The MXY-7 Okha (Cherry blossom) was designed by Ensign Mitsuo Ohta to be dropped from heavier aircraft and target allied ships in a suicide dive.the Okha would be released within range of its target and would use a combination of gliding and three rocket boosters to reach its target. The bomb used to be detonated by a trigger in the form of a switch present at the tip of the nose. This example was bought to India by the No. 4 squadron which was stationed in Japan after the war.
