[The Ground Self-Defense Force's new type 10 main battle tank is now available!]
The Ground Self-Defense Force's newest main battle tank, the Type 10 tank, was created based on cutting-edge combat capabilities and the basic tactical concept of the Self-Defense Forces, which has changed significantly. Marushiki) tank. Type 10 refers to equipment that was officially adopted in 2010, and is the fourth generation of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force's domestically produced main battle tanks, following Types 61, 74, and 90. Deployment of units began in 2012, and currently operations and crew training are proceeding mainly in units around Fuji, and it is scheduled to be deployed in succession to replace Type 74 tanks that have reached the end of their useful life. In order to be deployed and operated throughout the country, the vehicle body has been made smaller and lighter, while its firepower, mobility, and defense power have been significantly improved compared to conventional tanks. Up until now, the Type 90 tank weighed approximately 50 tons, so domestic transport routes were limited, and the turret and body had to be separated to be mounted on a regular transporter. In contrast, the 44-ton Type 10 tank could be loaded onto a transporter by removing its removable modular armor, achieving high strategic mobility. Its biggest feature is the introduction of the C4I network system, which allows multiple vehicles to engage in coordinated combat, allowing related units to perform actions that deepen their cooperation. In addition, due to its excellent fire control system and semi-active suspension, it is expected to provide great tactical striking power in land battles due to its ability to accurately fire during intense movement. The combination of a smaller engine and new transmission provides excellent maneuverability. The Type 10 tank is attracting a lot of attention as an innovative main battle tank.
