摘要

On December 12, 2011 reports were appearing in the Japanese media stating that the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II had been selected to fulfil the Japan Air Self Defence Force's F-X requirement. Lockheed Martin had not been informed of the selection by the time AIR International went to press, although an announcement was expected to be made by the Defence Ministry on December 16.
