Hi Justo,

It is very interesting. But I can't find any information of Ohka in Singapore yet.
If we can find that info, the project seems to be real.

Thanks for Pics and Info Justo

how many versions of the Ohka exist ?!

 

[ryusuke]

Yes, it is written as "numerous Oka 11's, in the Singapore area" in USAAF 1946 report.
But there is no information in Japanese, backing up the fact there were Oka 11 in
Singapore area (as far as I know). If someone has it, please tell me.
How Oka 11's were transported to Singapore? By which unit and to which unit?
Could USAAF team find Oka 11 in Singapore?

There was also a heat homing boat ?
Maybe a heat homing SHINYO demolition boat ?

Many greetings

Hi moin1900,

It was not Shinyo, but army project.
It was "Ke souchi tsuki Nikuhaku Kogekitei"(Close attack boat with Ke-device).
The development started in the middle of 1944, and the war ended before the
first prototype was completed.
