F-15J Japan Air Superiority Fighter Jet - Japan has purchased and produced a total of 223 air-to-air F-15 known as the F-15J, assembled in Japan from largely indigenously manufactured sub-assemblies and equipment. The Mitsubishi F-15J/DJ Eagle is the principal air superiority fighter operated by the JASDF.
The Japanese Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF) is the biggest foreign user
of the F-15, and Japan is the only license-builder of the type. The
F-15, the commanding fighter built for the US Air Force, was developed
by McDonnell Douglas with its first flight in 1972. In Japan,
The F-15J is identical to the F-15C aside from some avionics changes.
These differ from the F-15C/D with the deletion of sensitive ECM, radar
warning, and nuclear delivery equipment.
