    TOKYO, Jan. 26 (Xinhua) -- Japan deployed its first F-35A stealth fighter on Friday at the Misawa Air Base in Aomori Prefecture in the country's northeast, according to the defense ministry here.

    The deployment of the next-generation fighter marks the beginning of the formation of an Air Self-Defense Force (ASDF) squadron comprising 10 of the jets at the base from the next fiscal year starting in April, the defense ministry said.

    The jets will number 42 eventually, according to the defense ministry's plans, and the F-35As will be capable of carrying the already budgeted for long-range Kongsberg Joint Strike Missile (JSM).

    The air-launched standoff missiles are, controversially, capable of striking enemy bases, the scenario of which would contravene Japan's constitutionally bound defense-only stance.

    Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, however, is ardently trying to amend a key clause in the Supreme Law to achieve his career goal of further loosening restrictions on the nation's Self-Defense Forces, despite the majority of Japanese people being against changing the pacifist charter for the first time since World War II.

    Abe's moves towards normalizing Japan's military have also unsettled some of Japan's regional neighbors and the broader international community.

    Japan's Defense Minister Itsunori Onodera was quoted as telling a press briefing on the matter on Friday that the (JSM) missiles, however, would not be used for attacking enemy bases.

    "The introduction of the missiles is not aimed at targeting enemy military bases. We rely on U.S. strike capabilities for attacking enemy bases and this will remain unchanged."
