TOKYO -- Japan's defense ministry has decided to build a stealth fighter and wants a first test flight within five years, a news report said.
The move could concern Washington as Japan is a major customer of US defense equipment, the Tokyo Shimbun said.
Japan is moving ahead because the US military has been reluctant to sell Japan F-22 Raptors, the latest US Air Force jets built to evade radar detection at supersonic speeds.
Japan has been officially pacifist since its defeat in World War II but has one of the world's largest defense budgets and has gradually been expanding its military role.
Previous media reports have said the ministry will include funds to develop the manned prototype in its budgetary request in 2008.
US law prohibits export of Raptors. But the United States flew Raptors to Japan earlier this year on their first foreign flight, showing its commitment to the two countries' security alliance amid tensions with North Korea.
A defense ministry official has previously said Japan was looking at six models of aircraft including the Raptor, the Eurofighter, designed by a European consortium, and the F-35, built by the United States and Britain.
The Japanese government has not supported development of a domestic fighter aircraft since the F-1 support fighter jet in the 1970s.
F-15 fighter jets, which form the core of Japan's fighter force, are being manufactured here under a license agreement with the United States.

Este artigo está cheio de erros. O Japão não vai construir um caça em cinco anos, vai construir um prototipo não funcional de um...

Bem feito mais ou menos, o projeto do F-2 não foi um primor de programa. Mas é verdade sim que o Japão tem condições de fabricar um equivalente ao F-22.
Mas que, se for como outros projetos militares japoneses, vai custar o DOBRO do que custa um F-22, heheheheh...
Abraços!!!

Não sei se vocês lembram, já houve aqui no DB um "rumor" sobre um tal caça Stealth japonês, inclusive com foto do "protótipo" (mock-up, que eu reproduzo aqui junto com mais algumas que achei depois e que, confeso, deu um tanto de trabalho pra achar ).
Bem, ao que parece, o tal "caça stealth japonês" não era só um rumor, um exercício de engenharia, como se supunha na época.
