■Product Description
The F-15J Eagle is the main interceptor fighter of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force.
The Japan Air Self-Defense Force is the third country in the world to operate the Eagle, following the United States Air Force and Israel.
The Japan Air Self-Defense Force, which had previously used the F-104J as an interceptor fighter, investigated the FX as a successor to the F-104J.
From among many candidate aircraft, the F-15 was selected on December 9, 1976, and the first aircraft arrived at Gifu Air Base on March 27, 1981.
Initially, the F-15Js of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force were basically equivalent to the US Air Force's F-15C Block 26, with some modifications made by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force.
The main modifications include the addition of the Japan Self-Defense Forces' own automated warning and control system (BADGE system) and a high-speed data device (J/ASW-10 data link system) that receives interception control from E-2C early warning aircraft, as well as the change of the antenna at the tip of the vertical stabilizer to a mass balance.
The Japan Air Self-Defense Force initially deployed the F-15J to Nyutabaru Air Base to train pilots before beginning full-scale deployment to fighter wings.
Currently, the F-15J is deployed to seven squadrons: 201st Squadron (Chitose Air Base), 202nd Squadron (Nyutabaru Air Base), 203rd Squadron (Chitose Air Base), 204th Squadron (Hyakuri Air Base), 303rd Squadron (Komatsu Air Base), 304th Squadron (Tsuiki Air Base), and 305th Squadron (Hyakuri Air Base).
Like the U.S. Air Force, the F-15J is undergoing a Multi-Stage Improvement Program (MSIP), and its equipment is being improved and added year after year.
For this reason, new antennas have been added, and the aircraft's appearance has also changed.
In addition, aircraft capable of carrying the domestically produced AAM-3 air-to-air missile are also being modified.
The F-15J will play an active role in the defense of Japan's airspace as the main fighter aircraft of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force, along with the FS-X which will be developed in the future.
