Japan considers sending Patriot missiles to Ukraine

Japan is revisiting talks on transferring missiles for Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine, according to reports circulating widely on social media. The move would mark a significant shift for Japan, whose arms export rules have historically limited supplying lethal weaponry, and comes as Ukraine continues pressing allies for more air defense munitions against Russian strikes.
Why now: Japan potentially supplying weapons to a war zone would be a major break from its long-standing arms export restrictions amid the ongoing war in Ukraine.
