Design & Development
Background
The SJ-1 was originally designated as the RY-5 Interceptor Program, an aircraft development project initiated by Ryusei with the objective is replacing the Air Force's ageing inventor of AR-3 interceptors. The project began in 1992 and at the time the RY-5 was meant as a third-generation aircraft, a cheap replacement. However in 1994 in an attempt to promote cooperation & regional security with its neighbors and partners decided to invite both Fusou and Keija into the new interceptor project. With the inclusion of international partners, the aircraft's mission & specification parameters were expanded in order to make it scalable and future-proofed. TBC
