The first updated F-4EJKai was delivered in 1989. Improvements include a Northrop Grumman APG-66J multi-mode radar as well as other avionics upgrades. Customers: Japan 100F-4EJKai, 17 RF-4EJ. F-2 FORMERLY KNOWN as the FS-X, the F-2 is a Mitsubishi-developed derivative of the Lockheed Martin F-16, powered by the GE Fl 10-129. The aircraft first flew in October 1995, and four prototypes are now in flight test. Production deliveries are scheduled to begin in 2000, against a requirement for 130 aircraft to replace the Japan Air Self-Defence Force's Mitsubishi F-l support fighters. The F-16 was selected as die basis of the FS- X (F-2) project in 1987. Changes include a big ger, composite, wing and a larger nose radome housing an indigenously developed active array radar. As well as fulfilling air defence and ground attack missions, the aircraft is also ear marked for die anti-shipping role carrying both the ASM-1 andASM-2 anti-ship missiles. Projects cost have risen significantly, with die aircraft now some three to four times as expen sive as a basic F-16. Unit costs on the initial pro duction aircraft are estimated at around $100 million each. Along with Mitsubishi, Kawasaki and Fuji are involved with the programme as airframe sub contractors. Japan plans to acquire 83 single- seat F-2 As and 47 two-seat F-2B operational trainers. Customers: Japan 130.

The aircraft was first reported in the West in 1982 as the RAM-M, having been seen operating from the Ramens- koye flight test centre (now called Zhu- MYASISCHEV kovsky)The M-17 is believed to be powered by a Lotarev D-18T or Soloviev PS-90A turbofan. M-55 MYASISCHEVS TWO-ENGINED deriva tive of the M-17 Mystic, the M-55, was designed to a Soviet air force strategic-reconnaissance specification and is powered by two non-after burning Soloviev PS-30-V12s, supplying 49kN each. The engine is a derivative of the D-30-F6 used in the MiG-31, with the combustion cham ber and turbine modified for subsonic, high alti tude flight. Neither the M-17 nor the M-55 are believed to have entered air force service.
