Nike J

NIKE J was the name for the Japanese version of the Nike Hercules surface-to-air missile.

It was produced by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.

First test firings of the missile occurred in November 1970.

The Nike J was also a different version of the usual Nike Hercules, in that way, that it could not be mated with a special (nuclear) warhead.
