Sorry for the delay gentlemen. It is indeed a twin-engine, so it is not an AV-8A, nor the Fiat G.91. It is much newer than the F-101 Voodoo. It is comparable to a Soko J-22 Orao.

Sorry, not the IAR-93, nor the Shenyang Q5M. The mystery aircraft was jointly developed by two large corporations. It evolved from an earlier two-seater design.

ICT_SLB Sorry, not the F-20 Tigershark. The mystery aircraft was not built in the United States. Only 77 were produced, and the type was withdrawn from active service in 2005. Here is a look at its cannon:

Akubra has it
Well done
The Mitsubishi F-1 was jointly developed with Fuji Heavy Industries to design Japan's first domestically produced fighter aircraft since World War II. Based on the Mitsubishi T-2 supersonic trainer, it was a totally Japanese effort, although it bears a superficial resemblance to the SEPECAT Jaguar.
Rare F-1 video with Led Zeppelin sound track:

As noted by a keen-eyed ppruner, the F-1 in the video has a one-piece windscreen. The photo posted has a braced screen like a T-2 trainer. I've researched the photo from two Japanese sources and it confirms the original photo posted is a F-1, not a T-2. I was able to source a photo of a T-2 with a single-piece windscreen as well. The line drawing was sourced from Jane's Aircraft Recognition Guide, 1999. The photo below also shows a braced windscreen.
