Why did kamikaze missions pose such a threat to Allied forces?

⚑ Flag

Kamikaze missions were dangerous to the Allied forces because they were surprise attacks by men who were not afraid to lose their lives for their country.

Imagine hundreds of 1000 pound pieces of metal flying into your milllion dollar aircraft carriers...also it is a major moral killer if while you are trying to rally your troops to fight against an enemy that enemy flies right into your base crashing killing some, injurying others, and causing a lot of damage.

They were suicide pilots and very unpredictable at times.  Also, they crashed into aircraft and carriers, so they caused plenty of damage to the Allied Naval forces.

Kamikaze missions involved crashing airplanes loaded with explosives into important Allied ships (like the aircraft carriers). Obviously, each hit was devastating to the target ship, making kamikaze airplanes exceptionally dangerous. Each of these planes was piloted by a person that willed himself to die for his country, making them even more of a threat to Allied forces.
