Hopefully they will defend us when it is cloudy.

Even the weather doesn't want Japan to break its own Constitution for the sake of one selfish politician. I wonder if Abe will ask the weather to understand and cooperate.

War happens in bad weather conditions too. I don't get it.

@gokai, either the weather gods or the war gods loved your comment so much that they intervened with triplicate emphasis.

Accept no unnecessary risk.
Doing some circles around Okinawa and "touch and goes" on the flight deck with USN and ASDF aircraft wasn't worth the risk of losing a bird or a pilot.

They don't need to waste time rehearsing, they already know what to do.

Hmmmmm..... Combination of Japanese fighters and US aircraft carriers not a happy one.

Bad weather " Lies" It would have to be very rough sea like a typhoon for this to happen. Not even Ice condition will stop drills. They practice the most in worst condition then any other weather conditions. even in the worst condition those land base fighter would at least would practice touch and goes. There are other reason. I would not have a glue why or assume but bad weather is so wrong.

Then we are informed that two Japanese ships left port to join the fleet for military exercises but are cancelled due to bad weather,
The cancellation refers to the JASDF F-15s, not the two JMSDF vessels.

@zichi,
JMA had wave heights around 2-3m and 30 knot winds for the past 24 hours.. That's pretty tough weather to run drills on an aircraft carrier. All they USN and JSDF were trying to do is ensure their pilot's safety.

Whichever way you cut the cake that is a great photograph. Have the flags been enhanced somewhow, I wonder?

The exercises involving the JASDF fighters has been resumed.
