The F-15J is a modified F-15C Eagle for the Japan Air Self-Defense Force. It debuted in Ace Combat Infinity and made its Strangereal debut in Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown. The fictional F-15JK+ represents the bleeding edge of the F-15 Eagle's iconic air superiority role. It boasts enhanced maneuverability and electronic capabilities in order to assist its pilot in gaining the edge in a long or medium air-to-air combat scenario. However, implementation of its canard system comes at the expense of its internal cannon, limiting the Kai Plus to missile weaponry. The Fiction (F-15NJ): In alternate-history artwork, the F-15NJ is depicted as a carrier-capable, navalized version of the F-15 Eagle modified for the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF). It features folding wings, a tailhook, and specialized anti-ship loadouts for carrier operations. The Reality (Mitsubishi F-15J): In the real world, Japan operates the F-15J and F-15DJ. Built by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries under license from McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing), these are strictly land-based air superiority fighters used by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF). They cannot land on aircraft carriers 2. The Japanese Link: F-15J & MTDP F-15J: This is the real, mainline air superiority fighter used by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF). It is built under license in Japan by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. Japan never operated the experimental canard/thrust-vectoring STOL/MTD variant The F-15J(M) is the official designation for the modernised variants of the Mitsubishi F-15J Eagle, an air superiority fighter operated by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF). It represents the culmination of Japan's F-15 modernization programs (often referred to as the F-15J Kai or J-MSIP upgrades), bringing the 1980s-era airframe up to modern combat standards
