Japan’s next-generation mainstay fighter aircraft, the F35 stealth jet, has been shown to the public.
The first domestically assembled F35 was unveiled at a Mitsubishi Heavy Industries plant in Aichi Prefecture, central Japan, on Monday.
In a ceremony, State Minister of Defense Kenji Wakamiya said the F35, the world’s most advanced type of fighter, will be important for Japan’s national defense. He added that he is sure it will help further strengthen Japan-US ties.
The F35 boasts strong stealth capabilities that prevent its detection by radar.
