The Truth About Japan's New Type-10 Tank 

They already have a lot of that industry at home, given the production of cars and trucks that occurs in Japan. This is just leveraging off that native capability.

It's certainly great -- if you can afford it. It's also a long-term issue, as you have to ask, once you've gotten this skilled workforce, what happens if defense priorities change? Like that star free agent who leaves your organization for a rival's, if you can't afford to keep the tank builders occupied, who will be recruiting them?

Japan is one of the most skilled industrial nations, and we need to help them gear it up again.

Their build quality would be second to none or at least as good as any nato

Unlike Israel, Japanese tanks focus on direct tank warfare. Most of the country is mountainous and covered with trees, and annual precipitation, including snowfall, is enormous. Because of this, Japanese rivers flow extremely fast, and there are many bridges to cross them, so the invasion routes are very limited. For these reasons, land defense in mainland Japan is based on ambush tactics using concealed tanks. This is fatal to the Merkava, whose heat-source engines are located in the front. Even if the vehicle body, which is the heat source, is concealed, the angle of fire is limited by the angle of elevation and tilt, so a mechanism to control the posture of the vehicle itself is inevitably required. The Merkava is undoubtedly an excellent tank. However, it is not suitable for the Japanese operational concept of tanks.

Modern MBTs are too heavy for much of the infrastructure in most countries, including the US. There are many American roads and bridges the Abrams cannot use.

@@saulshennan6825 That as well but more importantly japan is heavily mountainous, and have basically no flat land unlike Europe. And even if there was to be flat land it would be preoccupied by cities and towns, meaning that tanks fighting in japan will be 100% going through mountainous terrain. All modern MBT apart from the type 10 would not be able to make it through such environment.

@@HappyGM-R There's more level rural land in Japan than many people assume. It's approx. 75 percent mountainous, and the built up (urban) areas are massive, but there's still open country.

@@saulshennan6825 You make it sound like 75% isn’t much, but that is the highest percentage among the developed nations. For comparison China is only 33%, Russia 25% ish, USA 20%, most of Europe below 10%. There are only handful of nations above japan in terms of how mountainous their land is, Switzerland and Nepal for example.

@@HappyGM-R Where did I say it isn't much? I said it's 75%. But 25% of Japan isn't mountainous. Many other countries have much less flat ground. Japan is not unique in this respect. People always roll out the Teen Tank Expert tropes about Japanese infrastructure being unable to support heavy tanks while ignoring the fact the same is true in every country on Earth.

Tiny crystals allow for a higher hardness while keeping a desirable toughness (as tested with CVN tests).

Making the steel harder, does this make it more brittle?

They've repurposed their legendary sword smithing abilities to forging armor. Awesome!

@@briancavanagh7048 That's the point of why it's supposed to be special, having increased hardness without becoming brittle.

@@briancavanagh7048 I dont believe so. Used similar in making a blade. Normally its how many blades does one belt make. With the "powered iron" its how many belts does it take to make one blade. If I remember the lecture its powdered by the molten "standard" steel mix being sprayed through a tiny nozzle into a chamber. As the molten steel is ejected the chamber temperature rapidly cools the grains form. Smaller the injection port and faster the cooling the smaller the grains. (or as I recall). Then you take this dust and forge that into a billet. As the temperature for forging is not melting the steel has a lot of tiny crystals that interlock rather that larger metal crystals in molten steel. Weakness of steel is between the crystal faces. But this is all from faulty memory.

Which is funny that is the doctrine adopted. They suffered in WWII over lack of fuel supplies so I would have thought they go for doctrines that enable limited resource situation. All it takes it restriction to sea or air supply and they would dwindle.

Well, if you have the third biggest economy in the world you can afford things like that. Why should a country with so many financial resources and a Tier 1 industry NOT be capable of developing and building an own tank?

It's Mitsubishi, they already made a number of large 20+ litre engines for their Fuso range. It's not a huge engineering challenge to leverage that to create a tank engine if you toss out the requirement of low fuel consumption in favor of massive power.

Answer: japan… not some third world country. If i trust my Japanese car i trust their weaponised tech

@@wedgeantilles8575 It's less a question of capability, but rather one of being worth the effort from a financial standpoint. Tank engines have little civilian application, so it is a major investment for what is ultimately an engine with limited sales potential given Japans restrictions on export weapons sales.

Mitsubishi builds alot of vehicles. Everything from lawnmowers, to cars, to fighter jets, to massive cargo ships.

Well technically being an island country, I think their first line of defense is the navy

성능에 비해 너무 비싸. 일본방산의 문제점.

The K2 does NOT have better performance than the Type 10. It has the same forward speed, a significantly slower reverse speed, the same power/weight ratio, a less versatile transmission, only slightly more horsepower (which is offset by its greater mass), and a smaller operational range. Also, the K2's main cannon is similar to the 120mm Rheinmetall cannon that the JDF rejected. That said, Taiwan might still want to go for the K2 rather than the Type 10, since Japan's strict arms export laws would make acquiring the Type 10 very difficult.

@@Jurk844 1) There is a lot more to a tank's performance than how big its gun is. 2) The Type 10 fires specially designed ammunition that is more capable than the equivalent NATO-standard ammunition, which makes up for the lower caliber.

​@@stephenwells6434Citation needed since the Japanese 120mm l/44 has similar performance to the rheinmetal 120mm l/55 guns. There really is only a 30 meter per sec difference between apfsds velocities on the main guns. Plus the Type 10 Apfsds has 36 milimeters less pentration performance than nato DM 53 at 500 metres. So i have no idea how one could say the only Domestically designed round on the Type 10 the Apfsds is somehow by default better than anything NATO has.

@@scantrontheimmortal 1) The L/44 is not used on the Type 10, making that comparison moot. 2) Japan has not published the stats on the Type 10's armour penetration, so the reliability of your source is highly suspect. 3) What the JDF has said is that the Type 10 round has similar penetration to the DM53. They also claim that the round is better at penetrating reactive armour (though that isn't much of an issue for any NATO 120mm round, to be honest). 4) The Type 10 can fire any NATO standard 120mm rounds. How those rounds perform when fired by the Type 10 is unclear.

Japan actually has very poor quality steel that why they had to refine and fold their steel swords so many times. I always laugh when I hear someone mention "High Quality Japanese steel as if its a Great quality" They do Have Excellent Manufacturing process though as they have to to use their poor quality steel.

@@AlbertoMartinez765 any country can make CPM steel, even from poor ingredients, it just costs more to do. There would be additional refining steps. Japan having bad ingredients hundreds of years ago is irrelevant to the modern day. And in modern days we can just use recycled scrap metal as the initial ingredient.

From what I've read this is similar to CPM. The idea being better homogeneity throughout the billet, along with greater control of martensite crystal precipitation during heat treat.

U can make crucible steel in your back yard with iron, bone ash, clay, and hand made bellows. Rare hi quality swords were made this way as far back as the 8 or 900’s a.d. “Ulfberht” was a popular maker - who’s mark was often counterfeited because people could t figure out how he was making “iron” swords what were not break brittle, and therefore would not break when struck too hard, but flex, making a whipping sound when swung, the metal obviously being what we know as steel. Steel is just iron + carbon. A crucible was the easiest way to heat the materials to proper temp. Maybe the only way back then, I don’t know. But I’m sure whatever Japan is doing to create steel in 2023 that has qualities no one else can match, is far from making steel in a crucible.

I believe it’s actually the exact same concept.

I would never put a few grunts with ATGM's that has no top-attack capabilities. A side attack means you need to be close enough to easily get killed by their grunts. Mark 10 is not Russian T-72 that goes unsupported toward the frontlines let alone in the number of 3.

*OF COURSE it needs side armour & top armour* After watching what's happened in Ukraine they will grasp this. It may well be they already did but are keeping schtum 🤐 Beyond that - just so. An effective tank is not just a defensive asset - You can have much cheaper artillery options for that. The value of a tank is its verasatility *including* its offensive capability [But then, Mr Cappy esquire did point out Tank warfare is a new area for the JDF)

@@Farweasel Yeah, I was also perplexed by his reasoning. The main function of a tank is for offensive / active defense. For simple static defense, one could order something cheaper.

@@useodyseeorbitchute9450 Im guessing Japan sees their defence, especially against China as an 'all or nothing' deal, so tanks are a mobile force to oppose landings, having the advantage of not needing proper static positions that can be mapped by enemy in advance, but enough punch and armour to go head to head against anything landing, if that fails Japan knows it has nowhere to fallback to, so a very limited role in a movement sense other than getting to location needed fast. Also sounds like they are waiting for their active defence to reach readiness rather than adding more armour to sides/top, which may be a smarter long term move depending on how far they are from finishing it.

@@Farweasel I dont think any tank is able to take on an additional armor on top of the turret. It's a large surface to cover. Type 10 seem to have an up-armoring option. Aplique set of sorts. It's nice to look at fast agile tank when it flexes on training grouds. But the reality is called "battle ready" - an ad-on armor is placed. Means tank gets 2 to 6 tonnes heavier. Very expensive but for now single solution is the "hard-kill" Active Protection System like Trophy or Iron Fist. Other option rarely mentioned yet effective (if it was serviced and works) is the APS of "soft-kill" type. On the PT-91 tank it formed a set of systems. Starting from automatic pop of the smoke screen when the laser radiation detection system is triggered, e.g. with a rangefinder. Obviously its not a regular smoke. Another effective system is the gunshot direction and distance detection. In this case, the grenade fired from the bank is not a smoke, but a combat grenade against manpower. Notice how many launchers this tank has on the turret. Now you know why he has so much. Not many ppl know that meticulousness and economy in the disposal of the tank's weight resembles that of the aviation industry. It's not like a certain type of tank can take on some extra unforeseen 2 tons of weight without affecting the capability or durability of the structure. The PT-91 is wider, packed with stuff and more heavily armored, and the more powerful Polish engine is barely enough to make up for the loss of mobility.

@@mrvwbug4423 I am not sure but I highly doubt that our M1A2SEPV3 would use a L55 because of the DU rounds (M829A series up to 4) has limitations on speed. To have the penetration level (some test rounds have close to 1000mm penetration into armor) and the self-sharpening characteristics of Depleted Uranium rounds, the sabots cannot travel too fast (like from a L55 barrel) as it would shatter instead of penetrating and boring through ERA armor. The DU rounds needs to be fired from L44 for maximum effectiveness. It is not all about the length gentlemen... it is what you do with it~ LOL.
