The Mitsubishi T-2 is a domestically designed Japanese supersonic jet trainer aircraft, developed in the early 1970s. In update 1.87, Japanese pilots will also have the chance to enter the supersonic era with the introduction of an armed version of the T-2, coming to the game very soon!
Briefly: The first Japanese supersonic aircraft, both in history and in War Thunder.
With the formation of the JSDF after WW2, Japan’s military equipment, at least as far as air vehicles are concerned, mostly consisted of foreign designs. As military aviation headed more and more towards supersonic speeds in the second half of the 20th century, Japan was faced with the question of how to keep up with this rapid technological advancement.
In the mid 1960s, Japan started looking for a new supersonic jet trainer aircraft to replace the no longer suitable subsonic Fuji T-1. A decision had to be made between acquiring a once again foreign design, or develop an entirely new aircraft locally. In the end, the decision was made to develop and build a new domestically designed aircraft.
In 1967, three Japanese companies submitted designs for consideration, of which Mitsubishi’s was picked as the winner. In March 1968, the design was completed and work on constructing the prototype, designated XT-2, commenced. In early 1971, the prototype had been built and conducted its maiden flight later that year in July.
Following the successful maiden flight of the first prototype, three further were ordered. Of the four built prototypes, two were unarmed while the other two did receive weapons. These would serve as the base models for the subsequent production aircraft.
Having satisfied the requirements, the XT-2 entered production as the T-2. An order for 90 production aircraft was placed, but a total of 96 aircraft were built by the end of production in 1988, when prototypes and test models are also taken into account. The T-2 entered service with the JSDF in 1975 and remained in service up until 2006.
In War Thunder, the T-2 will be the first supersonic jet aircraft to occupy rank VI of the Japanese aviation tree, with the release of the upcoming update 1.87. Soon, Japanese pilots too will have the chance to fight at supersonic speeds and gain access to advanced guided weaponry!
The T-2 is powered by two Ishikawa-Harima TF40-801A turbojet engines, which are Japanese licence-built versions of the Rolls-Royce Turbomeca Adour. The engines are able to produce a base thrust of 20.95 kN each, going up to 31.76 kN however when engaging the afterburners. All this raw power results in the T-2 being able to achieve a top speed of 1,700 km/h (Mach 1.6) at 10,975m altitude.
Fun Fact: The T-2 was the first Japanese-built aircraft to break the sound barrier and fly at supersonic speeds.
Despite the fact that the T-2 was a trainer aircraft, Japanese pilots in War Thunder shouldn’t worry about being sent off into combat without anything to combat their enemies with! The T-2 represents the armed version of this trainer machine and hosts a good selection of armament options for pilots to choose from.
Apart from the primary armament, consisting of a single 20mm rotary cannon in the nose, the T-2 can be outfitted with conventional bombs, unguided rocket pods as well as two AIM-9B Sidewinder air-to-air missiles! Thanks to this good variety of secondary armament options, the T-2 will not only be a top performer in air battles, but will also be a suitable pick for Japanese pilots to take into combined battles.
The T-2 is on final approach for the top ranks of the Japanese aviation tree and is expected to arrive with the release of the upcoming War Thunder update 1.87. In the meantime, make sure to stay tuned to the news for more information regarding the next major update coming to the game. Until then, happy hunting pilots!

mach 1.6 at 10000m is only 1700km/h but it is still a very fast jet
Oh it's quick for sure!
Ouiche, it's quichk!!
NUT, M1A1 devblog soon?
we already saw it on the stream, gib Leopard devblog instead
Asgar1205, Agreed
Almost 2000kph with an M61 and AIM-9E Sidewinders. Well great now EVERY plane in the game will be completely and utterly obsolete and useless, including the F-100D which I spend 4 weeks to grind for. A month of my life well wasted, thanks Gaijin.
u stil got luckey i have grinded for weeks for the javlin…. now i can make a custom hanger called museum just tu put the javlin
I only needed 4 days to get the f100, btw. i used the f86-f35 and prem-account
Cool cool, so planes like F-100 and Mig-19 (50s) will face this (70s) which is 250-300 km/h faster... reasonable balancing.
Well... The British tree has had the tier 6 javelin which doesnt reach 1000km and we've been expected to fight the f100's and mig 19pt which are atleast 300-400 km faster, not to mention better in every way possible.
Can we get the German Tank Dev Blog like plz this is pain
Are you joking? Germany has enough and also us, germany getting the best if not the second best jet, a very good prem jet, and they already have a really good lineup for this update and not to say l44 leo is at 8.7
Mark_PTY, USSR and US has enough NOT Germany!
Those camos!
Will italy recieve its rank 6 aircraft like all other nations in this update?
Sadly not this update, but stay tuned for future updates!
_PaDrE_, How do you know,are you a dev? An historian affiliated with gaijin?
Is the new German tank still in Germany or is it already on Gaijin computers? Beautiful aircraft by the way
nice job gaijin. this is very good. btw can USA or other nations get new supersonic jet? its seems to be very hard to against this T-2 with mig-19 and F-100. hope we can get new supersonic very soon :( F-8 crusader is nice option i think... french was used F-8 :D
in air rb the t2 will fight alongside the americans and brits
french used the f100d, the f100 is possible as the next french supersonic
Really don't get why the Japanese get to jump straight into a Jet from the 70's while everyone else is stuck in jets from the late 50's, but this is how it is I guess.
dude america got an 2010 helicopter ….. they dont give a f about production years
stefrick, So helicopter goodies make up for lack of Air RB focus??
