It's important to realize that Japan and the JSDF has been an essential R&D partner in many of these projects. We share classified information with eachother all the time. Japan's innovation and dedication has been ESSENTIAL to building a global force for "good". We have also unfortunately honed eachother's tactics and warfighting skills during WW2. If it wasn't for the atomic bomb, Japan and America were so evenly matched in skill, spirit and discipline that the war would've gone on until no one was left on either side. Hopefully the world will one day see TRUE peace.
