About this vehicle

The Type 63 project was an independent development by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to improve firepower and armor while maintaining high mobility. The main innovation was the design of the turret with an oscillating isolated central armament compartment, at the rear of which the autoloader was located. Work on the project was discontinued at the stage of configurational concepts and turret patents.
