Japan buys the uninhabited island of Mage in Kagoshima Prefecture in the south-west of the country for JPY 16 billion to deploy the US Navy aircraft. This was reported by Yomiuri.
The Ministry of Defense of Japan decided to buy the uninhabited island of Mage for JPY 16 billion (more than USD 147 million) to use it for massive aircraft drills involving US aircraft carriers.
Such actions of the Japanese authorities are connected with the noise during the deck-based aircraft exercises, which repeatedly prompted residents and local governments to protest in Japan.

“In 2011 the military of two countries decided to work out the issue of placing a training ground on the island of Mage. It is located just 400 km from the US Ivakuni air force base in the south-east of Honshu Island, where about 60 US carrier-based aircraft have been transferred,” the report says.

It is noted that the island, which is now almost entirely owned by a private company from Tokyo, will be transferred to the military authorities by the end of March.
As The Journalist reported, China had tested the stealth drone.
