美日「利剑」联合军演今日启动 规模历来最大 美军首在与那国岛部署反舰导弹
美日联合军演「利剑」（Keen Sword）于10月19日启动。据日本统合幕僚监部公布，自卫队约3.3万人、美军约1.2万人参加，加上澳洲与加拿大等观察员国，总计约5万人，是历来规模最大的一次；演习至10月29日结束，演习地域覆盖日本周边海空域。本次演习的最大看点，是美军与自卫队将首次在距离台湾仅约110公里的与那国岛部署反舰导弹：美国海军陆战队部署「海军陆战队远征舰艇拦截系统」（NMESIS，可发射海军打击导弹），日本陆上自卫队部署88式地对舰导弹。据美国智库分析，这是美军首次在与那国岛部署装备，体现海军陆战队「远征前进基地作战」概念，也显示日本正加强西南诸岛的长程打击与两栖作战能力。演习课目包括防空、反潜、两栖登陆与导弹防御等。日本防卫大臣小泉进次郎此前表示，演习旨在提升日美同盟的应对与威慑能力。分析指，在东海与台海局势持续紧张之际，这场年度例行演习的规模与部署地点格外受关注。
U.S.-Japan 'Keen Sword' Drills Begin, Largest Ever, with First U.S. Anti-Ship Missile Deployment to Yonaguni
The U.S.-Japan joint exercise 'Keen Sword' began on Oct. 19. According to Japan's Joint Staff, about 33,000 Self-Defense Forces personnel and 12,000 U.S. troops are taking part, with observers from Australia and Canada bringing the total to around 50,000 — the largest edition on record. The drills run through Oct. 29 across airspace and waters around Japan. The headline element is the first deployment of anti-ship missiles to Yonaguni Island, about 110 km from Taiwan: the U.S. Marine Corps is deploying its Navy-Marine Corps Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System (NMESIS, firing Naval Strike Missiles), while Japan's Ground Self-Defense Force fields Type-88 surface-to-ship missiles. U.S. think-tank analysts say it is the first U.S. military deployment to Yonaguni, illustrating the Marine Corps' stand-in forces concept and Japan's broader buildup of long-range strike and amphibious capabilities in its southwestern islands. The programme covers air defence, anti-submarine warfare, amphibious landings and missile defence. Defence Minister Shinjiro Koizumi has said the drills aim to strengthen the alliance's response and deterrence capabilities. The scale and locations of this annual exercise are drawing particular attention amid continued tensions in the East China Sea and the Taiwan Strait.
