JGSDF Type-25 SPAAG
Just a thought experiment as the successor to the Type-87 SPAAG “Guntank”
Type 90s on parade in Tokyo, October 31st, 1993.
The Type 90 is Japan's third tank produced after World War II. Due to concerns about the T-72, the Japanese Self Defense Forces' (JSDF) High Command sought a new design to supplement its current main battle tank (MBT) at the time, the Type 74. Work on the new vehicle, named TK-X, was carried out by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and the Japanese Technology Research and Development Institute. It uses a 120mm smoothbore gun, and is equipped with a 1,500 hp diesel engine. The gun is autoloaded, meaning reloading the main gun is done by a machine, and can be done in as little as a few seconds, impressive given the size of the shells!
