Mitsubishi F-3 ATD-X 로우 폴리곤 3D 모델

The F3 program was initiated in response to Japan's requirement for an interceptor to replace its aging fleet of F-15Js. The F-22 was considered too expensive to allow for a 1 to 1 replacement of the Eagle fleet. In addition, with the rise of communist China's air power, Japan felt that it needs to increase its number of air frames beyond current levels. Hence the hunt was on for a relatively affordable interceptor that will afford it a clear and distinct advantage over any SU-27 derivate and/or the next generation of eastern block fighters.
