This may help

Oh South Korea

I know that one

Asian planes besides China all have a certain look since the past 30 years

China even has a tendency of copying American and Russian designs. Hell their J-10 is a knock-off of the IAI Lavi.

they’ve been doing that for the past 60 years my friend

like at least Russia is creative

man even India’s aircraft carrier is better than the all new chinese one

and they are *just now* experimenting with steam catapults

Japan copied the F 16 and no one cares lol

Well it was built under license so..

True

I don’t think much is different, very little changes to the airframe and the same engine

I think they changed the cockpit to their standards

It’s kinda like an E-3 vs a 707

Only thing different is the interior

It's also slightly bigger with different shaped tail-planes. But yeah, it's basically a big F-16.

F2 is still stupid though, the F16 can carry a lot of shit *because* of its smaller size. F2 has more side leverage so it holds a lot less

Also Japanese version of the AIM-9 Sidewinder is bigger too

Actually hold on I might be thinking of the wrong thing

Nvm I’m right

Japanese short range missile looks like one of those foam rockets that you put on the little pump and kick it

AAM-4 it’s called

funnee looking

fwoop

Lmao

Yeah does look like a foam rocket

You may ask why they have a giant dish on their back. That's how they carry their pizza 🍕
