It’s the Type-25 HVGP ?
No, its the Type 25 ASM, air-aunched version of the Type 25 SSM.
The Type 25 HVGP is a hyper veloctiy glide projectile, as its name says.

concurrent of the XASM-3 ?
yeah, ASM-3 its more meant as a high value target killer, kinda like ship carriers or big destroyers or even cruisers, while Type 25 SSM is meant as a frigate or a heavily defended ship killer wich its meant to intercept targets at standoff aka a tactical interceptor, while also being capable of doing anti ground works

Is the intake covered up?
Also, I wonder if this missile might also have the option of deploying countermeasures, like how the Russian modified their Kodiak missiles
there’s probably little hope that the F-2 Super Kai could make it into the game, considering it didn’t happen, right?
(Not that it stopped the F-16AJ, but well)
The AJ was a very exceptional decision, it happened because there was really no alternative at the time (before Japan’s subtrees). Now, Japan has 3 subtrees that are well able to fill all the BR gaps and bring variety.
It also wasn’t the same situation, they just copypasted a F-16A which is a real plane, and called it a day. The Super Kai on the other hand was never built, the only thing close to it is the F-16E/F Block 60 since it was basically gonna be a Block 60 version of the F-2. But since the F-2 remains structurally different from the F-16, there’s nothing very close to it that exists so it’s not really possible.
So, as cool as I find this project, honestly there’s no way it will be added (not any time soon at least)
