据外媒报道,5月6日,日本88式岸基反舰导弹在“肩并肩”联合军演中完成境外首次实弹发射。今年的“肩并肩”军演规模进一步扩大,参演兵力超过1.7万人,日本首次以正式成员身份参演,参与深度显著提升。从后勤辅助到演练主力,日加强与菲深度军事捆绑,图谋“借船出海”,彻底打破“专守防卫”原则,重新向军事大国迈进,威胁地区和平稳定。 近年来,“肩并肩”军演规模持续扩大,课目不断向高强度、实战化方向发展,参演力量也从双边逐步扩展为多边。日本此番首次以正式成员身份参演,并首次在菲律宾领土上进行实弹演习,就是这一趋势的集中体现。 从日本参演的阵容与课目看,其扮演的角色发生明显变化。据悉,日本陆上、海上、航空自卫队均派出力量参加,总兵力约1400人;并投入“伊势”号直升机驱逐舰、“雷”号驱逐舰、“下北”号两栖运输舰,以及C-130H运输机和88式岸基反舰导弹等装备。参演内容不再局限于人道救援、灾害应对等低敏感领域,而是延伸至多国海上联合行动、两栖作战、联合防空反导和网络攻防等多个实战化课目。 日本参演的课目具有极强的针对性和挑衅性。此次演习地点覆盖吕宋岛北部、巴坦群岛以及巴拉望岛附近海域。在吕宋岛,日本陆上自卫队两栖作战旅与菲律宾陆军实施抢滩登陆演练,还与美菲参演部队开展跨域一体化反登陆演练,并对无人靶船等目标进行实弹射击;更值得关注的是,日本陆上自卫队第1炮兵旅发射2枚88式岸基反舰导弹,命中距岸约75公里的菲律宾退役舰船“奎松”号,日本防卫大臣、菲律宾防长均现场观摩了此次发射。在巴拉望岛附近海域,日本出动“雷”号驱逐舰、“下北”号两栖运输舰参加反潜作战、海上补给等课目演练。日本参与的这些课目具有明显的海上拒止、岛礁攻防和海上通道控制的实战指向,这意味着日本参与菲方军事活动的性质,已由象征性存在转向实质性嵌入。 这一变化与日菲签署的《互惠准入协定》密切相关。该协定于2025年9月生效,简化了日本自卫队和菲律宾军队相互进入对方领土开展训练、演习和救灾等活动的程序,为双方人员、装备、武器携带及后勤协调提供了制度性便利。换言之,日本自卫队进入菲律宾不再只是临时性安排,而是有了稳定的机制支撑。此次“肩并肩”军演,正是这一制度安排从纸面走向实践的重要节点。 日菲防务合作快速升温,绝非单纯的军事交流,其背后包含多重战略考量。 对日本而言,菲律宾是其拓展军事活动半径的重要支点。日本近年来持续强化西南方向军事部署,围绕西南诸岛加强海空监视、导弹部署和快速机动能力,试图将安全防线不断向外推。菲律宾位于南海、巴士海峡和西太平洋交汇地带,地缘位置十分重要。日本借“肩并肩”军演进入菲律宾,不仅可以提升与菲律宾等国的联合作战能力,更能将其军事触角进一步延伸至南海周边,扩大自身在亚太地区的军事影响力。 更深层次看,日本正借助所谓“地区安全合作”,谋求彻底摆脱战后体制束缚。近年来,日本新版安保文件确立发展对敌“打击能力”,加快引进和发展远程打击武器,同时与澳大利亚、英国、菲律宾等国签署或推进准入类协定,为自卫队跨境活动铺路。日本此次参演,表面上是参与联合训练,实质上是推动自卫队海外活动常态化、制度化的又一重要举措。其所谓“专守防卫”原则的实质内涵,正被一次次的演训和部署悄然掏空。 对菲律宾而言,引入日本也是其借助外部力量增加安全筹码的又一动作。马科斯政府上台以来,菲律宾持续强化与日本、澳大利亚等国的防务联系,开放更多军事设施,推动联合巡航和多边演训,其目的无非是通过拉拢域外力量以增强自身底气。然而,这种做法看似扩大了安全选项,实际上却在不断压缩菲律宾的战略自主空间,使其逐渐依赖外部力量,陷入被动。 日本和菲律宾均将相关合作包装为“防御性安排”或“维护地区稳定”,但这种突出阵营对抗的合作,不仅无助于地区稳定,反而使自身陷入安全困境。 日本“再军事化”进程令人高度警惕。二战结束后,日本在和平宪法约束下长期坚持“专守防卫”原则,海外军事活动受到严格限制。然而,近年来日本右翼势力不断以周边安全形势变化为借口,推动自卫队活动范围外扩、装备能力升级和安全政策松绑。此次日本作战力量进入菲律宾本土,并参与反舰作战、防空反导等实战化课目,已明显超出一般防务交流范畴。日本在境外发射进攻型导弹,更是远远超出了“自卫”范畴,表明其“新型军国主义”成势为患,严重威胁地区和平稳定。 菲律宾的战略自主面临进一步削弱。安全合作本应服务国家利益,但若过度依赖外部军事力量,就容易被卷入他国战略设计。菲律宾近年来不断扩大同外国军队的军事联动,看似获得更多外部支持,实则使自身逐渐成为域外力量前沿部署和军事演训的平台。一旦地区局势升温,菲律宾能否避免沦为大国竞争的牺牲品,恐怕要打上问号。 亚太地区和平稳定来之不易。国与国之间开展正常防务合作本无可厚非,但若借演习之名扩大军事存在,借合作之机强化阵营对抗,最终只会使安全合作异化为风险放大器。对日本而言,真正应该做的是深刻反省历史、谨慎处理军事安全政策,而不是借外部平台不断突破战后约束;对菲律宾而言,真正需要的是回归对话协商,而不是把自身嵌入外部势力的战略棋局。毕竟,一味在安全上相互捆绑,只会引火烧身,反噬自身。

Summary

Machine summary

During the U.S.-Philippines 'Balikatan' exercise in May 2025, Japan participated for the first time as a full member with approximately 1,400 personnel drawn from all three Self-Defense Force branches, deploying the helicopter destroyer JS Ise, two additional surface combatants, and—in the exercise's most significant development—firing two Type 88 surface-to-ship missiles from Philippine territory to strike the decommissioned vessel BRP Quezon at a range of roughly 75 kilometers, with both countries' defense ministers observing. The live fire marks the first time Japan has conducted a surface-to-ship missile launch outside Japanese territory, and taken together with Japan's participation in amphibious, anti-submarine, and cyber subjects across northern Luzon, the Batanes Islands, and Palawan, it signals a concrete operational step in Japan's effort to extend its strike reach into the South China Sea periphery ahead of the Japan-Philippines Reciprocal Access Agreement entering into force in September 2025. The article, published by a Chinese state-affiliated outlet, frames these developments as evidence of Japanese 'remilitarization' threatening regional stability—framing that itself signals Beijing's intent to contest the normative legitimacy of the Japan-Philippines security architecture as it institutionalizes.
