Vehicles and Weapons
The aircraft used in the anime span from the 1950s to the present day. All spacecraft are fictional.
Most aircraft are from the Cold War era, retrofitted with modern powerplants, avionics and flight control systems. The anime demonstrates well a hypothetical joint-use of American, European, Soviet and Japanese technologies for the common goal of shooting down meteor debris and protecting the Earth.
