航空自衛隊

The Japan Air Self-Defense Force (Kōkū Jieitai) was founded on 1 July 1954 with 6,738 people, nine years after the Imperial Army and Navy air services disappeared with Japan’s defeat; it has never fought a war, but it has scrambled fighters against foreign aircraft since 1958 – 595 times in the year to March 2026, mostly against Chinese and Russian aircraft – and it is now fielding the F-35A and F-35B, building the GCAP fighter with Britain and Italy, and preparing to become the Japan Air and Space Self-Defense Force.

故事

The Japan Air Self-Defense Force story: rebuilt from American aircraft, a MiG-25 at Hakodate and scrambles since 1958

1910–1945: two imperial air services, and how they ended

Japanese military flying began on 19 December 1910, when Captain Yoshitoshi Tokugawa flew a Farman at the Yoyogi parade ground in Tokyo (English Wikipedia’s army air service article gives 1909; his biography gives 1910). Both services first went to war at Tsingtao in 1914: an army air unit of five aircraft flew 86 sorties, and the navy’s seaplane carrier Wakamiya sent Farman seaplanes against German positions. The army formed an Air Corps in May 1925; the navy built Hōshō, one of the first carriers designed as such. From 1937 both services bombed Chinese cities, and the Chongqing campaign alone counted 268 raids between 1938 and 1944, with thousands of civilians killed. In the Pacific war they struck Pearl Harbor, lost four carriers and 248 aircraft at Midway, and from 25 October 1944 sent pilots on suicide attacks, in which about 3,800 died. Both air services ended with Japan’s defeat in 1945; the JASDF was founded later with no direct predecessor organisation.

1950–1970: an air force rebuilt from American aircraft

The Korean War forced Japan to rearm. On 8 July 1950 MacArthur authorised a 75,000-strong police reserve, the Security Agency followed on 1 August 1952, and an Air Preparation Office opened on 1 February 1954. Sixteen pilot students began training on T-6 trainers on 22 June 1954, and on 1 July 1954 the Air Self-Defense Force was established with 6,738 people. Its first 13 pilots were winged on 30 November 1954 and its first jet pilots graduated on T-33s on 28 May 1955. The United States supplied 180 F-86F Sabres from 1955 and Mitsubishi built 300 more under licence; Kawasaki built 210 T-33s. In 1959 the F-104 was chosen as the next fighter, and 210 F-104Js and 20 F-104DJs equipped seven squadrons. The Starfighter was unforgiving: between 1963 and August 1974, 24 had major accidents and 20 crashed. The display team later called Blue Impulse was ordered formed on 16 April 1960 and drew the Olympic rings over Tokyo in 1964.

1972–1982: Phantoms, a MiG-25 at Hakodate and the first Japanese jets

The F-4EJ Phantom, first flown in Japanese form in 1971 and operational from August 1972, became the backbone of the fighter force: 140 were acquired, most built by Mitsubishi, plus 14 RF-4Es. Japan also designed its own supersonic jets, the T-2 trainer (first flight 20 July 1971) and its strike derivative the F-1, of which 77 were built. On 6 September 1976 the air defence system was humiliated. Lieutenant Viktor Belenko flew a Soviet MiG-25 from Chuguyevka to Hakodate airport, landing at about 1:50 pm. According to the Japanese Wikipedia account, ground radars lost him as he descended to very low level, and the F-4EJs scrambled from Chitose could not pick him out of the ground clutter. The MiG was taken apart, examined and returned in 30 crates on 15 November 1976. The lesson was bought in hardware: 13 E-2C Hawkeyes for low-level early warning and better look-down radar for the F-4EJ. In 1982 a Blue Impulse T-2 crashed at the Hamamatsu air show, killing its pilot.

1980–2011: Eagles, the F-2, missions abroad and the tsunami at Matsushima

The F-15J, first delivered in 1980, replaced the Starfighter and outlasted everything else: 213 F-15J and F-15DJ were built, most by Mitsubishi, and production ended in 1999. The F-2, a heavily redesigned F-16 built in Japan, entered service in 2000, and four E-767 airborne warning aircraft were operational at Hamamatsu from May 2000. A 1992 law allowed the forces to support UN peacekeeping, and JASDF C-130Hs flew for the Cambodia mission and to Rwanda in 1994. The largest mission abroad was Iraq: from March 2004 to December 2008 C-130Hs flew between Kuwait and Iraq, carrying 671.1 tonnes of cargo by November 2008 without loss. On 11 March 2011 the tsunami flooded Matsushima; 18 F-2Bs of the 21st Squadron were damaged or destroyed, 13 were repaired at an estimated 80 billion yen and five were scrapped. Blue Impulse survived because it had flown to Ashiya for the opening of the Kyushu Shinkansen.

The scramble years: China, Russia and the numbers

Scrambling fighters against unidentified aircraft is the JASDF’s one permanent operation, recorded since 1958. For most of the Cold War the traffic was Soviet; since 2010 it has been mainly Chinese. On 13 December 2012 a Chinese government aircraft entered Japanese-administered airspace near the Senkaku Islands, which Japan administers and says are not in dispute, and which China (as the Diaoyu Islands) and Taiwan also claim. The Joint Staff’s series peaked at 1,168 scrambles in FY2016. It counted 704 in FY2024 (464 against Chinese and 237 against Russian aircraft) and 595 in FY2025 (366 and 214), of which the Southwestern Air Defense Force at Naha flew 348. Japan’s account of recent incidents: a Chinese military aircraft violated Japanese airspace in August 2024; a Russian Il-38 did so three times north of Rebun Island on 23 September 2024, when the JASDF fired warning flares for the first time; and in December 2025 carrier-based Chinese J-15s intermittently illuminated JASDF F-15s with radar for about 30 minutes. China’s account of that incident was not found in the sources checked.

2019–2026: F-35, GCAP and an air force heading for space

The F-35A was chosen in December 2011 to replace the F-4EJ Kai, and 42 F-35Bs were added in 2019 for a squadron at Nyutabaru. The programme had a hard start: on 9 April 2019 F-35A 79-8705 was lost off Misawa and its pilot killed, and the investigation blamed spatial disorientation. The last Phantoms retired on 17 March 2021 and the last C-1 transports on 15 March 2025. The F-15J is harder to replace. A plan to upgrade the newer F-15Js as the "Japan Super Interceptor" was estimated at about US$4.5 billion for 98 aircraft in 2019. By 2022 it had become 646.5 billion yen for 68, after the contract in the FY2020 budget was suspended over rising costs. The long-term answer is GCAP, agreed with Britain and Italy on 9 December 2022, to replace the F-2 from 2035. The FY2026 budget buys eight F-35As, three F-35Bs and two KC-46As, and reorganises the service into the Japan Air and Space Self-Defense Force (provisional name). The website still used the old name at 30 September 2026.

The Korean War forced Japan to rearm. On 8 July 1950 MacArthur authorised a 75,000-strong police reserve, the Security Agency followed on 1 August 1952, and an Air Preparation Office opened on 1 February 1954.Japan Air Self-Defense Force · verified 2026-09-30

Who is stationed where in the Japan Air Self-Defense Force

按基地排列飞行部队,当前部队优先。. Most JASDF fighter squadrons carry numbers in the 200s and 300s under numbered air wings, and they move: the 302nd has flown from Chitose, Naha and Hyakuri and now flies the F-35A at Misawa. American units that flew from the same fields are listed too, each marked as such, and where a squadron number rests on English Wikipedia alone, the entry says so.

问答

Everything people ask about the Japan Air Self-Defense Force

What is the Japan Air Self-Defense Force called in Japanese?
航空自衛隊, Kōkū Jieitai, literally "Air Self-Defence Force"; that is the name the Ministry of Defense uses on the JASDF website, and its English pages romanise it Koku-Jieitai. The FY2026 budget renames it the Air and Space Self-Defense Force (航空宇宙自衛隊, a provisional name), but the website still used the old name on 30 September 2026. The English title here follows the current English Wikipedia article.
Which fighter jets does the Japan Air Self-Defense Force fly?
Three types: about 200 F-15J/DJ Eagles, 85–91 Mitsubishi F-2s and a growing fleet of F-35A 和 F-35B 闪电 II (47 according to Wikipedia’s table, with about 98 more on order). Figures differ between the Ministry of Defense’s 2023 data and FlightGlobal-based tables. The F-4EJ Phantom retired on 17 March 2021.
How often does the JASDF scramble fighters?
595 times in the fiscal year to March 2026, according to the Joint Staff: 366 times against Chinese and 214 times against Russian aircraft. The year before it was 704. The record was 1,168 in FY2016. More than half are flown by the Southwestern Air Defense Force at Naha, which covers Okinawa and the East China Sea.
Has the Japan Air Self-Defense Force ever fought in a war?
No. Since its founding in 1954 it has never flown in combat. Its operations abroad have been transport missions: UN support in the early 1990s, the C-130H airlift between Kuwait and Iraq from 2004 to 2008, and evacuations such as Kabul in 2021. Its predecessors, the Imperial Army and Navy air services, fought from Tsingtao in 1914 to the end of the Pacific war in 1945.
What happened when a Soviet MiG-25 landed in Japan in 1976?
On 6 September 1976 Lieutenant Viktor Belenko flew a 米格-25 from Chuguyevka to Hakodate airport and defected. JASDF radars lost him at low level, and F-4EJs scrambled from Chitose could not find him. The aircraft was dismantled, examined and returned to the Soviet Union in 30 crates on 15 November 1976. Japan then bought E-2C airborne early warning aircraft.
Is the JASDF being renamed?
Yes. The Ministry of Defense’s FY2026 budget reorganises the service into the 航空宇宙自衛隊 (Japan Air and Space Self-Defense Force, provisional name) during the fiscal year, which ends on 31 March 2027, and creates a Space Operations Group. The plan was first reported for 2027. On 30 September 2026 the service’s website still used the name Air Self-Defense Force.
What will replace the Mitsubishi F-2?
The GCAP fighter, developed with the United Kingdom and Italy. The programme was announced on 9 December 2022 and a treaty followed on 14 December 2023, creating the GIGO agency in Reading. The industrial joint venture Edgewing was formed in June 2025. A demonstrator is due to fly by the end of 2027 and the aircraft to enter service from 2035. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries leads Japan’s share.
Does Japan fly the F-35B?
Yes. Japan ordered 42 F-35Bs in 2019 for a squadron of about 20 at Nyutabaru in Miyazaki Prefecture, and the first F-35B landed on the converted destroyer JS Kaga in October 2024. The FY2026 budget buys three more. Wikipedia records Japan operating both variants by April 2026, but the exact date the first F-35Bs arrived at Nyutabaru was not confirmed on an official page checked.
What is Blue Impulse?
The JASDF’s aerobatic team, based at Matsushima with the Kawasaki T-4 since 1995/96. It was ordered formed in April 1960 at Hamamatsu on the F-86F佩刀式战斗机 and drew the Olympic rings over Tokyo in 1964. It flew the Mitsubishi T-2 from 1982, and a team T-2 crashed at the Hamamatsu air show on 14 November 1982, killing its pilot. The team escaped the 2011 tsunami because it was away at Ashiya.
Why did the F-15J upgrade become so expensive?
The plan to modernise the newer F-15Js as the "Japan Super Interceptor" was estimated at about US$4.5 billion for 98 aircraft in 2019. By 2022 the estimate was 646.5 billion yen for only 68 aircraft. The upgrade contract in the FY2020 budget was suspended after design and set-up costs rose, according to Japanese Wikipedia. The older F-15Js that cannot be upgraded are to be replaced by F-35s.
