The url was incorrectly typed. The above is the correct link.
For anyone who can’t/won’t access X:
Japan has test fired its Type-19 155mm Self-Propelled Gun in the UK using the Vulcano 155GLR shell from Italy-based Leonardo.
Japan had previously received an initial batch of these shells in late 2024 and is not [sic] validating the Type-19’s capability to fire it without issue.
The Type-19, a 155mm SPG based on the RMMV HX-2 will replace the towed FH-70 in Japanese service.

I am suprised that the Type 90 and Type 10 with anti-drone protection were not posted in this thread yet.

Such a shame JGSDF never shows the upgraded armor package of the Type 10 (the 48 ton one). Do we even have any info on that? I know it likely includes the enhanced driver protection, but does it also upgrade the sides, or maybe top with the use of ERA?
Do we even know if it exists at this point
Yes, it’s specifically mentioned in documents. There is a doc out there showing a drawing with weight simulators matching the mass and shape of Armor package III for the Type 16 that was originally only known about in a similar way to the 48t armor package
There is absolutely some document somewhere showing the 48t armor for the Type 10, but without knowing the name of the doc, we have no way of requesting it or knowing if it’s still restricted.

I heard that the Type 16 MCV can be equipped with explosive reactive armor, and I have also seen real vehicle pictures (unfortunately, I haven’t found the source of the pictures now). But I think merely attaching explosive reactive armor is not enough for it to be competent for the 10.3 BR. Perhaps it is still advisable to consider adding the vehicles of the Thai Army to the Japanese technology tree. The VT4 tank can be provided to China as an advanced vehicle
Personally I’d also hope they still consider Indonesia alongside Thailand especially for this role, since Thailand also still lacks a top tier light tank for the top tier lineup. The Stingray is a very interesting tank, but would likely not be any more capable than the Type 16 already is.
The Indonesian Pandur FSV could be an interesting option for the top tier lineup with more modern shells and a faster reload compared to what the Type 16 has in game.
