In order to achieve this goal, the total amount of Japan's defense expenses will be increased to about 43 trillion yen (1 yen is about 0.0077 U.S. dollars) within five fiscal years, and part of the financial resources will be solved through taxation.

The "counterattack capability" will include various types of long-range offensive missiles and the "Integrated Air and Missile Defense" system used jointly with the US military.

This will make Japan actually give up the principle of "exclusive defense" pursued after the war.
