Heisei Series[]
Godzilla vs. Biollante[]
A Mitsubishi F-15J in Godzilla vs. Biollante
Although Godzilla had successfully been injected with the Anti Nuclear Energy Bacteria, he seemed unaffected and began to menace a nuclear power plant at Wakasa Bay. The M6000 T.C. System and several MBT-92 Maser Cannons had also been placed there, and the J.S.D.F. enacted their plan to increase Godzilla's body temperature so the ANEB could take effect. The F15-Js were deployed to repel him alongside a fleet of AH-1 Cobras, but Godzilla ignored the military assault in his unceasing march towards the power plant. Suddenly, Biollante returned from space in a new form, obliterating most of the J.S.D.F.'s ground forces and forcing the jets and helicopters to retreat.

Godzilla vs. Megaguirus[]
Several Mistubishi F-15Js in Godzilla vs. Megaguirus
As the Dimension Tide drifted above Earth, the J.A.S.D.F. flew the F-15Js in tandem with the GX-813 Griffon over the Pacific Ocean. Attempting to lure Godzilla towards the small island of Kiganjima, so that the Dimension Tide could defeat the monster for good, the F-15Js fired upon the ocean, forcing the angered beast to surface. The Griffon fired its Photon missiles at Godzilla, and the jets fired their infrared and RADAR missiles in tandem. Unfortunately, the jets were shot down by Godzilla's atomic breath, but the Griffon flew on, and continued to drive Godzilla further through the blue waters.
