A Mitsubishi Ki-21 of the 61st Hiko Sentai, 9th Hiko Dan, at Nomonhan. These domestically produced bombers suited Japanese military philosophies of the time and came to be preferred over the Fiat. They were fast and could evade interception. The Japanese claimed no losses, but there are Soviet photos of a shot down Ki-21. (Artwork by Luca Canossa)
