Japan Defence Forum

@Nihonjin1051 My compliments on your thread. As suspected, some have already tried to troll it. Some ultra hyper-nationalists on PDF seem to think only they can make threads talking of their countries military abilities.

On a more positive note. I personally think it's great that PDF has a Japanese representative. Not that you personally have any authority or say about what Japan does or doesn't do. It's the fact that you can give views from a Japanese perspective that will add to the mix. Add and give some much needed counter balance.

Of course, the fact that we are also practically neighbors is pretty cool too

Japan XF5-1 jet engine test

最新消息：日本测试第5代战机发动机推力为5吨 - 头条网 TouTiao.com 你关心的，才是头条！

XF5-1開了後燃才是5噸. 未開時可能是3.5-4噸.......

性能
推力:
49 kN (約5t、アフターバーナー使用時)
タービン入口温度: 1,600℃
推力重量比: 8

1. The advantage is XF5-1 only 644kg, a small-size jet engine.

2. The disadvantage is 5-ton thrust afterburn.


ATD-X need 2x XF5-1s > 8-ton aircraft weight

It is unfortunate that we cannot see eye to eye with some people, but we have to be respective of other people and different opinions. We have to, as human beings, respect the moral responsibility of being compassionate or at least empathic of individuals' feelings. We are not mindless haters, but we are supposed to be students in here. I sincerely wish to build a didactic relationship with people here, this international forum.

I also want to thank the mods for being well balanced.

Looking to learning with all of you , my colleagues for the long term.

@KAL-EL , i just got back today from a short trip to AC today. Went to try some good chicken wings at this nice little bar-resto in atlantic city called "Charlie's Wings". Oh you have to check it out when you have time off this summer.

Anyways, back to the subject matter: I'll be updating this thread regularly.

Awesome thread @Nihonjin1051
Welcome to PDF and represent your country here on PDF

As the Japan also is a strong nation, it's good for PDF to establish a "Japan Defence Forum" to Japanese. Let Mob to fix this case, the only problem is there'r still few Japanese members in PDF.

Yaeyama Class

The Yaeyama class is the largest class of Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force minesweepers, designed for open-sea mine clearance operations. They are armed with the JM-61 Sea Vulcan , and mine hunting equipment. 3 are in service, and 3 more planned.

Uraga Class

The Uraga Class are the newest addition of deep sea minesweepers that are in service in the JMSDF. These ships are called mine countermeasure support ships, meaning they have the capacity to remove mines and also to lay mines. Two are in service, the JDS Uraga and the JDS Bungo. Uraga Class are substantially larger than the Yaeyama Class, the former being 5,500 tonnes, whereas the latter is only 1,200 tonnes.

The Mitsubishi ATD-X Shinshin is a planned prototype jet fighter that uses advanced stealth technology. It is being developed by the Japanese Ministry of Defense Technical Research and Development Institute (TRDI) for research purposes. The main contractor of the project is Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. Many consider this aircraft to be Japan's first domestically made stealth fighter. ATD-X is an acronym meaning "Advanced Technology Demonstrator – X".

The aircraft's first flight is scheduled for 2014.

Who makes the engine ? Mitsubishi ? Is there any USA help on the engine development ?

Enoshima Class

The Enoshima Class of ships are mine countermeasure ships that serve the JMSDF. There are 2 ships of this class, the JDS Enoshima and the JDS Chichijima.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. No, this is a domestic Japanese project.

A little bit of history about Mitsubishi, it is the same corporation that developed the Mitsubishi A6M Fighter , or very well known by the Americans in World War II as the 'Zero fighter'. Mitsubishi has a very long history in research and design of aviation and aerospace technology.

One thing must be taken into account, Japan is not like Iran. If they want to do something they will do it with the utmost passion (a trait you can found and share with other Confucian countries such as South Korea and PRC)

looks smaller than F22/F35/T50/J20

Done. Cleaning the thread up, Chinese or any other member who try to troll or derail this thread will be banned.

Great!
I hope chinese members don´t troll too much on this thread. a bit trolling should be allowed.

Do you think that China will play the ship vs ship duel mode with Japan?

Japan doesn't even have the nuclear sub, they clearly know that without the US help, China can easily send their entire JMSDF into the bottom of the ocean.

why do you need nuclear subs in the East China Sea?
if nuclear sub is everything, why does China continue to increase the diesel submarine fleet?

Glad to see Asian people can make it bro...... Maybe we can use the engine for our KFX/IFX

I believe you can export your defense product to friendly nation like Indonesia now

Once it finalizes, the F-3 fighter will be a force to be reckoned with. And I believe Japan has very strong historical ties with Indonesia, being the largest nation in South East Asia. So the possibilities are there..!
