Japan and India are advancing their military collaboration, marking a significant shift in Indo-Pacific security dynamics through a high-technology partnership. The recent signing of a Memorandum of Implementation for co-developing the Unified Complex Radio Antenna (UNICORN) underscores the deepening strategic trust, with Japan sharing advanced stealth technology with India. This initiative not only enhances India’s naval capabilities but also positions it as a critical player in maintaining regional stability. The partnership reflects mutual strategic interests and shared democratic values, paving the way for further cooperative ventures in advanced military technologies, thereby redefining security architectures in the Indo-Pacific for the foreseeable future.
