It is the first international deployment of the Japanese F-35As fighter jets.
A pair of Japanese F-35A Lightning II fighter jets are in Australia’s Northern Territory on their first international mission, the Australian Department of Defence announced.
The visit marks the first activity under a new agreement to facilitate reciprocal access and cooperation between the two countries' defense forces.
Two Japanese Air Self-Defense Force's F-35A fighter jets have arrived at a military base in Australia for training, marking the first time Japan deployed the aircraft overseas, the Australian Defense Department says.
As Australia hails the Japanese F-35s' arrival, it's also working with another partner, the US, on the much more somber task of investigating the deadly crash of a US Marine V-22.
