[About the Ground Self-Defense Force Type 10 tank]
――The state-of-the-art tank of the Ground Self-Defense Force, which was officially adopted in 2010 by making full use of the latest technology, is the Type 10 (Hitomaru Shiki) tank.
--The main gun is equipped with a domestic 44 caliber 120mm smoothbore gun. It is said to boast a 100-shot accuracy against a moving target even while driving in an S-shaped slalom due to the improved performance of the fire control system, automatic tracking function, and gun stabilizer.
--In addition, a system called C4I (Command Control Communication Computer and Intelligence) has been introduced to enable battles in which each unit cooperates.
――The power unit is a compactly finished V8 diesel turbo engine with an output of 1,200 horsepower.
--Combined with a stepless automatic speed change steering machine, it achieves excellent mobility.
-The suspension is a total hydropneumatic suspension that can control the attitude of the vehicle body back and forth, left and right, and up and down.
--In addition, modular armor is used for the turret, etc. to improve defense and operability, enabling quick trailer transportation for deployment throughout Japan.
--Unit deployment began in 2012, and it is scheduled to be deployed in sequence with the Type 74 tank while advancing operation and crew training.
