The Mitsubishi Type 10 is Japan's main battle tank, and with all its firepower and advanced technologies, this is a vehicle that will probably stick around for a long time.

The Type 10 MBT has a typical combat weight of 44 tonnes, although it can be stripped down to 40 tonnes for improved transportability via road, rail, or sea.

Japan’s Technical Research and Development Institute, the research and development arm of the Ministry of Defense, began developing the fourth-generation Type 10 main battle tank in 2002.

The Type 10 tank debuted in 2008, weighing 44 tons and carrying a 120-millimeter main gun. The tank has a three-man crew, with the gun serviced by an autoloader.
