History
Millennium era
Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack
A squadron of four F-7Js were fielded by the Defense Air Force shortly after Godzilla killed Baragon and began advancing towards Tokyo. As the jets approached, Godzilla stopped to look up at them upon hearing their engines. The F-7Js dropped guided bombs onto Godzilla's back, setting it on fire and staggering him; however, this provoked him into attacking the aircraft. As Yuri Tachibana watched and filmed, Godzilla shot all four of the F-7Js down with his atomic breath. The wreckage of the planes rained down across the surrounding area, with a large portion of the fourth jet landing on a house and blowing it to pieces.
Capabilities
Armament
The F-7Js which attacked Godzilla were shown dropping guided bombs; each aircraft could carry a total of six, with two hardpoints on each wing, and an additional hardpoint on each of the jet's two air intakes. The jets also possessed wingtip hardpoints for air-to-air missiles, though these were not used against Godzilla.
Trivia
- The F-7J's overall design bears a close resemblance to the Soviet-designed Su-27 Flanker, an all-weather, twin-engine fighter jet manufactured by Sukhoi. In addition, the canards present on two of the F-7Js give the aircraft a resemblance to other aircraft in the Flanker family, particularly the Su-33 Flanker-D and Su-30MKI Flanker-H.
- The sole F-7J pilot seen in the film is played by frequent Godzilla series actor Takehiro Murata.
