Japan is testing its new high-tech fighter planes in a joint exercise with the US soldiers in the Northern Marianas Islands. Japan is testing these fighters for the first time since the prototypes were made two years back. Japanese pilots have been testing the planes known as F2 in an uninhabited northernmost island of the Northern Marianas during their aerial combat skills in an operation dubbed ‘Cope North’. F2 fighter planes are made by Japan’s Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and have similar features as the US F16 fighter planes. The planes are designed for heavy air combats and can carry sophisticated bombs and weapons. Share & Bookmark
