Will drones replace helicopters in Japan? [ANALYSIS]

The nipponese government is considering phasing out reconnaissance and strike helicopters to replace them with unmanned systems. A akin destiny is expected to await patrol planes. Based on these reports, any experts have begun to hang the end of the era of manned helicopters. However, I have the impression that they do not realize the reasons for this decision and the logic behind it, which has small to do with, for example, the usage of unmanned aircraft in Ukraine.
