U.S. defense officials are preparing a version of the stealth F-22 Raptor that Japan has expressed strong interest in buying, reports UPI.
While the Department of Defense is working to design an export version of the Raptor, U.S. Sen. Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, this week sent a letter to Japanese Ambassador the United States Ichiro Fujisaki saying that the F-22 would likely carry a price tag of $290 million.
