Perhaps not. Type 10 tanks are required to have equal or better protection than Type 90 tanks, and in fact the total weight of the composite armor is heavier than that of Type 90 tanks. The weight reduction is not a reduction in armor but improved armor materials, a smaller chassis and correspondingly reduced armor protection envelope, and optional lower body and side armor. With the upper body and turret front armor probably providing more protection than the Type 90.
@@beko_h4 The irony of the Type 10's myth regarding 'lighter equals less armor' is that it is often attributed solely to this tank, disregarding other tanks in its weight class such as the T-80U or T-90, which weigh approximately 45 tons, similar to the Type 10's 44 tons when additional armor is not installed.
@@i_nameless_i-jgsdf but soviet/russian tanks rely on ERA which is much more weight efficient compared to passive armor, also they are physically smaller, thats how they are saving weight. Tho I don't agree that Type 10 protection values are overexaggerated.
@@mushokueien8148 In that case, it would be expected that Soviet tanks would have even less effective protection, as ERA bricks are not as reliable as composite armor. Additionally, ERA loses effectiveness after being hit, making it a one-time defense mechanism. On the other hand, the Type 10 employs lightweight modular composite armor, offering more dependable protection. Coupled with its miniaturized high-powered engine and compact size, being the same dimensions as the Type 74, it's understandable why the Type 10 weighs only 44 tons without sacrificing protection.
i was loocking everywhere to see inside Hitomaru thanx now i can rest knowing how it loocks :D
3:01 that vertical guidance speed... I wish we had that in War Thunder
お疲れ様です､迫力ある映像をありがとうございます
Now we wait till a JGSDF tank commander leak classified documents about type 10...
One day I'll get around to making the tamiya kit of it.
thank you so much. so many usefull info

Gunner, Sabot, Tank!
They didn't show how the autoloading mechanism works. Disappointing..
After watching this again, I realise something, does Type 10 and even 90 have AC or NBC Protection?
Not sure about the air conditioner but all Japanese tanks have NBC protection since the Type 74.
だいぶ年期はいってるな
По-моему тип90 более бронированный и защищённый!
