B52STRATO 215 Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) The Japan Air Self-Defense Force has ordered yesterday a first tranch of five Bell Boeing V-22 (Block C). A contract of 332.5 million US$ for the "package", including training and initial support. This makes Japan the first export customer for the Osprey. I'll try to add one link or more in english ASAP, I actually just found some in french, greek or spanish...

+WhiteBoySamurai 1,094 Posted July 17, 2015 Five is just the initial order. I'd go so far as to predict that Japan will look into license-building more, as they've done with most US-designed hardware in the past. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
