佐藤正久・参院議員「JAL123便は自衛隊が訓練中に誤って撃墜」と発言

Publisher’s rating: 誤り

A video circulated as evidence that Sato Masahisa claimed the Self-Defense Forces shot down JAL123. The review says he was reading from a book to describe the allegation, not expressing his own view; it reports that he argued the claim was an insult to SDF personnel and that the defense minister denied SDF involvement.
