Sukhoi/Mitsubishi SU-35EJ Hayabusa (Peregrine Falcon)

As a replacement for the ageing F-4s, the JASDF was looking for suitable alternatives. Several different types were taken into consideration, but the ministry of defense decided to take SU-30s and SU-35s. The diplomatic and economic relations between Japan and Russia also became positively influenced by this contract.

 

The first planes were delivered in 2007 and started to replace the 'Kai' in the japanese air self defense forces. While the Takas did not receive special camos, two of the three hikotais receiving the SU-35 painted their planes in special camos.

I've decided to update the planes since I was not entirely happy with the result.

Something that would be unthinkable when I was even in college! People have already forgotten how things have changed internationally in the last 25 years.
