The F-4EJ Kai and F-15J(M) are both Japanese, but okay. The ground tree is also almost entirely domestic.

Best part is (at least in US service) it can carry AIM-9Ms

Tbf I never knew the Thai put their starstreak on anything, but on the other hand that’s literally the ground based LML mount, where as Indonesia operates the Vamtec rapid ranger, which would be better in pretty much every way. Indonesia also operates LMM/Martlet when that gets added,

You understand what he’s trying to say, Japanese jets are 99% C&P with unique variants of C&P aircraft.
Saying you don’t want C&P but wanting subs to fill the holes is like shooting yourself in the foot, being hit around the head with a frying pan and getting nails hammered into you all at the same time.

A few weeks ago.

The only alternatives are from subs is fake C&P like the AJ or worse nothing at all, beggers can’t be choosers in this case.

The biggest problem with sub nations is that there are indigenous or indigenously used options. The only major area that Japan lacks in is high tier CAS. Everything else can be achieved by what Japan used and developed.

M8 everyone knows they will choose the C&P since it’s easy money look at the Beneluxs
