CATDOLL: CCTV report was wrong: Japan's Self-Defense Forces are equipped with Gundam?

On June 30, CCTV broadcast a current affairs commentary program "Today's Focus". When introducing the information of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, the program producers used "Gundam" as the background picture. For a time, the audience complained: The Japanese Self-Defense Forces are equipped with Gundams! This Gundam model is "RX-78-2", which is the first Gundam that appears in the Japanese anime "Mobile Suit Gundam 0079". Netizens complained that it is usually a very serious program, why is there a Gundam in the picture? How could CCTV make such a mistake?

According to Guancha.com, the image of the Gundam shown in the CCTV program was taken from the Nissin Foods Instant Noodles Gundam episode. It is reported that the model of this Gundam is "RX-78-2", which is the first Gundam to appear in the Japanese anime "Mobile Suit Gundam 0079". This original Gundam was driven by Amuro by chance. It is the second machine of the RX-78 series in the V plan. It is also a participant in the first MS war in the history of GUNDAM. It created miraculous results in the middle and late stages of the One Year War and was called the "White Devil" by the Zeon pilots. This Gundam is also called the "strongest" Gundam in the series, but it was destroyed in the battle with the MSN-02 Zeon driven by Char in the Battle of A-Bawa-Ku.
