Quick Glance: Japan to Convert Cargo Planes into Rocket Launchers
  • Japan may use the Rapid Dragon system or a similar domestically-developed system on its C-130 cargo planes.

  • Using palletized munitions can significantly improve accuracy.

  • Palletized munitions can also serve as area-denial weapons and enable new operational concepts.

  • A palletized munition nuclear delivery system would require little or no training for pilots and could be superior to NATO's model of pre-positioned nuclear weapons.
