] Did their F-15s have the capapbility to independently target 4 targets at the same time

ISTR something about the F-14 can track 24 and engage six, and the F-16 can track 30 and engage four, but I don’t know the relevant radar versions.
If these numbers are correct, then probably the F-15, as an air force interceptor, can track tens of targets and engage some of them.

] did the Japanease airforce at that time have PGMs ?

JASDF has a Type 91 guidance system for bombs, previously called GCS-1, that can be added to a Mark 82 500-pounder, or to a JM-117 750-pounder.
JASDF tested them from 1988 to 1990, and standardised it in 1991 (thus Type “91”).

3 January 2012:
The retired B-26 from Classic Aircraft Aviation Museum at Portland, USA, arrived at Kao Hsiung Port, Taiwan.
On 4 January, it would be delivered to ROCAF Academy at Kang Shan.
According to schedule, on 9 January, US mechanics would come and re-assemble the B-26 in as few as one day.
After about three weeks, US mechanics would assist to re-paint the B-26 as a ROCAF Black Bat spec ops squadron aircraft.
Afterwards, they would supervise the disassembly, packing, and emigration of two ROCAF retired F-5E and F-5F (one each).
Before the exchange, Classic Aircraft Aviation Museum already had at least two B-26s.

Santa meets jet Christmas display

( Barbara Haddock Taylor / Baltimore Sun / December 22, 2011 )

Santa watches, stunned, as Rudolph sits stuck in the F-104 jet’s air intake while an elf retrieves a tricycle from the tail and the pilot sits nearby repairing a red wagon.
The Christmas scene, dreamed up by a collector of World War II planes, is attracting crowds in St. Michaels.
