Proper noun

ASDF

  1. (military) Initialism of Air Self-Defense Force (the Japanese air force)
    • 2018 November 29, Brad Lendon and Zachary Cohen, “Japan preparing to put US-designed stealth jets on an ‘aircraft carrier’”, in CNN‎[1], Atlanta, Ga.: Warner Bros. Discovery, archived from the original on 24 March 2025:
      “The F-35B can operate from modified runways or make-shift airfields thereby giving Japan’s Air Self-Defense Force (ASDF) more options to operate from smaller, more distant Japanese islands in a pinch. This is quite important for survivability and response if the major airbases are put out of commission in a saturation missile attack,” he said.
