It looks like Japan is looking at it (and others) as an F4 replacement. Here. (http://www.asahi.com/english/Herald-asahi/TKY200508250268.html)

Maybe we can sell them our inventory - it would go down well with the Treasury :(

I can't tell from the article if they're after interceptors, Strike aircraft or both. I'm assuming the latter.

But that raises interesting questions on what they might be after, given the Kai Phantoms are air defence, anti shipping and recon...
