自民・高市氏、「サイバー攻撃」も選択肢　ミサイル防衛の強化で

　自民党の高市早苗政調会長は２４日、東京都内で講演し、ミサイル防衛を強化するため、日本による「サイバー攻撃」を容認する可能性に言及した。「超音速でミサイルを撃ち込まれても防ぎようがない」と指摘。対抗手段として「今の法律ではできないが、サイバー攻撃を仕掛けて無力化する」ことを挙げた。
　自民党は先の衆院選で、敵基地攻撃能力を念頭に「ミサイル阻止能力の保有」を公約に盛り込んだ。高市氏はこれを踏まえ、「防御体制の強化にお金を掛けないといけない」と強調した。（2021/11/24-17:56）

Liberal Democratic Party policy leader Sanae Takaichi on Wednesday hinted that Japan may need to consider carrying out cyberattacks as part of its missile defense program.
   "If a hypersonic missile is fired at us, we can do nothing to avoid it," Takaichi said in a speech at a conference in Tokyo.
   She referred to the option of "neutralizing" such a weapon by mounting cyberattacks, which would be legally impossible under the current framework.
   The ruling LDP called for possession of full capabilities to prevent missile attacks during its campaign in the Oct. 31 election for the House of Representatives, the lower chamber of the Diet, Japan's parliament.
   "We must spend big on measures to strengthen our defense systems," she also said.
