JMOD has trouble convincing USA to export F-22 as next F-X to replace JASDF F-4, because of JMSDF Aegis ship intelligence leaks, and other intelligence leaks to China.
JMOD considers extending use of F-4, which entered service since 1973.
Next fiscal year, seven of 91 F-4 will retire, and replaced by F-2.

Air Force officials are making significant changes to A-10 Thunderbolt IIs as part of the “Precision Engagement” upgrade, which changes the aircraft designation from the A-10A to the A-10C. “It’s the largest upgrade the A-10 has ever had by far,” said Maj. Drew English, the program manager for A-10C Precision Engagement.

ROC Minister of Defense Li Tian Yu went to thank the Highway Department of the Ministry of Transportation, for their cooperation during the recent Han Guang 23 military exercise.
27 years ago, before the Zhong Shan Highway was completed and opened, Li flew F-104 and T-33 at low altitude, to evaluate its feasibility as an emergency landing strip.
Li was a former ROCAF F-104 pilot. In early May, he replaced Li Jie as Minister of Defense.

] Any more photos of F-15K Slam Eagle?

As Japan and Taiwan have JASDF and ROCAF fan sites with photos of practically all JASDF or ROCAF jet fighters of a certain type (such as F-2, F-4, F-5, F-15, or F-16) and sorted by serial number; I assume South Korea also has equivalent photo archive-type ROKAF fan sites out there?

As I said before, I can’t read Korean language. Maybe other Netters in this forum will recommend some English-friendly photo archive-type ROKAF fan sites?
