[The world's strongest wing that continues to protect Japan's skies]
Since its deployment began in 1982, the F-15J Eagle has been defending Japan's skies as the Air Self-Defense Force's main fighter. The F-15 was developed by McDonnell Douglas in the late 1960s as an air superiority fighter for the United States Air Force. Combat combat capability has been thoroughly pursued, with a large-area main wing and two vertical tails that emphasize maneuverability at around Mach 0.9, a powerful Pratt & Whitney F-100 turbofan engine with a thrust of 7348 kg, and excellent attack power. Equipped with power and fire control equipment, it proved to be the most powerful in the world during the 1991 Gulf War. It was in 1976 that the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force decided to adopt the F-15 as a successor to the F-104 fighter. Based on the F-15C model, which had increased in-flight fuel capacity and stronger main landing gear, the J model, which had electronic equipment modified for Japan, and the two-seat DJ model were to be produced under license by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. is. The external differences from the F-15C include the mass balance on both vertical tails and the antenna on the underside of the nose, and the layout of the instrument panel has also been partially changed. In March 1981, two McDonnell Douglas F-15Js flew to Japan, after which knockdown production and license production took place, and by 1998, 165 F-15Js had been delivered. In 1982, the 202nd Squadron at Nyutabaru Air Base became the first F-15J deployment unit, and eight squadrons have now been equipped with the F-15J, and electronic equipment and engine updates will continue to be a key part of Japan's defense. is scheduled to proceed.
