we will see what avionics it will get in the japanese service.

Curious, what makes you see that as a fighter bomber instead of an interceptor?

They wouldn't buy Russia's new fighter which IMO is the worlds best or will be..f-18 SH is a great fighter but it lacks any sort of stealth capability, same goes with the Typhoon which is probably the worst out the lot apart from the armament it uses
