This is one of my favorite YT channels, featuring breathtaking scenes from Japanese Air Bases.
Viper Zero is a Japanese/American made jet fighter /60/40%/. It was ahead of its time when it was first released, featuring co-curing technology, reduced radar-crossed section thanx to composite materials, Japanese made fly by wire controls and laws, Japanese HUD, electronics and AESA radar.
It is the first production jet to feature EASA radar as well as co-curing elements.
It is based on the General Dynamics F-16 Agile Falcon offer, that first appeared in the 80s.
In total 94 F-2 Viper Zero jets were built, among which there are single and dual-seaters. Some were lost in the devastating Tsunami in 2011.
Alongside with F-15 and F-35 it is the backbone of JASDF, at least until fifth generation Japanese fighter jet appears.
