I'm not sure if they are getting wet of fear or jealousy. What do you think?

Yes, J-20 and J-31 project r jealousy to Japanese ATD-X very much. They made ATD-X, Chinese never copy it.

@Hu Songshan ,

Sir, please can you take care of the trolling in this thread.

 

[ChineseTiger1986]

why do you need nuclear subs in the East China Sea?
if nuclear sub is everything, why does China continue to increase the diesel submarine fleet?

AIP subs are good in the littoral waters which is on China's side, while the eastern side of the ECS is also very deep.

China needs more nuclear subs if it wanna play an offensive role.

BTW, this thread now is purely about the JMSDF, and stop asking the off-topic question now.

In order to achieve this, they have to be a free country with its own sovereignty first.

Think what u asking for?

it is you who says Japanese navy has no chance because they possess no nuclear subs.

"Self Defence" is a misnomer, of course. Soon the Japanese military could evolve into its post-WW-II glory. As of today the Japanese air power is the most potent in Asia.

No they are not they have around 250 Fighter Jets of 4th Generation but China has around now 1200 4th Generation Fighter Jets so China is far better than most Asian countries when ti comes to Fire power both quality and quantity

They are really technologically dependent on the US, and don't think they can grow into the second most powerful navy.

Meanwhile, nor they have the most powerful air force in Asia, since a large number of aged F-15J really desperately needs to be swapped with the F-35.

Quantity-wise I agree. Quality-wise I thinks the opposite for JASDF.

Does US allow Japan to do this ?

US once forced Japan to give up Jet project if my memory serve me well .

And US wants to sell F35 now , I do not think Americans will like ATD.

No Sir Chinese Fighter Jets are pretty Good Sir and Japan has pretty much same quality Fighter Jets

Scared ?

Then. This is now.

And US wants to sell F35 now , I do not think Americans will like ATD.

The US cannot force the Japanese to buy anything.

I say to Japan: Go for it.

All F-15J are now pretty old, they have inferior quality compared to the PLAAF's inventory.

They prevented our purchase of F-22, so, as a result, we developed the ATD-X project. We've worked closely with Lockheed Martin in developing Mitsubishi F-2 fighter. Currently, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries have more than capable aeronautical and mechanical engineers with experience in working with L&M. In lack of a better word, the sky is the limit.

The ATD-X project will yield even far more superior to the F-35 JSF. It will be on par with the F-22 , possibly even higher.
