The 191 F-35s manufactured in 2025 are currently the most made in a singular year, with nearly 5 nations signing on in 2025 and another 4 pending with as much as 200 more airframes, there is potential for the next few years to see even more of the Single-engined, multirole stealth fighter being made.

🇯🇵 Kawasaki EC-1 — The "Hunchback of Iruma"
— A rare and specialized asset of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF), the Kawasaki EC-1 is a one-off electronic warfare (EW) platform. Converted from the C-1 transport, it serves as a critical training and jamming asset for the Electronic Warfare Squadron at Iruma Air Base.
🔹 Type: Electronic Warfare (EW) / Jamming Training Aircraft.
🔹 Performance:
Engines: Twin Mitsubishi-built Pratt & Whitney JT8D-M-9 turbofans.
Speed: Max speed of ~800 km/h.
Distinction: Instantly recognizable by its bulbous black nose, tail radome, and several fuselage bulges housing advanced sensors.
🔹 Mission Profile:
Radar Jamming: Equipped with the domestic XJ/ALQ-5 ECM suite and Toshiba ELINT systems to disrupt enemy signals.
🔹 Status: As the C-1 fleet nears total retirement by the end of FY2024, this legendary aircraft is being succeeded by the much larger and more capable RC-2 (based on the Kawasaki C-2).
