Why haven't they updated their uniforms and helmets yet?
>>29746604
Why should they?
>>29746604
Jesus look at em.
Chinks would nanking their asses if we didn't station troops to save their butts from communism.
They need to learn to love the nuke and be good cucks for America.
That is a bump helmet, and there is nothing wrong with Frecktaln.
>>29746604
Why do they need to?
we cut Japan's balls off after the second world war anyways. They are a SELF DEFENSE FORCE and are not supposed to engage as a military without special american handholding.
>>29746619
Agree
The fuck? In most pics I see the JSDF has at least kevlar helmets and flak vests. Are those guys a reserve unit?
>>29746619
>be good cucks for America
Implying they ever had an option.
>Under the terms of the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between the United States and Japan, United States forces stationed in Japan were to deal with external aggression against Japan while Japanese forces, both ground and maritime, would deal with internal threats and natural disasters.
Their consitution literally limited them from ever gaining a military again. We decimated their entire military in 1945 and then rewrote their consitution to prevent them from ever arming anything that was not a sort of national police or internal "militia" ever again.
And they didnt even have the Self defense force till we allowed it in the cold war fearing our bitch Japan would be caught off guard

>those 2 on the far right
>oh man i'm totally ready to slap some chink, ya feel me man ?
>yeah. just. yeah.
>>29746648
No. That is a parade uniform. Those are there construction and disaster recovery helmets. Unit is probably the engineers at Zama.
>>29746604
Is there a need to?
Do you want to join them?

>They haven't heard of Prime Minister Abe repealing the Article 9 with America's support

Get with the times, damn it. This happened two years ago
>>29746666
You're acting like the JSDF is entirely useless. While I do think that their lack of combat experience and general disdain for most things military related that modern Japan has they're not entirely without use considering they act as a slight buffer against China.
>>29746648
Not gonna lie, these uniforms are bad ass
Idk why but i love the pens that medic has on his shoulder
>>29746709
Always found JSDF gear to be rather interesting considering how much goes into a military that intentionally limits itself in regards to operations.
>>29746705
Pretty sure China would rek them in a few weeks without American support.
>>29746709
American uniforms don't have a pen pocket on their arm?
>>29746703
All they did was make it so that it's okay if Japan wants to fight alongside our allies.
They still cannot go out and engage in conflicts like a sovereign country.
>>29746726
Pretty sure china would wreck mostly anybody in a few weeks without support. You'd be looking at a Finnish winter war loss in the best of situations.
>>29746724
>yfw a Type 89 costs $3000 per rifle
>for a bulk order
>>29746789
This, there isn't much competition imo over there.
>>29746733
They're basically at the same level with Italy's and Germany's Article 11 and Article 26 respectively. Therefore, they can join UN combat coalitions and assist the US and their other allies wars other than humanitarian or logistic support. Thus my point still stands.
>>29746816
jesus , isn't that the price of a SCAR H or a HK416 ?
>>29746726
I mean I don't doubt that but that's why they're part of that whole regional group of nations that's supposed to help each other should China come knocking (at least that's the plan). Besides if they actually started shit with Japan I doubt we'd stay neutral.
>>29746816
Never understood why the damn things are so expensive
>>29746816
They don't export. So the unit price is high.
>>29746604
>>29746816
Meh, ot's basically an AR-18 with an asthetic difference. Reverse engineering might do the trick.
>>29746850
>I doubt we'd stay neutral.
We wouldn't be neutral due to our defense pact with them.
>>29746850
God do i hate sand
>>29746892
Its coarse and irritating and it gets everywhere

A man can dream
>>29746978
Jesus Christ I never realized how much the cost has dropped on Gucci ass AR-15s.

You would be hard pressed to spend $3,000 on an AR-15 without optics.
