Panavia/Mitsubishi Tornado J-Kai
3 Kokudan/3 Hikotai, Misawa, Japan
21 June, 2007, versus DPRK Peoples Liberation Navy





When the UN's Restore Dignity "humanitarian mission" into the DPRK was met with resistance, Japan came under attack from what the UN claimed was a "failed state." In response, the Japanese Self Defence Force was put at the disposal of the UN.

On the night of the 21st June, Japanese aircraft and naval vessels made their first combat engagements of the conflict when the DPRK's navy left port en-mass in a vain attempt at maritime defence. This night would go down in history as the Korean Turkey Shoot.

8 licence built Mitsubishi Tornado J-Kai anti-shipping attack aircraft were the first JASDF jets into action, including this one. According to official media releases, the unnamed crew of this aircraft "participated in the sinking" of one Kronshtadt class vessel and two P6 class torpedo boats during the night. The 8 aircraft were armed with a variety of weapons, including 750 lib GCS-1 and 500 lb GCS-2 IR guided bombs and ASM-2 anti-shipping missiles.

Ordnance:
CAe "Azure Shadow" Sky Shadow J-Kai ECM pod
CAe "Beige Ox" towed radar decoy
2 x external fuel tanks fuel
2 x AAM-4 and 2 x AAM-2 on LAU-138 launchers (with integrated CAe "Ruby Vision" chaff dispensers)
Sony tactical communications jamming pod (designation unknown)
CAe "Obsidian Rule" TIALD-2000 targeting pod
2 x JM-117 with GCS-1 IR guidance kit
ASM-2 IR guided anti-shipping missile
2 x Bombardier "Jade River" chaff/flare dispensers

A winner all the way 'round, Comrade Harps! With that load-out it looks like it could single-handedly take out Kim Jong-Il! Super work!

Tasty Tonka there, Comrade.

The loadout looks like all kinds of nasty for the DPRK. and of course the Japanese mari scheme looks boss on anything.
