Japanese aerial photography enthusiasts recently took pictures of Japanese P-1 anti-submarine patrol aircraft mounted with anti-ship missiles for testing near the Atsugi base. A total of 4 huge test bombs were mounted under the wings of both sides of the P-1 anti-submarine aircraft, demonstrating its powerful mounting capabilities.

The P-1 anti-submarine aircraft is a new type of equipment used by Japan to replace the US-made P-3C anti-submarine patrol aircraft. Compared with the propeller-powered P-3C anti-submarine patrol aircraft, the P-1 is equipped with four domestic F7 high-power turbofan engines. Great improvement in flight performance.
