Strong Conservative Majority - Accelerated Buildup Approved
With over 280 seats secured nationally and conservative breakthroughs in southwestern single-member districts, the governing coalition possesses the electoral mandate to expedite deployment of extended-range Type-12 anti-ship cruise missiles, expand ammunition depots on Yonaguni, and upgrade civilian airfields for F-35B operations.
