I don't know the tank that Shinobu is holding, nor the assault rifle that Kondou is holding.

The plane is a Northrop F-89 Scorpion, not a Shooting Star.

Not the one in the center, the one in the lower left.

That is a Mitsubishi Type 89 IFV from the late 1980s.

(Took an hour or so to find that.)

So weird to have it be another Type 89...and still about useless in a tank verse tank fight.

Oh, now it makes sense. The theme is all things numbered 89.

The Type 89 IFV can be considered a forward scout, somewhat like the Bradley IFVs.
