　防衛省が２０２３年度予算案で、敵のミサイル基地などをたたく「反撃能力」（敵基地攻撃能力）として活用する米国製巡航ミサイル「トマホーク」の配備に向け、２１１３億円を計上することが分かった。同省が１９日の自民党国防部会などの会合で説明した。
　トマホーク以外にも、敵の射程圏外から攻撃する「スタンド・オフ・ミサイル」の配備を進める。島しょ防衛用高速滑空弾の開発に２００３億円、音速の５倍以上の速度で飛行し迎撃を困難にする「極超音速誘導弾」の研究に５８５億円を充てる。（2022/12/19-19:55）

Japan's Defense Ministry plans to earmark 211.3 billion yen in funding for fiscal 2023 to deploy U.S.-made Tomahawk cruise missiles as part of an effort to acquire counterstrike capabilities, officials said Monday.
   The ministry also plans to deploy standoff missiles that could be launched from outside an enemy's firing range.
   It is slated to spend 200.3 billion yen to develop high-speed glide bombs for remote island defenses and 58.5 billion yen for research on hypersonic guided missiles, which could fly at more than five times the speed of sound to make interception difficult.
   The ministry plans to spend 220.8 billion yen for the construction of Aegis vessels.
   It also aims to spend 828.3 billion yen to procure various types of ammunition, 161.8 billion yen to help ammunition makers expand production and 5.8 billion yen for the storage of standoff missiles and other large ammunition.
