The World Is Astounded by New Japanese-Made Fighter Jets

Japanese FX Fighter Jet must be capable of carrying more air-to-air missiles than the current Lockheed Martin F-35

Japanese FX Fighter Jet must be capable of carrying more air-to-air missiles than the current Lockheed Martin F-35. The presence of external weapons has a significant impact on the radar signature produced by an aircraft. 

The U.S. Air Force is purchasing upgraded Boeing F-15EXs in parallel with their ongoing purchases of F/35s. Japan has around 200 older F-15Js in its inventory. Lockheed Martin is working to increase the number of missiles that can be carried by the F-35. This would combine the airframe of the F22 stealth fighter with sensors and electronics from the F35.
