About the real aircraft

- The F-15J Eagle, Japan's main air superiority fighter, is based on the U.S. Air Force F-15C and entered service in 1974.

- The F-15J features Japan-specific systems including tactical electronic warfare systems and unique data link capabilities.

- Unit deployments began in 1982, and the F-15J remains a core aircraft for Japan's air defense.
