Yamatano Y-95F (UMASGSF) Ultra-Maneuverable Air Superiority Ground Strike Fighter
Overview
The Yamatano Y-95F is Japan’s fifth-generation ultra-maneuverable air superiority ground strike fighter. Featuring an inverted-wing layout with forward canards, it excels in high-alpha maneuvering, dogfighting, and precision ground strikes. Its single multirole configuration allows it to dominate both the skies and the battlefield with one versatile airframe.

Pilots have nicknamed it based on its livery: the top view is the “Sword of Flowers” 🌸, while the underside carries the “Kawaii Kunai” 🔪 motif, reflecting its elegant aesthetics and lethal performance.

Design & Features
Inverted Wing + Canards: Exceptional agility and control at extreme angles of attack, relying purely on aerodynamic design rather than thrust vectoring.

Nose-Mounted Air Intakes: Positioned for maximal airflow, improving engine efficiency and sustained high-speed performance.

Stealth Shaping: Angular surfaces and internal weapon bays reduce radar signature.

Twin High-Thrust Engines: Optimized for sustained supersonic flight, providing excellent acceleration and energy retention.

Advanced Avionics: Integrated radar, IRST, and electronic warfare systems for multirole dominance.

Armament
Internal Cannon: High-rate cannon with 1,000 rounds, capable of extended air-to-air or strafing missions.

Missiles: Medium- and short-range air-to-air missiles housed internally.

Air-to-Ground Weapons: Precision-guided bombs and missiles for both hardened and mobile targets.

Notes
The dual-livery design is a signature feature, earning admiration from JSDF personnel and aviation enthusiasts.

Nose-mounted intakes allow for maximum engine performance during high-speed flight and aggressive maneuvers.

Maneuverability is achieved entirely through airframe design and pilot skill — the aircraft requires precise handling, especially during high-alpha or tight turns.

The Y-95F’s single multirole configuration balances air superiority and ground-strike capabilities in one versatile platform.
