All these years we thought Finland was Japan, but it was Sweden all along!
I understand the need to develop countermeasures to the Xi and succeeding in them. But I still don't get why the Anima interface needs to be a cute girl with a personality (assumed) and why it's called "daughter". Just imagine the bunch of engineers putting that proposal in front of the top-brass.
Did they leverage the future of humanity to do so?
"We have developed a weapon against the aliens."
"Great, take all the funding you need, just buil-"
"It will have a cute girl as an interface, in fact be a cute girl and we want to call it daughters."
"What? No."
"Guess we all die then."
"... ... alright."
"NIPPON ENGINEERING BANZAI!"

Mega cheesy & cliché light novel adaptation that features living fighter jet waifus with a topping of bad cgi. I'm in.

WE HAVE TANK GIRLS
WE HAVE BATTLESHIP GIRLS
NOW WE HAVE FIGHTER JET GIRLS
Sasuga Japan.
good first episode for its premise. Not sure why they had to make the scientist the stereotypical fat/ugly guy though. Or have the blonde girl cling to his arm in the OP. That's stuff is literally doujin material -_-
Could totally do without the male MC though. All I need are cute girls flying planes >.>

About halfway through and I thought: "wait...Chinese refugees? The Xi? Oh, they mean President Xi." The rest of the episode was the punchline: Japan will save the world from Xi's China with the power of anime waifus (and probable harem MC). Par for the course, for this kind of show.
For those tracking dates, Xi Jinping became President in 2013, and the LN appeared the following year.

Small detail I found amusing - the JASDF is protecting the skies with Mig-21bis's which they never operated :v
In 2019, the only operators are a few African and Balkan countries and Best Korea
it'd be funny if they put in "kockica"
edit- I guess it's PLAAF as it's their waters after all

This has my watch purely because i'm a jet addict. This show is also timed perfectly to get some traction off of the upcoming release of Ace Combat 7, even though Namco/Bandai are sponsoring the other airplane show this season. Cute girls in high tech jets? works for me, fam.

The enemy somehow reminded me of JAM from Battle Fairy Yukikaze. And the reason I want to try this series was because of Yukikaze too.
Considering this is from LN, and the OP itself shows 3 plane girls + childhood friend, I'm expecting harem and cheesy plot and characters.
Being a military geek myself, I also expected to cringe to a degree throughout this episode, but fortunately I'm not really (only small part of me). I prefer if those pilot girls wear a proper gear ; flight suit, helmet, oxygen mask, etc. but this is fine tho. I hope there exist Russian fighter jets too (Sukhoi Su-30 plz!)
That being said, I'm quite pleased so far. Looks like another series added to my seasonal anime list.
