The SJ-1 Okami (Myrian: 狼, Romanized: Lang / Mizuhese: 狼, lit.: "Wolf") is a fourth-generation multirole combat aircraft jointly developed by the Ryusei Rockets & Aerospace of Aldia, Tashihise-Nagadawa Heavy Industries Corporation of Keija and the Amatsuzake Concern of Fusou. It was originally intended as a solo development project by Aldia to replace its ageing squadron of interceptors. The designation "SJ" stands for Sentōki (Mizuhese: 戦闘機, and Jiānjíjī Myrian: 歼击机), both of which means fighter aircraft in their respective languages. The "1" designation implies that the SJ-1 program may not be the only fighter program the three countries might participate in. The SJ-1 was previously a solo development venture by the Ryusei Rockets & Aerospace and was designated the RY-5 program. It was originally meant only as an interceptor aircraft to replace the Air Force's ageing AR-3 interceptors, however in the spirit of fostering stronger ties with its neighbors & allies, the Aldian Government decided to invite its closest neighbor and overseas ally to develop the fighter together. The primary purpose of the SJ-1 is to serve as a multirole fighter, however there are variants that specialize in a variety of roles such as but not limited to: reconnaicense, interceptors and ground attack variants. The Commonwealth Air Force currently has 40 SJ-1Is in active service with another 180 on order, meanwhile the Commonwealth Air Territorial Forces operates a total of 180 SJ-1s of various types with a further 60 on order.
