Mitsubishi F-05M/Raijin

• The Mitsubishi F-05-M/Raijin, is an Anti-Ship fighter, developed by General Dynamics and by Mitsubishi, designated as a third generation fighter, it was developed in 1978 and was produced until 2003, until it was replaced by more modern fighters. At first, the JASDF needed a robust anti-ship aircraft with plenty of weaponry, which for a pacifist country was quite weird, but due to the Cold War, its purpose would be to destroy Soviet ships that obviously attacked Japanese territory or allies.
• Even with basic instruments, I still have very advanced electronic equipment for the time, known as "Sea Dragon", Because his weaponry was and is still very heavy, being composed by:
- 2x CBU-125C II
- 6x AGM-114 ( Experimental Weapon )
- 4x AGM-172F ( Experimental Weapon )
- 4x Rocket Pods
- 2x AIM-125J ( Experimental Weapon )

• Most of the weapons were experimental, so they had certain risks of failure, but the chance of failure according to the calculations was 12.5%, in addition, the control panel, even quite advanced, was still simple, too simple according to other engineers and designers.

• This aircraft was not made to make sharp turns or go at high speeds, but its purpose is precision and also the specific heavy weaponry.
• Some of the missions in which it officially participated, since it was even used by other countries, were: First Gulf War, Second Gulf War and Yugoslav Wars, and probably many others, was responsible for sinking ships and serving as ground support for the troops.

Notes: I won't be able to list the AGMs, so be careful with the controls.
