A Decal Trophy and Discounts for Japan Self-Defense Forces Day!

The Japan Self-Defense Forces were established on July 1st 1954. Initially, they held only a defensive mandate, but over time they began participating in international missions (typically UN peacekeeping operations) and providing assistance to their allies. The Self-Defense Forces are also deployed to assist during major natural disasters, such as the earthquakes of 1995 and 2011.

[p align="justify"]About these vehicles

• [p align="justify"] IJN Kiyoshimo  lacks armor-piercing shells, making it better suited for a support role. It is well-equipped for this task, boasting secondary-caliber guns capable of fending off both boats and aircraft. Against larger targets, it can fireh 610 mm torpedoes, ensuring they don’t get too comfortable, either!

• [p align="justify"]The J2M4 Kai  features improved speed and a higher rate of climb compared to earlier versions of the Raiden, thanks to the installation of a new 1,854-horsepower engine. It is armed with four 20 mm autocannons and can carry two 60 kg high-explosive bombs into combat.
