Japan Air Self Defense Force F-15J


A Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy J-15 carrier based fighter operating from the aircraft carrier Liaoning formed a radar lock on a Japanese F-15 fighter over international waters southeast of Okinawa Island on December 6. Japanese Defence Minister Shinjiro Koizumi quickly confirmed the incident, with the Japanese government issuing a protest through diplomatic and defence channels. This was the first time Japan publicly disclosed an incident in which a Chinese military aircraft directed its radar at a Japanese aircraft. The incident follows a significant rise in tensions between Tokyo and Beijing, after Japan’s new prime minister, Sanae Takaichi, threatened to intervene militarily in the ongoing conflict between the People’s Republic of China on the Chinese mainland, and the Republic of China based on Taiwan, which have for decades remained in a state of civil war.

J-15B Fighters and J-15D Electronic Attack Jets on Chinese Carrier Liaoning



The Liaoning is one of three aircraft carries currently in service in the People’s Liberation Army Navy, and was confirmed to be sailing near Kubashima Island, west of Okinawa, on December 5. The following day the aircraft carrier passed between Okinawa and Miyakojima Island along with three destroyers, before proceeding into the Pacific Ocean. The Liaoning and its sister ship the Shandong were revealed in November 2024 to have significantly improved the capabilities of their air wings with the integration of new J-15B ‘4+ generation’ fighters and supporting J-15D electronic attack jets. The J-15B is far superior to the baseline J-15s that first joined the fleet in the early 2010s, with improvements including higher use of more advanced composite materials for a lighter and more durable airframe, use of a more advanced AESA radar, and integration of advanced stealth coatings, and use of some of the world's most sophisticated avionics and electronic warfare systems.

While the J-15B a close contender for the title of the world’s most capable pre-fifth generation fighter class, the F-15J by contrast is one of the oldest fourth generation fighter types still in service anywhere in the world. The fighters first entered service in 1981, and were based closely a design that first joined the U.S. Air Force six years prior in 1975. The Japanese fleet still largely relies on AIM-7 air-to-air missiles for beyond visual range combat, which are considered close to three decades beyond the Chinese PL-15 and PL-16 that equip the J-15B in their sophistication. The Japanese aircraft not only carry much smaller radars, but these rely on mechanically scanned arrays that have long since been considered obsolete, and are relatively straightforward to jam for modern electronic warfare suites.

J-15, J-15B and J-15D Fighters Operating From the Carriers Liaoning and Shandong



The outcome of a clash between Chinese J-15B and Japanese F-15J fighters over the Pacific would be highly one sided, although Japan could potentially seek to counterbalance Chinese advantages by deploying E-767 Airborne Warning and Control Systems to bridge the discrepancy in situations awareness. Although China’s new aircraft carrier the Fujian deploys KJ-600 Airborne Warning and Control Systems, the air wing of the Liaoning does not. Nevertheless, the age of the E-767, which uses a radar from the 1980s, seriously limits the degree of support it can provide, particularly compared to modern systems such as the E-7 and Chinese KJ-500. The system is expected to be relatively straightforward to evade should the Chinese fighters be deployed with support from J-15D electronic attack jets, which were developed specifically to conceal fighter units from radar detection in much the same way as the latest variants of the U.S. Navy E/A-18G.

You need a different approach.
The problem is the Chinese treat the Japanese like they treat the Vietnamese or Koreans. That’s totally misguided. The Japanese are much like let’s say the English. Ccp can call on Japan to respect history is like calling someone in a desert. Nobody hears you.

China always treated Japan as a small sibling nation in the Sinosphere, but Japan always got the ambition to supplant China as the leader of the Sinosphere.

Japan always lacks the qualification to become a superpower that lead the Sinosphere into prosperity.

And the more they want to try, the more chaos they are going to cause.

If they don't want to submit China to build a prosperous Sinosphere, then more punishment will come for destabilizing the hard-won prosperity rebuilt by China.

I don't think Japanese will submit to China for a length of time until China beats Japan again decisively in a major war as happened in Korea during the Tang and Ming dynasties. But, next time, China should not be so merciful to these still savages at heart now if not caged as in the last two times. Defeat it and crush it so it will never pose serious threats to China again in the future.

Yep, the Tang Dynasty and Ming Dynasty didn't conquer Japan.

The Tang was never a naval superpower, and the Ming was a naval superpower only at early stage, and when it managed to beat Japan, and it was on the late stage.

The best solution is to fully sinicize them after conquer the entire nation, since a lot of young Chinese men are still looking for wife.

that´s a gross misunderstanding. Japan is not Korea or Vietnam it is much a white country at heart, it does not want to be part of China imperialism. the Chinese should treat the Japanese like you treat the British. the sooner you realise it the better. Singapore is the similar case it is a white country white culture that´s why the Singapore PM supports Japan.

Well, Japan used to try to become a white wannabe country in the during 1980-1990s, but the white world would never accept them as part of the white civilization because they don't have the right DNA to be white.

Heck, even Russia cannot be accepted by the western world, why do you think that Japan can be part of it?

They are just jealous of China's marvelous achievement.

China's success has restored some degree of confidence for them that Asians can outcompete the white world in all domains.

However, they would like to take China's place right now.

According to Japan's former ambassador to China Hideo Tarumi, China is too strong for now, but when China has become weaker again, it would be opportunity to subjugate them again.

Basically, he is a avid supporter for Takaichi, and most Japanese people think like him.

Japan considers itself as white, it is part of G7, a white under whites. The Germans, the British, the Americans consider Japan as white. They will never consider Chinese or Vietnamese as white. That matters. You shouldn’t listen to random noises made by some Japanese politicians.

Now, the true pro-white politicians are basically non-existent in Japan.

They always admire the strongest civilization; it was white world previously, and now it has become China.

Even the most anti-China Japanese politicians have figured out that the white civilization/culture is incompatible with their Japanese DNA.

The Chinese civilization/culture is compatible with their Japanese DNA, and China has been starting to restore its former glory by proving itself to be superior to the white civilization.

Now Japan has only one thing in its head which is to defeat the original China and becomes the new China itself to rule the world.

We are the original holder of the magnificent Sino civilization, and we will not let an offshoot of our civilization tries to replace us as the main branch.

Let get real. The Japanese wanted to colonize China in the same way the British did. No different, just a more brutal way. Takaichi openly threatens China with the army. Trying to link someone with blood, DNA?
Some people are psycho. I never try to understand them. Accept and move on.

 

[ChineseTiger1986]

Let get real. The Japanese wanted to colonize China in the same way the British did. No different, just a more brutal way. Takaichi openly threatens Japan with the army.

They believe that their four tiny islands might be one day sinking into the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, and they desperately need to take China as their new home.

The Chinese who want to resist need to be killed off, and the rest needs to be converted into Japanese, and the remaining legacy of the Chinese civilization/culture would belong to them.

They were trying to emulating the Manchus, because the Manchus also tried to force the Chinese to speak Manchurian after subjugating the Ming Dynasty.

However, the Manchurian language is very primitive compared to the Chinese language, because it has so little vocabularies that would not be suffice to govern a large/much more advanced country like China.

For convenience, the Manchus started to fully adopt the Chinese language, and used it more often than their native language, because they cannot describe a lot of words and terms in their native language.

However, Japanese believe that their language is much more advanced than that of the Manchus, and they can achieve what the Manchus cannot.

What they did to Taiwan during 1895-1945 was basically what they were planning to do on Mainland China in a smaller scale.

The Chinese civilization's language being replaced with Japanese language, and they believe by doing this, they could rule the Chinese civilization and remaining population for eternity.

Most Japanese are at that level of madness.

And you think can make the Japanese to Chinese like the Manchu? Not a realistic scenario. Sometimes I dream pigs can fly. The Japanese don’t want to be Chinese.
But no worry, considering Japanese population collapse, rising immigration of Vietnamese to Japan, who knows, 50 years from now, the mix Japan will become more Chinese.
It still amazes me, the Japanese threaten China with war. Ccp makes something wrong.

Most Japanese hardcore right-wingers are racists/racialists.

They don’t want to mix with non-yellow humans like white/brown/black, because by doing so, their offsprings will become un-Japanese.

Mixing with Chinese/Korean/Vietnamese is okay, but the offsprings need to speak Japanese and behave like Japanese.

CPC has done nothing wrong but too successful that makes a lot of countries jealous, both MAGA supporters and Japanese ultranationalists are jealous, but Trump has been intimated by China‘s rare earth stiffling tactics which can collapse the entire US economy.

The problem is many Chinese have delusions about the Japanese since they are genetically similar, actually studies reveal about 50% to 60% DNA similarities, not too high though. The other misconception is that Japanese still use Chinese writing and cultures that make some Chinese feel somewhat close to them. But, the realties are different, the Japanese are bunch of savage ba****** at heart. They did not just want to replace the Chinese language with Japanese language and then rule China. They wanted and acted to wipe out the Chinese race by carrying out genocidal killings of Chinese people at large and make the few remaining Chinese their total slaves, then populate Chinese land with Japanese to build Japan Empire, and they already had much started the process in Manchuria before and during the war. The only solution of this Japanese problem is to wipe them out.
