History
Heisei era
Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II
Godzilla approached Kyoto to locate BabyGodzilla after defeating Mechagodzilla. Four F-16s led a G-Force attack against him, accompanied by conventional tanks, MBT-MB92, and MBAW-93 Maser Cannons, and multiple rocket launchers. As usual, Godzilla was unfazed by their weapons and shot down two of the F-16s with his atomic ray. As he finished off the ground forces, the remaining F-16s exhausted their ammunition and were forced to retreat. Godzilla continued his way towards the city, following the young Godzillasaurus' telepathic signals.

F-16s attack Yonggary as the monster rampages through Los Angeles. His force field interferes with their missiles' targeting systems, causing most of them to miss and hit buildings in the vicinity. His fireballs destroy most of the jets. Later, after T-force destroys the Daemon which allowed the Galaxion aliens to control Yonggary, more F-16s target him. He dodges their missiles, which demolish a building, then saves civilians from the falling debris, proving to the military that he's no longer hostile.
