The F-15J Eagle was the main fighter of the Air Self-Defense Force that defended the skies of Japan. The F-15J Eagle was based on the U.S. Air Force's F-15C, which had been deployed in 1974, and was equipped with the Air Self-Defense Force's original equipment, including its own tactical electronic warfare system, J/TEWS, as well as its own data link system. Deployment of the aircraft began in 1982, and it continues to play a major role in Japan's air defense today. It is also deployed at the Komatsu Air Base of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force, where two units, the 303rd and 306th squadrons, keep a close eye on air defense over the Sea of Japan.
