-The Ground Self-Defense Force is referring to the formation of the United States Army's troops from the background of its formation, and that tendency was particularly pronounced until the 1970s.
-Due to the fact that the US Army has the strongest air force in the world, anti-aircraft equipment in the Army was poor compared to other countries, and there were very few opportunities for anti-aircraft combat during actual wars and conflicts.
-For this reason, anti-aircraft equipment is not so important even in the Ground Self-Defense Force, it was only equipped with an anti-aircraft missile [Hawk] for medium range and an anti-aircraft machine gun [Oerlikon L-90] for short range. ..
-It seems that this is also the result of considering the US military aircraft force based on the Japan-US Security Treaty.
-However, from a geological perspective during the Cold War, Japan was at the forefront after South Korea, and northern regions such as Hokkaido were within the range of Soviet military aircraft.

-However, due to the rapid development of electronic devices since then, the Ground Self-Defense Force started to improve [Type 81 short-range ground-to-air guided missile] in 1989, and combined infrared/visible light image homing method light wave bullets and active radio wave homing. [Type 81 short-range surface-to-air guided missile (C)] that uses two types of radio missiles of the method appeared in 1995, whereas the conventional type was commonly called [short SAM], but this improvement The type is called [Short SAM Kai].
