{rollo}Yes, it looks like the M1A1 Abrams, but maybe just a coincidence. The Mitsubishi type 90 tank was developed since the mid 70's, being ready for testing just in 1982, and in 1990 begins the first production ordered. That was what we can call a long project.
The main gun is exactly the same weapon mounted in the Leopard2, M1A1 and M1A2 Abrams, manufactured under license in Japan. It's an excellent weapon of 120 mm, with an automatic loader. As the Type 74 MBT, the suspension is adjustable, enabling the vehicle for a ground clearance from 200-600 mm . Standard Equipment includes fully stabilised main armament, passive night vision system, NBC system, computerised fire control system, and dozer blade mounting points located in the front hull.
