The fighters were also equipped with the same advanced air to air missiles as the F-15, including the AIM-7E/F Sparrow and AIM-9L/P Sidewinder as well as Mitsubishi ASM-1 anti ship missiles. These upgrades effectively made the F-4 a fourth generation aircraft, a close second in its performance to the F-15 which far surpassed the F-16A, a low cost single engine light fighter and successor to the F-5 in service since 1978, in its combat capabilities. (... aquí la opinión del columnista)Should Japan opt to further upgrade its F-4 fighters and extend their service life via refurbishment, meanwhile equipping them with modern radars and the latest American AIM-120 air to air missiles as other operators have done, they could well continue to serve for decades to come as lethal air superiority fighters. With Japan increasingly interested in developing modern air to ground and anti ship capabilities, the air force could also potentially follow <a href="http://time.com/3619184/the-warplane-that-will-not-die/">Iran’s example</a> and focus on developing the F-4 into a modern strike platform, making use of its long range and high payload to <a href="https://theaviationist.com/2013/09/25/qader-nasr-missiles/">deploy cutting edge missiles </a>for this role. This would help remove the burden of performing strike missions from the F-15 fleet, allowing the Eagles to focus on air superiority.A modernised F-4 would be able to fly significantly higher, faster and with more firepower than either the newer F-35 or the F-2, and do so with a greater degree of manoeuvrability as modern internal systems continue to reduce the fighter’s weight – removing several kilometres of wiring. Maintenance requirements for the Phantom are also considerably lower than those for more modern fighters, a considerable asset in times of war which can serve as an effective force multiplier - allowing aircraft to spend far more time in the air and less in the hanger. While the F-4 will never fully match more modern U.S. air superiority platforms such as the F-15 in its capabilities, it continues to provide an invaluable asset to Japan’s defence as a result of the versatility of the original airframe and the success of the upgrade program. Should Japan seek to maintain a large and reliable air superiority fleet at a low cost, retaining and upgrading the F-4 Phantom would be a highly effective means of doing so. <a href="https://militarywatchmagazine.com/article/japanese-phantoms-why-tokyo-s-f-4-fleet-is-still-a-danger-to-its-adversaries">https://militarywatchmagazine.com/article/japanese-phantoms-why-tokyo-s-f-4-fleet-is-still-a-danger-to-its-adversaries</a>Para el columnista el F-4 le parece de menos costo operativo que el F-15 pero más que el F-16A.Yo no se, es un avión antiguo pero de airframe noble... un purasangre concebido para la superioridad aérea. Un avión de largo alcánce y bimotor (seguridad cuando vuelas sobre el mar) que le vendría bien a un país de gran extensión territorial.Me lo imagino con ese tremendo cono de nariz y capacidad de generación eléctrica abundante operando un radar AESA El-2052 con una antena de tamaño mayor y misiles I-DERBY (ER) más Python V... me parecería un rival de cuidado para cualquier Eurofighter Typhoon T1/T2 (ni que decir Gripen E o F-16V), aunque las apariencias engañen a primera vista.Si por x razón la Argentina los recibiera (unos 40), tendría que dar de baja media FAA y recortar personal, sólo para operarles, pero debidamente modernizados deben ser temibles.Saludos</blockquote>
