【环球时报综合报道】据日本共同社22日报道，日本政府将在年内修改三份安保相关文件，其中内容拟写进为应对大量无人机攻击而强化防空网的举措，并 已就此展开讨论。俄乌冲突中投入大量无人机的战法受到广泛关注，日本为了防备"突发事态"，也将加紧构建拦截措施。日本方面利用防空导弹、高功率激 光和微波武器应对这些新威胁。 报道称，目前自卫队拦截无人机主要依靠能击落飞机和巡航导弹的国产"03式中程防空导弹"。然而面对大量自杀无人机进攻时，该系统不但同时应对的目标 数量有限，而且用昂贵导弹对付廉价的无人机"在成本方面也非常不划算"。因此，自卫队要求引进新的防空导弹和高功率激光武器，调整拦截无人机的应对 策略。 日本防卫省正在开发能击落小型无人机的高功率激光系统。在日本近年防卫预算中，明确包含用于激光武器研发和测试的专项资金。此外，在2026财年预算 案中，日本还为能同时拦截大量无人机的高功率微波武器列入13亿日元（约合人民币5800万元）的研制费用。 值得注意的是，在应对无人机威胁的幌子下，日本不断加速激光武器的研制进度。2025年日本防务展上，日本防卫省采购技术与后勤厅（ATLA）公开了"车 载高功率激光演示系统"。一名参与 ...
