ATLA officials have recently told Jane’s that the agency is considering several F-2 replacement options. These include the joint development of a new aircraft with an international manufacturer; licensed production of an existing foreign design through government-to-government channels; the development of an indigenous platform; or a programme to upgrade and refurbish the F-2, which Mitsubishi stopped producing in 2011.
===============================
F-2 대체기 옵션으로 F-2 수명연장 및 업그레이드라. 이제는 이런 것도 등장하네요. 일본에서 무기를 마르고 닳도록 쓰는 건 처음보는데요.
이러면 일본정부 재정이 한계까지 온건가요. 드디어 F-22 획득이 눈앞에 다가왔는데 뜸금없이 F-2 수명연장이라니요.
