俄國改良北方四島軍隊裝備

Recently the Asahi News reported the following:
ロシア軍参謀本部高官は１日、インタファクス通信に対し、北方領土と千島列島からなるクリル諸島の沿岸に、超音速の対艦巡航ミサイル「ヤホント」を装備した移動式のミサイルシステムを配備すると述べた。さらに、対空ミサイルシステム「トールＭ２」を配備する予定のほか、択捉島には新型の攻撃用ヘリを配備する計画も明らかにした。
　メドベージェフ大統領は２月、北方領土の実効支配を軍事面でも強化していくことを明言。国防省は、現地の兵員数を若干削減しつつ、装備を最新鋭のものに刷新していく改革を進めている。
　ヤホントは射程３００キロで重さ２００キロ以上の弾頭を運べる。トールＭ２は同時に四つの標的を狙え、旧来型に比べ２倍の性能を持つとされる。

On the first, the senior officials from the headquarters of the staff of the Russian army described to Interfax News Agency the deployment of the movable missile system that equipped with the supersonic speed anti-ship cruise missile "Yahonto" to the coast of Kurile islands consisting the Kuril Islands and the northern territories. In addition, the plan to deploy new offensive helicopters to Etorofuto was revealed where surface to air missile system "Toll M2" was scheduled to be deployed. In February, President Medvedev declared the strengthening of the effective rule on northern territories that included the military side. The Department of Defense was advancing reforms that improve the equipment to the state-of-the-art level together with some reduction in the number of local troops.
Yahonto could carried the warhead over 200 kilo with a range of 300 km. Toll M2 was assumed to be able to aim at four targets at the same time, and had twice better performance compared with the conventional type.

Russia is improving its military capability in the northern territories. I hope this would not cause further arguments between Japan and Russia.
