The F-15 is the main combat aircraft of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force and is manufactured using US patents. It is divided into two types: J and DJ types. The DJ type is a training aircraft. Procurement started in 1978. ***Purchased 213 aircraft. It began to be equipped with troops in 1982, and by March 1998, 197 aircraft had been equipped.
Performance characteristics:
This type of aircraft has a flight life of 10,000 hours, has strong plug-in capabilities, and can perform ground combat support missions. Starting in 1997, Japan began to carry out large-scale modernization and improvement of the F-15 aircraft over a five-year period. The main projects included the replacement of new fire control radars, central computer systems, integrated electronic warfare systems, and the installation of infrared search and tracking devices. After the improvement, the aircraft will have stronger detection capabilities and faster response speed, and its combat capabilities at night, in harsh weather and in strong electronic interference environments will also be greatly improved.
For other capabilities, see the U.S. F-15 Eagle.
