Japan\'s new F-3 fighter jet is an international joint development project between Japan, the United Kingdom, and Italy.
Japan\'s goal was to replace the F-2, which is being retired and discharged from the military. In response to the demands of each country, development was recommended with a focus on high stealth characteristics, electronic warfare capabilities, and the mounting of many weapons.
Along the way, Japan proposed operating it as a carrier-based aircraft. In parallel with the F-3, Japan was developing and constructing a new type of aircraft carrier and expanding the Izumo class to become an aircraft carrier, and was considering the F-3 as a carrier aircraft. We propose that Sweden participate, as it has a track record of producing the SAAB JAS 39 Gripen, a multi-role fighter with short takeoff and landing capabilities.
The UK agrees with this as it is in line with the aircraft operations of the Queen Elizabeth class aircraft carriers. Sweden was also keen on joint development as a successor to the Gripen.
After Sweden entered into the joint development of the F-X (a new type of fighter), it separately submitted a plan for a smaller light fighter. Japan agrees to this, and Poland and Thailand also participate. These are F-X2028, F-4, and JAS41.
It is even smaller than the F-3, which has a relatively small design, and has improved operability such as short takeoff and landing and maintenance.
Japan agreed with the idea that it would be used in emergencies at small airports and airfields with short runways on islands, as well as on expressways. In addition to using it as a ready-to-reply interceptor, Poland and Thailand also wanted to use it to create favorable conditions for the introduction of the F-3.
F-3: The name in Japan is F-3. EJFA-2030 in the UK and Italy. In Sweden it is called JAS40.
