On the claims about the special steel used, they're not bullsh!tting. I was part of a team which procured several thousand tonnes of high grade pipe from Nippon Steel in Kimitsu, and the grade was unique to that steelworks, no comparison with conventional API grades I am familiar with. When I viewed the tensile and charpy test results, the numbers were so far above what was required it was ridiculous. The special (secret) smelting and tempering process was specifically focussed on the micro crystal structure, and that's all I could get out of them. The material certs were themselves "vague" as to what was going on metallurgically also. This was very advanced sh!t.

Super impressive tank, typical Japanese product. I've been to Japan several times, and can tell you the terrain is TERRIBLE for tanks. Like you said, mountains, dense forrests and lots and lots of rivers and lakes. In many forested areas of the world you have an interesting phenomena (from a Tanker's perspective) , in that if the trees are densly packed, they're usually small emough to be pushed over and flattened. If the trees are too big, then they're widely enough spaced to allow you through between them. The myth that tanks can't move through forrests allowed the Germans to gain surprise through the Ardennes twice in WW2. But in Japan, whole different ball game, the bloody bamboo forrests and other types are so densly packed you'd not get any kind of anything through them. A D9 bulldozer might do it.

this would be perfect for central and south Italy as well. the C1 Ariete the contemporary Type 90, was built with weight saving in mind but ended up being too heavy anyway. This new medium tank would perfectly complement the new Centauro line being suitable for narrow mountain roads and bridges. Anyway I always thought the "Modern" MBT is getting too overweight for anything different then a large scale flat open tank battle and small size and mobility could easily become a plus for logistics and fast redeployment.

Type-10 MBT is fast and it can drift. In words, *Initial* *T* (ank) 🤔🤔🤔 (EUROBEAT)

Id disagree about suspension, ability to lower a tank for 30-40cm and lower its silhouette and whole tank as a target is of most importance for its survivability and detection! And adjusting gun elevation for more than 1 meter up and down then standard can really be handy on mountainous region and for trespassing difficult terrain that suspension will be god sent :)

I'm sorry to tell you but as someone who spent 11 yrs in the US army (2000-2011) with 2 tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan, the overwhelming majority of countries don't need tanks with this kind of suspension system. First off it is two expensive and would end up meaning a lot more maintaince and is another thing that can break. Also the benefits of it is at best minimum! With the optics and sensors on other tanks and aircraft, having a low profile tank means NOTHING. I'm sorry but just because you lowered your tank a foot isn't going to make it any harder to see or hit. What makes a tank good is its fire control system, armor and speed. A tank has to be able to spot its enemy, be able to hit/destroy it, be able to take hits and lastly be able to quickly relocate from one position to the next. Everything else is bonus.

Wow! I've never before been so amazed watching a tank drive in reverse. Regarding the hydraulic suspension and its usefulness, the Swedish STRV style tanks make fantastic use of such a system by allowing them to engage from behind very steep terrain with minimal exposure to the enemy, and to an extent this is an effect that western MBT's in general try to achieve by having good gun depression and turret-centric armor schemes. Of course the terrain as you say will dictate whether or not it's worth it based on a particular military's needs, but it's nonetheless a highly desirable feature save for the added cost! Think of it as giving your tank twice or maybe 3x the gun depression it would normally have, crazy right!

Awesome! Keep up the good work man!!!

Well thought design. Keeping weight and size down and relying on advanced materials is a good way to pack value together in compact battle space. Using technology to defeat those pesky missiles is a key defence. Good channel👍🏻👍🏻

Original doctrine is derived from Japanese geophysical environment. Transportability, ambushing and find first & kill first. Data fusion is key capability. Taking an account of the background that basic technologies such as stabilizing of mechanics, fire control got matured it is not surprising this system was realized at this occasion. Looks extrapolation of Leclerc technology (Enhanced C3I (inter-human fusion) -> M2M level fusion), but requirements by Japanese army are a little bit different from those by French army.

Love your vidoes

That suspension would actually help a great deal in parts of the US. And it would surely be a difference maker if the US ever has to come to the defence of a treaty ally in South America, fortunately Japan is also a treaty ally of the US, so should such an unfortunate event come to pass there is a good chance that these tanks will be there.

Is the suspension active in the sense that when the vehicle is on the move it reads the terrain ahead and actuators move the road wheels to create an ultra-smooth ride? If so would it therefore augment stabilisation of the main gun?

Japan has been implementing adjustable hydraulic suspension in their tanks since the Type 74.

I've never watched a military vehicle video and had _Low Rider_ pop into my head...until now.

Could this type of mini MBT be a possible replacement for the Challenger 2? Or could that Cv90 chassis you love Matsimus be a contender with a 120mm on it? Just wondering as I crossed a video regarding the future after Ch2.

I like it. But do they have a more compact model? I'm looking for one that I can park in my garage.

any kawai considerations while designing the tank?

Could you add the type 16 MCV to the list of videos to be made?

Type 10's armor is confirmed resistant to Type 10 AP at 250m: This document outlines the testing method used for measuring ballistic resistance, it outlines the methodology used for measuring striking velocity of 120mm shells. 「25mmAPDS から120mmAPDSFS までの中口径から大口径弾丸の場合，撃速測定点は供試体前方 20 m から 40 m，線的等を使用する場合の検速的間距離は 20 m から 40m，砲から供試体までの距離は 200 m の位置で行ってきた。また，中口径から大口径弾丸の場合，銃砲から供試体の間に多数のスカイスクリーンを配置して，各区間における平均弾速を算出し，最小二乗法によって供試体表面での撃速を算出する方法も行われてきた。」 Basically for 25mm - 120mm ballistics tests, the firing rig is placed 200m away, the measuring equipment is set up 20m (likely medium calibers) to 40m (used for high calibers) away from the target. www.mod.go.jp/atla/nds/Z/Z0012B.pdf So in the case of the Type 10, the target and firing rig were 200m apart and the propellant was reduced to simulate an extra 50m. So 100% confirmed it's resistant to Type 10 APFSDS at 250m.

That is not how slat armor works, it does not activates the HEAT round prematurely. It lets the fuse in front of it pass by while cutting/deforming the wider warhead, so when the fuse finally hits the armor the warhead itself is either disabled or a lot less effective.

These things are amazing! Near perfect an MBT for closer urban stuff,

Approximate effective armor thicknesses are often given for modern main battle tanks, but are there any sources that tell the actual thickness of the armor (for that matter, do you happen to know)? Or would givng away true values like that, even without material composition, reveal too much and thus is kept classified?

Cool little tank

Can you make an overview on the type 99 - chinese tank?

it's the mix of elements that enable the steel to form a nanocrystaline matrix locking the steel together tighter. right? Nemo.

10:08 the ghost of stridvagn 103 still lives on.

All metals form crystals as they cool. If you look at some chain link fences you can see crystals on the poles quite easily, big blobs of differing color. These large crystals are a material defect, then smaller the crystals are the stronger the material will be, nanocrystals probably means the largest crystals in any given sample are on the order of nanometers, which is quite small.

Could somebody tell me how this armour compares to the M1A2's depleted uranium or the Challenger's Dorchester?

its an incredible tank to be sure. but expense is probably going to be her main weakness and limit her numbers. though the added mobility will likely negate the issue of numbers as it can "hit and run" better than most tanks to keep themselves safe. I don't think it will fully replace the type 74 however due to the numbers issue. I think some local defense forces will keep them but perhaps reduce the numbers active to around 350 and compliment with around 150 of the type 10.

This would be perfect for Italian environment: we couldn't buy the Leopard 2 because of it's weight prevented on mountain infrastructures and created problems for transport in the islands and we ended up with indigenous design, which unfortunately bloated in weight almost up to the levels of the other MBT. Tank like this built with advanced composites could bring the weight back under control and allow use for bridges, narrow urban streets, rail and mountain roads.

Suspension is interesting - somewhat similar to some of the Swedish turretless tanks/tank destroyers.

watching it throw rooster tails while sprinting around the track is cool.

The Merkavas also share info and communicate with other tanks, infantry, air force and etc. "tzayad" battle management system

Agreed, it appears to have the same suspension system as the S Korean K(2)? Cool, but I suspect it may be one of the reasons it costs so much, the K costs loads also.

Excellent video as always. Just to add on with the info about the tank the Japanese are reducing the number of MBT in the country in favor of a more rapid deployment strategy (considering they're more concerned about Chinese activities near the southern islands than Russian activities up north). Which is why they're fazing out the type 74 and but not replacing the type 90. Instead they're favoring buying the maneuver combat vehicle (while possibly reducing the procurement of the type 10) to achieve their rapid response.

Now in 2023 (and last year 2022) i wonder if they're reconsidering this.

I remember Japanese saying that the side skirt was a full on armor that can protect the track from attacks. Turned out it was just a thin metal sheet. But this tank fits for Japan's need and for Japan that's the most important bit.

You should do a video on the Puma infantry fighting vehicle.

According to various documents and descriptions in a Google Search "nanocrystalline" steel is a very highly purified steel alloy that has been hardened and tempered to extremely high hardness all the way through (circa-600+ Brinell Hardness Number or Rockwell "C" Hardness Scale upper-60s). Thus, it is extremely brittle, but, if merely put under a more gradual force, extremely resistant to bending or denting. So you would use it as a form of reinforcement in a laminated armor structure, only being used on the outer face if the projectiles expected are capable of being shattered by such impacts, spreading their force over a wider area and thus lowering their penetration ability. If this is not so (HEAT rounds, for example), then you keep the hard steel layers well inside the armor with ceramics and such in front of and behind the steel so that the steel can use its extreme strength to hold the armor together and the other layers do the actual resisting of the armor to the impacting weapon. This is the modern version of the arguments for when to use face-hardened versus homogeneous, ductile armors in warship protection of battleships in the late-19th and first half of the 20th Centuries.

Lessons learned from the lack of strategic mobility of the German Tiger 1 and Tiger 2 tanks. Makes sense to adapt to your specific needs when strategic mobility is a real challenge.

Had the Germans just go straight to the Panther rather than wasting on Tigers, the Brits would've make a lot of the Centurions for D-Day and T-44 would be built in tens of thousands. Who knows if the Germans manage to deploy the E series before 1945.

Hmm yes, this Continuously variable transmission thing sounds very interesting. I am going to look up CBT. I sure hope nothing weird and wacky comes up

very good

How in the hell did I miss this one..?!? I have been living in Japan since 1998, and indeed there are very few places where the terrain would permit a sizeable tank force to operate. The terrain is much more conducive for smaller sized units to fight a defensive war of attrition from ambush positions against an invading force, since Japan has very few places that would allow for a Battle of Kursk/Desert Storm type of massive tank battle. I couldn't/can't stand watching you and SBCav have all the fun, so I armed my Visa, flipped off the safety, and pulled the trigger on ordering SB 4.0!! I should be getting my dingle...dangle..ding-a-ling...whatever the damn thing is called, in the mail this week. The wait is killing me...!

The nano-crystal steel is a sort of "foam" or little cage structure made of composites and the "void" is filled with steel... Some nano-crystals are known to be 100% stonger than RHS for 100% lighter ! There are metal-metal crystals and composite metal crystals, but your get the idea ! A sort of structural nanometric "foam" filled with another steel of composite

I very much like this tank; I think that it's the most attractive looking tank I've ever seen in a very long time. I'm also glad that Japan has opted for an auto loader in a manned turret as opposed to thr unmanned turret path chosen by the Armata. It's nice to know that the Mk - 1 Eyeball system will still be available when the sensors glitch or go down. The only major drawback I can see is, because of it's smaller size, there will be less 10 mm ammo stored aboard, whether it be SABOT and/or HE. As for it's cost and limited availability' I think that has more to do with the fact that Japan spends a very small percentage of it's GDP on the military as compared with countries like Russia, America, China, or een South Korea. Degree of supply or rarity will always affect the final cost.
