History: The Type 10 was officially commissioned in 2010 as Japan’s most advanced main battle tank, developed to replace and supplement the ageing Type 74 and Type 90 tanks. Built for rapid deployment and adaptability, it features a lightweight design for improved mobility across Japan’s varied terrain. Its modular armour allows for rapid upgrades or repairs in the field, while the advanced fire control system ensures accurate target engagement. The integration of the C4I system places the Type 10 at the forefront of network-centric warfare, enhancing coordination with other ground and air units.
