Agency seeks foreign fighter jets to replace F-4s
Japan has abandoned plans to develop its own fighter jets and will instead select foreign aircraft to replace its F-4s.
Six types of aircraft from the United States and Europe has been selected as candidates. They are the F/A-22, F-35, F-15E, F/A-18 and the Eurofighter. Most probably the other candidate is the Rafale.
The Defense Agency had planned to develop domestic fighters based on its F-2, but a flaw in its radar system scuttled that plan.
