The so-called Japanese selfdefence forces sport one of the most powerful air forces in the Asia-Pacific region

of today and herein lives the traditional Jap spirit of aggression that is currently on display against its neighbours. In ecember !"#!$ Japanese naval air forces virtually wiped out the %& Pacific fleet e'cept for some assets of the fleet that were out at sea during the blow dished out by the Japs. Today$ in ecember ()!*$ the people behind the airpower of the Japs self-defence forces are +een to emulate their earlier brothers. ,i+e them$ they possess a much vaunted top-of-the-line fighter with which they hope to obtain victory. Thus to neutralise the current Japs much vaunted fighter$ the --!.J$ the P,A must develop and use air decoys. Air decoys or aerial disruptors are flying bodies that loo+ li+e large missiles that carry special electronic transmitters without any e'plosives. They emit electronic signatures that mimic those belonging to real aircraft. /onstant and heavy use of these decoys will wear down the Jap air forces as they cannot afford to ta+e to the air every tme a plane is detected. Thus the provocative flights by the Japs in the air wll have to cease sooner or later.
