Matsimus Gaming talks Japanese Type 10 MBT.

This guy's video series is rather enjoyable.  Like many I simply made note of the Type 10 but never dug into the rationale of the vehicle.  Never really thought about why the Japanese would have the Type 90 and the Type 10 in service together, much less why the Type 74 remains in service (remained?).

But if a quick and dirty history wasn't enough of an eye opener the weight of the vehicle did.  Around 50 tons?  Uh wow!

Definitely need to dig into this vehicle.  More interesting than I thought.  Maybe I've been looking West for too long and need to look East a bit more!
