Which fighter aircraft did the Japan Air Self Defense Force fly during Veer Guardian 2026?

  1. A.F-15J
  2. B.F-2A
  3. C.F-35A
  4. D.Mitsubishi F-1

Correct answer

B. F-2A

Explanation

The correct answer is F-2A. The Ministry of Defence release states that the Japan Air Self Defense Force participated in the exercise with the F-2A fighter aircraft, while the Indian Air Force deployed a mix of the Su-30 MKI, the Rafale and the indigenous Light Combat Aircraft Tejas. Option A is wrong because the release does not name that type among the Japanese aircraft at Jodhpur. Option C is wrong for the same reason, as no fifth generation Japanese fighter was reported in this drill. Option D is wrong because that older type is not mentioned anywhere in the release. Questions on joint exercises very often ask which aircraft each side brought, so it is worth memorising the Indian package and the single Japanese type together as one set of facts.
