In the summer of 1939, 11 prototypes of the Ki-51 were transferred to pilots in China and underwent tests that ended at the end of the same year. Aircraft of this type were intended for reconnaissance and tactical attack aircraft, and many of them were equipped with film cameras. At the end of the war, they were used as kamikaze planes. By the end of June 1945, about 2,385 copies of this type were produced.
