Japan stopped licensed new builds in 1998. These are upgrades to existing aircraft.

I wonder if they zero time the airframes? If so this might be a good chance to add to the Fleet, 100 of these and 65-80 F35s and we would have a pretty wicker Airforce.

If you build it they will come. We have not built anything for a long time, hence few have come to join.

I don't think that's fundamentally true. The only thing that's boosted our recruitment numbers has been conflict. Our pilot and technician numbers have high entry requirements, relatively, and long lead times in training.
