The AIM-7 Sparrow is a medium-range semi-active radar homing air-to-air missile operated by the United States Air Force, US Navy, and USMC as well as various allied air forces and navies. Sparrow and its derivatives were the West’s principal beyond visual range (BVR) air-to-air missile from the late 1950s until the 1990s. It remains in service, although it is being phased out in aviation applications in favor of the more advanced AIM-120 AMRAAM. The armed forces of Japan employ the sparrow missile, though it is being phased out and replaced by the Mitsubishi AAM-4. NATO pilots use the brevity code Fox One in radio communication to signal launch of a Semi-Active Radar Homing Missile such as the Sparrow.

AGM-154A Joint Standoff Weapon 3D Model
The AGM-154A Joint Standoff Weapon or JSOW is currently under development by Raytheon [Texas Instruments] for the Air Force and the Navy. The AGM-154A (Formerly Advanced Interdiction Weapon System) is intended to provide a low cost, highly lethal glide weapon with a standoff capability. JSOW family of kinematically efficient, air-to-surface glide weapons, in the 1,000-lb class, provides standoff capabilities from 15 nautical miles (low altitude launch) to 40 nautical miles (high altitude launch). The JSOW will be used against a variety of land and sea targets and will operate from ranges outside enemy point defenses. The JSOW is a launch and leave weapon that employs a tightly coupled Global Positioning System (GPS)/Inertial Navigation System (INS), and is capable of day/night and adverse weather operations. The JSOW uses inertial and global positioning system for midcourse navigation and imaging infra-red and datalink for terminal homing.

Mitsubishi F1 Ground Attack scheme 3D Model
The Mitsubishi F-1 is a single-seat multi-role fighter aircraft designed and manufactured jointly by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Fuji Heavy Industries for the Japan Air Self Defence Force (JASDF). It was the first indigenous fighter aircraft built post-World War II. A total of 77 F-1s were built between 1977 and 1987. This time with ground attack weapons.

Mitsubishi T2 Ground Attack version 3D Model
The Mitsubishi T-2 sea version was a supersonic version for the Japanese Air Self Defense Force (JASDF). It was used as an sea attack as well as the original trainer mission. The T-2 used the same engine as the SEPECAT , the Turbomeca Adour, built in Japan by Ishikawajima – Harima Heavy Industries. The SEPECAT T.2 and the Mitsubishi T-2 look similar, but they’re definitely not the same aircraft. It’s a case of engineers with the same problem coming up with similar solutions.Now in a pretty lizzard scheme armed with JDAM &missile
