the first four F-35Bs will be deployed to Nyutabaru Air Base on the 7th of next month.
F35Bは垂直に着陸できるのが特徴ですが、通常よりも騒音が大きく、防衛省はことし2月、これまでの説明を一転させて緊急時などを除いては実施しないとしていた訓練を夜間も含めて新田原基地で行うと表明し、基地周辺の住民や自治体から強い反発が出ています。
The F35B is notable for its ability to land vertically, but it is noisier than usual. In February this year, the Ministry of Defense reversed its previous explanation and announced that, except in emergencies, training—which had not been conducted—would now take place at Nyutabaru Base, including at night. This has sparked strong opposition from local residents and municipalities around the base.
地元の反発を受けて「対応を検討する」としてきた防衛省が今後、どのような案を示すかが焦点となります。
The focus will be on what kind of proposals the Ministry of Defense, which has so far stated it will consider a response in light of local opposition, will present going forward.
