Japan has chosen the F35 as its next mainstay fighter as it opted1 for stealth over proven combat records. The pick reflects concern over North Korea and China's introduction of its own stealth fighter. Defence Minister Yasuo Ichikawa says the order of 42 F35s would help Japan adjust to a changing security environment after the death of Kim Jong-il.
There are some people who worry about this purchase, with North Korea in its current situation, but the decision to choose the next generation fighter plane was always based on our understanding that the nation's security strategy is of foremost importance.
Experts say the move to pick a U.S. plane, made unofficially well before news of Kim's death, reflects Tokyo's desire to
tighten2 US ties amid China's rising military might and other regional
uncertainties3. In particular, Yoshihiko Nota has shifted gears to a more traditional security stance after he took office in September. The choice boosted local defence firms like Mitsubishi Heavy and IHI on their
participation4 in F35 production. Defence
analysts5 say South Korea may follow with its own order for 60 fighters.
