How the Japanese reinvented the F-16... and made it better!

While the Mitsubishi F-2 may look like an F-16, it’s far from just a copy. With larger wings, advanced avionics, improved radar, and increased payload capacity, this Japanese-built fighter jet is a more capable multi-role aircraft than its American counterpart. But why was it so expensive, and why were only 94 built? This deep dive explores the F-2’s origins, capabilities, and why Japan ultimately chose the F-35 instead.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
