At least they tried to disimulate before, now they are just blatant about it.
The Klu (Royal Netherlands Airforce) visited Japan recently at Misawa AFB.
This patch is awesome
here are some pics

Pretty funny that in the original Type 81 they said “we will not be adding ARH missile to it because it has no radar”, only to then give the multi-vehicle Type 81 this missile and the ability to fire it without a radar lock anyway

Then they were told that should be possible with both missiles and not even a year later they decided that instead of adding it to the EO/IR missile they just took it away from the ARH missile.

Hay everyone I’m looking into something for infantry does Japan have any sort of armed military Robot? AKA robot dog thing or tracked robot with a 50cal thing.
Mission Master SP and THeMIS were trialed by the JGSDF
JASDF has the Ghost Robotics Vision 60 in active service.

There’s a Mitsubishi UGV based on the old Type 89 IFV with 30mm cannon and Switchblade 600 Loitering Munitions shown at DSEI 2025, but this isn’t made yet and I haven’t seen anything new about it since then (but that doesn’t have to mean anything).

That’s good where they armed? Any articles? Never mind I see the ammo belt on one

Thanks would be helpful for Japan once infantry gets underway as a support vehicle

I’m probably most excited for a future Japanese Infantry update with the amount of variety we can get with different prototypes and such.
Also some arial drones I hope can come too
Then there is the entire Fuji-Imvac catalogue to pick form

Even better two, another upgrade would’ve been a higher thrust F110-GE-132 engine and there was a twin seater variant with extended avionics spine. This variant usually gets ignored because of the single-seat scale model but it’s easily my favorite.
Sadly it was only a Lockheed proposal with no prototype, even if there’s a pretty decent edited image that shows what it could’ve been.
Not a real photo
It originally (as far as I could find) comes from a 2016 article claiming it was an F-2 with F-16 CFTs.
