History
Millennium era
Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla
With Godzilla resurfacing in Tokyo bay heading for Shinigawa, 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 at Kamakura, he began to advance on Tokyo, and the JSDF's forces were mobilized, including the JASDF's fleet of Mitsubishi F-2s, which supplemented a USAF-JSDF-led force of AH-64 Apaches and AH-1 Cobras. The fighter jets and helicopters unloaded their weaponry on the kaiju, but Godzilla barely noticed their assault and kept journeying further inland.
