Type-90 MBT (STC)

Type-90

The Third-Generation Type 90 Kyū-maru (90式戦車 Kyū-maru-shiki-sensha) was developed to match the western power's most up-to-date Main Battle Tanks, namely the American M1 Abrams, and the German Leopard 2. It would bolster the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force's armored units as they phased out the Type 61, and reduced the number of operational Type 74s.
The Type 90's design process started right after the Type 74 entered service, with the first specifications drawn up in 1980. Before that, it was thought the T-72 was equal if not superior to the Type 74 in some areas. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, the backbone of Japanese Tank design, joined forces with the TRDI (Japan Defense Agency's Technology Research and Development Institute) to design the TK-X MBT, which was later tested in 1976-1977. Other subcontractors joined the process, including Japan Steel Works, Daikin Industries, Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu, and NEC.
