ileikplanes (05/19/2015) [-] German Design, Jap plane.
Japan bought the design plans off Germany in order to build an interceptor capable of tackling the B-29 Superfortress, it was bought for 20 million Deutschmarks I believe and one of the two subs that was carry everything the japs needed to build the plane was sunk so they had to make do with what they got.

gggeee ONLINE (05/19/2015) [-] Coming from someone with multiple tier Vs the 163 is decent but the Ki-200 is the superior.
The Ki-200s cannons have a higher velocity, the only REAL thing separating the two aircraft but it makes a big difference.
Also dont grind the Yak 15s they're ****
So is the FAA line minus the Hurricane
And the 162
and the Kitsuka
Those are all ****

ileikplanes (05/19/2015) [-] It is most certainly the looks that make the plane, no doubt about that. It could be a 500hp engine block with some wings and a prop stuck to the front of it with nothing but a spud gun but as long as it's got a pretty sweet finish then it's top of the list for me.

elcreepo (05/20/2015) [-] You forget, they have America.
Japan is tiny because it exists in America's shadow- which is why Japan still exists as an independent nation despite living right on the edge of a country like China.
**** with Japan, **** with America. Russia hasn't done **** about the islands they both claim because America is there, watching carefully. Of course it's a stalemate because America doesn't want to get in bed with russia and what America wants, Japan must deal with. But that's a different story.

oplu (05/19/2015) [-] The Japanese SDF is one of the best equipped non-aggressive armies in the world, and Article 9 only stops them from having a standing army, or engaging in aggressive war.
Also, I can't remember for certain, but I'm fairly sure Russia and Japan never went to war during WWII.

magictheg (05/19/2015) [-] The US and Japan also have a Treaty of Mutual Defense and Security treaty. The treaty established that any attack against Japan or the United States perpetrated within Japanese territorial administration would be dangerous to the respective countries' own peace and safety. It requires both countries to act to meet the common danger.
Basically a Russian invasion/declaration of war on Japan would kick-start the Third World War

jettom (05/19/2015) [-] The Japanese invaded parts of Russia between 1900 and the start of the world war. They even sacked just about the entire Russian Pacific fleet at an attack quite alike that of Pearl Harbour and occupied and settled Hokkaido simply so the Russians couldn't.
So sure, they didn't go to war during World War 2,(or they did, but that was in the last week of the Japanese surrender) but the Japanese-Soviet relations were pretty much strained. Especially considering the Japs invaded China in the middle of the Chinese communist revolt, basically denying Russia an ally in China until the end of World War 2 as China had their hands full fighting the Japs.

SognaVetr (05/19/2015) [-] Japan first didn't plan to accept defeat after the two nuclear bombs. It was only after it was clear that Russia would land in Japan sooner than the US could that they decided to surrender to the US because they rather lose from the US than be occupied by communists.

xplosevdiarrhea (05/20/2015) [-] Russia though? I've yet to be afraid of any enemy the US has had, but a war with Russia and I'd consider leaving the northern hemisphere. I think both sides don't want that to happen, so I imagine neither country would attack an ally of the other. Russia v US is a scary ass concept. I'd say we'd absolutely defend Japan against any other country, but less absolutely if it is Russia. We'd have to think long and hard about that one.

misterbluecoat (05/20/2015) [-] I don't think Russia has a fleet capable of getting through the Seventh fleet we have positioned next to Japan. They have numbers but their overall low quality in equipment and that would probably be the deciding factor here.

Not to mention the permanent U.S airbases in Japan along with a slew of carrier-based air squadrons that typically cruise and dock in that region...so there's always that.

legnak ONLINE (05/19/2015) [-] The Tsar Bomba detonated at 11:32 (Moscow time) on October 30, 1961, over the Mityushikha Bay nuclear testing range (Sukhoy Nos Zone C), north of the Arctic Circle over the Novaya Zemlya archipelago in the Arctic Sea. The bomb was dropped from an altitude of 10.5 kilometres (6.5 mi); it was designed to detonate at a height of 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) over the land surface (4.2 kilometres (2.6 mi) over sea level) by barometric sensors

alstorp (05/19/2015) [-] "To limit fallout, the third stage and possibly the second stage had a lead tamper instead of a uranium-238 fusion tamper (which greatly amplifies the reaction by fissioning uranium atoms with fast neutrons from the fusion reaction). This eliminated fast fission by the fusion-stage neutrons, so that approximately 97% of the total energy resulted from fusion alone (as such, it was one of the "cleanest" nuclear bombs ever created, generating a very low amount of fallout relative to its yield). There was a strong incentive for this modification since most of the fallout from a test of the bomb would have ended up on populated Soviet territory."
They still have the capabilities to produce the bomb again obviously, and they most likely already have, multiple times.

TLDR: They have been fighting over Kuril Islands like forever( and they still are fighting over them) and japan has been, and is very, very anti-russia ( 72% of japans population view russia unfavorably). The current politic view in japan is, (to my best knowledge) that russia "robbed" the Kuril Islands in early 1900 century without declaration of war so they should be the ones to apologize to japanese and offer peace treaty.
Hope this helps

jettom (05/19/2015) [-] They would not.
"But the Japanese army is so bad"
The Japanese army is the American army. They have a Defence pact that pretty much says that if ANY country occupies Japanese ground America will enter the war on the side of the Japanese. TL;DR attacking Japan is attacking America.
And before you say "Well there's no guarantee they'll follow up on this." There is. Japans importance to America and the western world as a whole is just about second to America and China only. What's more, Japan owes an astonishing 10 Trillion USD. In comparison, USA owes 13 Trillion USD. What this means is that SHOULD Japan enter a war/be occupied, the people Japan owes its money to would never receive it. Which would result in hell a lot of lobbying in order to get it back.
But the most important pact is that America has to defend Japan. If they fail to do so, ANY country they've demilitarilized and said "We will act as your Defence" will burn their treaties and begin to grow their own army. I mean, if USA wont act on it when the Japanese, their biggest business partner in the world (as China = US relations are rather cold) is invaded by Russia, a country most Americans utterly despise, why the hell would they act if Libya was invaded by Egypt? Not saying they have a similiar treaty with Libya, but you get the idea.

jettom (05/19/2015) [-] That I can agree with. IF Japan attacks Russia their deals will be made void and Russia will invade, as long as Putin is in power.
But IF Russia invades America will step in and probably split Russia between the European part and the Asian part, like they did with Korea.
TL;DR whoever attacks loses so they should just go sign a ******* peace treaty. But under Shinzo Abe Japan wont do it, and I don't see Putin itching to sign peace and do a formal apology either..

Japan was the first on Western nation (power) to defeat a Western power in a full blown war and it shook the world at that time.
