The reason why Japan has not been able to provoke Dokdo

Just last week, a survey found that the nation’s military power is the fifth strongest in the world

According to the 2024 Global Firepower Report released by Global Firepower, a U.S. military power rating agency

This year, Korea ranked 5th, beating Britain, a country where the sun never sets

Also last month, CNBC in the U.S. ran the title, “Will Korea become the world’s largest arms exporter?”

I reported on a special article on Korean weapons

South Korea will soon be ranked fourth in the world in defense exports by beating out its competitive and tricky competitors

The article reported on the reasons and strengths of Korean defense companies that were able to achieve rapid growth

To sum up the article

South Korea has faced a decades-long standoff with North Korea over a truce

It has its own domestic technology, from missiles to submarines to Aegis ships

There’s a huge variety of modernized weapons

It’s cleverly aligned with the U.S. and NATO Western weapons standards

The pace of development or modification is also fast due to the low dependence on foreign countries

Most of all, the delivery, delivery, and after-sales service are so fast

South Korea’s defense export competition, Germany, is tight

In 2018, Hungary ordered 44 Leopard tanks from Germany, which are more expensive than Korea’s K-2

As of 2023, only one Leopard tank had been delivered by Hungary

However, Korea has sold 1,000 K-2 K-9 tanks with Poland, so it will deliver the first delivery amount of the contract

It surprised the world by completing the delivery just three months after the contract was completed

just over 18 years ago

When Japan sent a survey ship to Dokdo, insisting that Dokdo was their land

Behind you

I sent the Aegis ship together, seeing the Korean Navy as narrow-bottomed

Of course, at that time, Japan had a powerful naval force armed with the latest Aegis ships

We were like children who couldn’t match Japan

But President Roh Moo Hyun has demonstrated a strong will to defend our territory in response to provocations

Japan’s inability to provoke is possible because we have power

Now we have the world’s fifth-largest military force, two places ahead of Japan

Peace is protected by strong force, not by surrender
