#ki-200

After buying a day of premium with some gold I saved up and a full day of straight grinding I finally did it. My first non-german or soviet jet. I played enough war thunder today to last months.

A few more pictures of the Ki-200 that I found around the internet.

The Ki-200, Japan’s secret rocket propelled interceptor. Had it’s first test flight in August 1945, and full-scale production was just about to begin before Japan surrendered to Allied command in the pacific.  This is an amazing, high-tech aircraft that might have been able to change the fate of Hiroshima and Nagasaki if production had begun just a couple months earlier.  Many dozen partially assembled Ki-200 were found in hangers hidden in mountain caves, in the aftermath of the war.

Imperial Japanese Navy J8M Shusui prototype aircraft at rest, 1945. Known as the Ki-200 in the Imperial Japanese Army, the aircraft was basically a license-built Me 163 Komet rocket-propelled fighter.
