History
Showa era
Ebirah, Horror of the Deep
After Godzilla defeated the Giant Condor, the Red Bamboo deployed a fleet of stolen Shenyang J-6s to combat him. The jets began firing on Godzilla with their weapons, but Godzilla wasn't injured by them, and fought back, grabbing some and crushing them. As the battle continued, Godzilla knocked several planes out of the sky with his tail, before shooting down the rest with his atomic breath.
