Japan’s Air Self-Defense Force is set to hold joint military exercises involving fighter jets from Germany, France and Spain next month, marking the first time that any Spanish air force aircraft visit Japan.

The ASDF announced the drills Tuesday. The three European countries’ fighters will visit Japan as part of Pacific Skies 24, a set of military drills in the Indo-Pacific region, it said.

It is the first visit to Japan by any German military aircraft since 2022, and the second consecutive year that any French military aircraft visit the country.
