Citing the command of the U.S. Air Force, the Nikkei newspaper reported that the U.S. military is considering permanently stationing 38 of the latest upgraded F-15X fighter jets at Kaden Air Base on Okinawa Island.
The production of F-15EX fighters began only in 2020. The permanent deployment of these aircraft is seen as an essential part of China's deterrence strategy. Nikkei writes.
