Japan is on its way to operating a fixed-wing aircraft carrier for the first time since the end of World War II.

F-35B stealth jets from the U.S. Marine Corps have embarked on the modified helicopter carrier Izumo.

The Japanese Ministry of Defense has released a number of photos and videos of the event, which took place in the waters south of Shikoku.

Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force Rear Adm. Shukaku Komuta said in a statement,
"This trial has proved that the JS Izumo has the capability to support takeoffs and landings of STOVL aircraft at sea, which will allow us to provide an additional option for air defense in the Pacific Ocean in the near future"


The exercise will help to evaluate the modifications that have been made to the Izumo so far, as part of its transition from a helicopter carrier to a full-fledged aircraft carrier.

Viewers may note that Japan is in the process of acquiring its own F-35Bs.
Integration of the F-35B with Izumo class warships is being seen as a way to counter an increasingly hostile China.


In this video, Defense Updates analyzes how Japan will soon have two new aircraft carriers armed with F-35Bs?
