Air supremacy
Article Abstract:
Japan's Defense Agency is struggling with the US in the joint development of the FSX fighter. The Japanese are eager to gain technological independence from the US military. However, Japan alone does not have the industrial capabilities to develop such an aircraft. Previous experience developing the F15 fighter with US manufacturers caused many disputes over costly maintenance, and cost overruns might prevent the FSX from ever reaching full production. Despite the problems, Japan prefers joint production because of access to technological transfers.
