Japan AUKUS recruitment FAKE NEWS - Tokyo denies membership offer reports

Japan is reportedly developing two types of hypersonic weapons and a railgun hypersonic missile defense system, which the paper claims is the main motivation for Canberra, Washington and London to bring Tokyo to the table.

Japanese law restricts it to using nuclear energy for peaceful means though, which would rule it out from developing nuclear submarines were it to join “JAUKUS”.

The AI software, developed by state government firm Sarawak Information Systems, was first introduced in 2020 to two courts in Sabah and Sarawak on the island of Borneo as part of a pilot scheme to examine the efficiency of arti...
