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!

Can we expect a devblog for italian vehicles today?
''two AIM-9B Sidewinder air-to-air missiles'' those on the Pictures are Aim-9E's
They showed it in the Sneak Peak steam this thing and the F-100 will get AIM-9Es and the MiG-19s will get an equivalent (not sure how they're called tho)
Cpt_High_Ground, R13's i think
I still care about the new German tank.
Why does the plane have the tip of its tail in an awkward position in the picture where it is shown from the front with orange camo and bombs?
You have good eyes! I think it's for a parachute, devs sometime models elements on a vehicle that are functional in real life, but not in game (yet, at least), just in case.
Ouiche, "Yet, at least" great! At some point we might get parachutes to assist landing with these speedy demons!
so this is why they add ground to air missiles
The US needs a 10.0 lmao, f100 lost its only advantage of top speed, the new missiles arent going to magically increase its preformance. But this t2 jet is SUPER SEXY i must say. do yall think a new jet for the US is coming or naw (this update)
bets f5e or f104
Okay Haha you can stop now stop teasing us, now show us our mig 21 and f4 plz!
I’ll uninstall this game if America , Russia fight against t-2 in mig 19 or f100 I want mig 21 and f104 or f4 gaijin please
I am very, very very angry at you Gaijin!!!! Javelin is still broken, cant go 1140kph but you add a MACH 1.6 aircraft!?? Before the British get a supersonic aircraft?!! We could somewhat take on the Mig19's! but nothing can keep up with this aircraft!!!! NOTHING!! The British have been dismissed on supersonic aircraft!! SOOO how bout Tornado or electric lightning?? Or you gonna add more russian, germans, american and japanese?!
Tornado is far to advanced for now, early English Electric Lightnings could only go mach 1.7 so could be added soon, same for the sepecat Jaguar with early versions having a max speed of mach 1.6, I think it is likely we could see either the Lightning or Jaguar soon, but perhaps quite a bit longer until Tornado appears.
bacongaming, The Mitsubishi T-2 is a Jaguar copy. Its contenders would be the F5E Freedom Fighter and the SEPECAT Jaguar
A 1975 Plane against the 1950's Planes?, really?
F100 D is now even more useless, what a brick...what a brick...
