The Mitsubishi T-2 is a trainer jet fighter developed in Japan in the early 70s. Back in the mid-60s Japan investigated a new supersonic trainer aircraft to replace the obsolete sub-sonic Fuji T-1. In March 1968 the project took final shape, followed by the creation of the first prototype designated XT-2. Some of the prototypes were later brought up to production series standard. The aircraft was armed with a JM61A1 20mm rotary cannon, widely known as “Vulcan”.
The T-2 wields a variety of weapons, including a pair of AIM-9E air-to-air missiles, up to five 500lb or 750lb bombs, as well as FFAR and Zuni Mk 32 rockets in various combinations.
The T-2 Early can be pre-ordered from the Gaijin Store.
