Japanese Military Spending Boosted by the Tomahawks

The Tomahawks are expected to take about five years to be delivered to Japan. The purchase would be part of the Prime Minister's plan to more than double the country's military spending over the next five years, which involves spending $318 billion. If Japan reaches that goal in five years, unless other countries make drastic changes as well, it would make its military budget the third highest in the world, behind China and the U.S.
