Millennium era
Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla
With Godzilla resurfacing in Tokyo Bay heading for Shinagawa, the AMF sent a squadron of five F-2s to confront Godzilla. The first three all fired volleys of missiles at the approaching monster, with a second pair of F-2s doing the same, all to no effect. Godzilla retaliated by firing his atomic breath at the jets, swiftly taking them all out of the sky.
Reiwa era
Shin Godzilla
After Godzilla emerged in his towering fourth form in Kamakura, he began to advance toward Tokyo, and the JSDF's forces were mobilized, including several of the JASDF's Mitsubishi F-2s. The fighter jets joined the JGSDF's complement of AH-64 Apaches and AH-1 Cobras in Operation Taba to attack Godzilla from the air. Together the aircraft unloaded their weaponry upon the kaiju, with the F-2s dropping JDAM precision-guided bombs, but Godzilla barely noticed their assault and kept walking further inland.
