\n BERLIN (Kyodo) — Two Japan Air Self-Defense Force F-15 aircraft arrived for defense exchanges at a military base in northeastern Germany on Tuesday following a stop in Britain, marking the first-ever deployment of ASDF fighter jets to Europe.\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n The move comes as Japan and NATO countries are stepping up defense cooperation amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and China’s growing military activities, viewing the security of the Euro-Atlantic and Indo-Pacific as closely intertwined.\n<\/p>\n

\n The pair of Japanese F-15s arrived at Laage Air Base in Germany. Since earlier this month, Japan has sent F-15s, along with transport and refueling planes, to the United States, Canada and Britain as part of Atlantic Eagles friendly visits to enhance defense cooperation.\n<\/p>\n

\n German Air Force Chief Lt. Gen. Holger Neumann told a welcoming ceremony that history was being made as the countries’ fighters flew together.\n<\/p>\n

\n ASDF head Gen. Takehiro Morita emphasized that Germany is an essential European partner, vowing to work with it to bring peace and stability to the international community.\n<\/p>\n

\n There are no plans for joint exercises during the visit to Germany through Friday as the main purpose is to enhance unit-to-unit exchanges.\n<\/p>\n

\n Germany has been increasing its engagement with the Indo-Pacific region, where China has been expanding its military activities in the South China Sea and nearby waters.\n<\/p>\n

\n In July last year, German Air Force Eurofighters conducted a joint exercise with ASDF F-15s at Chitose Air Base in Hokkaido, northern Japan.\n<\/p>\n
