For example, now in the US, Japan can supply only the components of licensed equipment.

Washington has already invited the Patriot SCR for the Patriot missiles, as the US army's reserves are exhausted. The publication also noted that Patriot missiles are also important for the defense of Japan itself, for example, to intercept in North Korea ballistic missiles after potential launches. Since Japan has only a small surplus of these missiles, it will need to take steps so that exports do not affect the DPRK.
