The TK-X or Type 10 is the latest Japanese development.
It entered service in 2012 and currently it is one of the most advanced main battle tanks in the world.
This new lightweight MBT is more agile, however less protected than contemporary tanks.
It is armed with a 120-mm smoothbore gun, broadly similar to that of the Leopard 2A5 and M1A2 Abrams. It also has advanced fire control system.
This tank has great mobility due to it's impressive power-to-weight ratio, Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) and state-of-the-art hydropneumatic suspension.
This tank is not available for export customers as far as Japan's laws do not allow export of military equipment.
And what's more is that's a Mitsubishi!Image may be NSFW.
