Planes have four types of cameras вЂ• short-distance, long-distance, infrared and panoramic. The RF-4 is notable for its camouflage fuselages, which come in three patterns to match JapanвЂ™s land and surrounding sea areas. The ASDF first introduced the fighter in the mid-1970s and currently has 13 in operation. It can fly at Mach 2.2, or more than twice the speed of sound. The RF-4 is based on the F-4 fighter developed by the United States. Reconnaissance is essential to combat,вЂќ said Yuzuru Asakura, the groupвЂ™s commander. вЂњTactics are decided based on information obtained from reconnaissance, and results are confirmed the same way. With a single large photograph of the ground, members of the unit and others then used magnifying glasses to search for one-millimetre-square targets one after another. After the film came out of the developing machine, they moved it millimetre by millimetre to align and connect it. They then took the film into a darkroom on the base, where another unit member was waiting to develop it.

The crew of an RF-4 removed film from underneath the planeвЂ™s fuselage after returning to the Hyakuri Air Base from a recent training run. вЂњThe times are changing to favour fighting styles that emphasise speed,вЂќ a senior ASDF officer said. This analogue style is being replaced by cutting-edge reconnaissance aircraft that use digital technology and are often unmanned.
