Tokyo is buying American - opts for the latest US made aircraft: E-2D, RQ-4 and V-22
The Japan Ministry of Defense has selected the V-22 tilt rotor aircraft produced by Bell and Boeing, and E-2D Advanced Hawkeye and RQ-4 Global Hawk unmanned aircraft, both produced by Northrop Grumman to equip its armed forces as part of its ongoing military modernization. The official selection was madd in November 2014. Tokyo has already selected the Lockheed Martin F-35 5th Generation stealth fighter to become its future front line fighter jet. Defense-Update reports.
According to the Japanese multi-year defense plan, the four E-2D will replace the E-2Cs currently operational, providing aerial surveillance for the Japanese military. The Advanced Hawkeye was favoured over the Boeing 737 AEW&C proposed by Boeing.
The Global Hawk was preferred over a modified Predator B proposed by General Atomics under the designation ‘Guardian ER’. Up to three such drones will be operated by the Japanese Self defense Air Force as a strategic reconnaissance assets, flying high-altitude, long endurance (HALE) intelligence collection missions.
In addition, Japan also announced its interest in procuring the V-22 osprey tilt-rotor aircraft, Tokyo has a requirement for 17 such aircraft. The total number could double over the longer term. The V-22s will be operated by the Japanese Army, supporting amphibious and rapid reaction forces, along with 52 new amphibious assault vehicles Japan intends to field as part of its the $240 billion defense acquisition plan.
Type selection identifies the capabilities and systems to be purchased to meet specific defense requirements. Following selection, the U.S. government will be asked to enter into the foreign military sale (FMS) process for these items. Contract terms, timing and quantities of aircraft are yet to be determined and, as such, details are not available at this time.

Is there anyone left that think the the big players are not all in bed together? Here is the real deal.
They are right about this at least. There are to many people in the world and most are desperate. So what is the fix? The world is being destroyed by over everything.
What kind of future can our kids look forward to? I for one have two kids which is less than zero population growth. 2.3 is the number I have heard, so we are responsible and my two kids are productive and not on support by the gov or anyone else.
WHILE THEY SPEND THEIR MONEY ON THIS LET’S SEE:
THEIR PEOPLE ARE DYING!
THEIR PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING!
THEIR PEOPLE HAVE REFUSED MY WORD FROM GOD WHOM I AM JACOB FROM THE BIBLE!
SO WHAT’S UP?
NOTHING! THIS WILL BE JUNK AND JAPAN SUNK! END OF THE STORY!
LETS MOVE ON TO WORLD FREE OF FUKUSHIMA!
The U.S. Military of today are nothing but “Holding Hands” and the leg between each others legs! So Mr Military “Men”, why do you wear pink panties, hold hands and sleep in each others beds today? I guess if that’s what you call “men” of today; are nothing close to the “Men” of yesteryear. Back then, they gave their lives for our nation and freedom, but todays military plain and simply don’t give a S_hit about our country, nor their citizens freedom anymore.
And to prove this FACT, not one so called “Honorable General” who claimed to be fired or left office the last years, not a single one have lifted one finger to hold up their oath and honor to reclaim and fight for our freedom from the criminal element in Officie today. These are the power who have had the connections, personnel, and power to do on Black Ops program against its very own criminal element in Washington DC today. Why? If they are true men of their word and honor, why stop your oath? They are nothing but paid bribed scumbags who collect their $8-10,000 a month pension to keep their mouths shut, and to disappear. Yeah, these are the real “Men” of today; who decided to accept their bribed money over that of their heart and soul for the nations benefit.
U.S. Military today have the power to change our nation, yet NOT ONE HAVE the balls or guts to do anything about it! It only takes ONE mliitary person, from any branch, to act as a hero, yet as we all in the US watching, have not seen nor heard of ONE SINGLE “MAN” to act like the real “Men” of years gone by. Each U.S. military openly wipes their behind with the stars and stripes daily, by knowingly refusing to confront our nations biggest enemey; who just happens to be a “Domestic Enemy”; as their oath stated they would protect us from. Yet not one lifted anything but their hard0n to their fellow solider.
U.S. mliitary are a total disgrace, who support the violent overthrow of the 1776 US Constitution, Our Bill Of Rights, and our freedom of our US citizens. May you and your families and children experience the utmost pain that the human bodies can handle for each of your treasonous actions to support the overthrow of our nation. You sold you heart, soul, morals and values for a job; and you refuse to protect the very citizens that you taken a oath to protect, and YOU DON’T CARE! YOU have the power to do it, yet each of you 100% refuse to do anything. And you continue to follow the criminally corrupt Generals appointed above you. As a old War Vet, you are all today simply a disgrace, and may all the millions of true american who died for our nation haunt you each into eternity for your treasonious actions.
The US Citizens depended upon each of you to protect us, yet you 100% fail and refuse to come and protect us when it is needed most. My each of your bloodlines be ended with you and your children because our nation do not need treasonous scum like you in any future. We need real men; but by the time you act, it will be the death of our nation. Todays Military and families, rot into enternity in the hellfire you deserve since you are supporting them by your actions today.
I AGREE!
