Mitsubishi ATD-X ShinShin: To Fly This Year !

[hans]

It is a copy radar from US...

Wrong, when I was still too young to have an erection and all the Chinese engineers were still out in the farm plowing the rice field, Japan had already developed an indigenous AESA radar for its F-2.

Right
Japan lack the capacity to build military jet engine..
Such a project can bring up some of your capacity..
Yet still not satisfying..
China is using similar imported Russia engine.
Once its own engine is ready, will put it on J31 and the performance will be much better..

Im sure our Engineers are capable of doing the job. I also wish the best for our Chinese counterparts.

Cheers !

Buddy, don't tell me that China did not reverse-engineer the Russian Fregate 3D radar (btw, a reversed engineered form is now on the PLAN's Type 054As).

Come on, we know also about your affinity for Russian S-Band MR90s. Et al, et al.

How can it be copied from the US when during that time, the US doesn't even have any AESA radar for its own fighters?

The J/APG-1 was the first AESA radar installed on any fighters. Japan managed this even before the US did.

the look of it doesn't really WOW me, but it's just still a prototype after all.

surprise Japan can do so much with such a little budget compared what the rest of the world has spent on a fifth gen fighter.

Japan should also focus on a counter stealth radar just in case shinshin doesn't pan out.

The engine is the biggest problem and won't be easy.

That's right, its just a prototype. The Mitsubishi ATD-X ShinShin is not the final form.

Japan's Greatest Zaibatsu, Ishikawajima Harima Heavy Industries, is going to take care of this, dude.

maybe, but the Japanese are pretty resourceful.

this is just the first step before they start building macross fighters in the next 50 years.

Experience counts here and japan is no expert in aero engines,we all know that.
Btw whats the thrust of intended engine?

I do support japan for making an indigenous fighter,maybe india can buy some in the future

 

[Aepsilons]

This is the Planned : Mitsubishi F3 Air Superiority Interceptor,

Realistically, within the next decade this will replace the JASDF's Fleet of F-15Js, as well as for foreign sales.
