Type 60 Antitank Vehicle
Notes:
This Japanese vehicle is a tank destroyer version of the Type 60 armored
personnel carrier. In this version
there is a launcher for the Type 64 MAT antitank missile on either side of the
rear deck by the large troop hatch.
Instead of passengers, the vehicle carries a small crew and ammunition for the
missile launchers.
Power is
provided by a Mitsubishi 8 HA 21 WT turbocharged diesel developing 230
horsepower, coupled to a manual transmission.
The hull is of all-welded steel.
Suspension consists of conventional torsion bars, with three out of the
five roadwheels on each side having shock absorbers.
The Type 60 is not amphibious.
The bow machinegun is retained, and normally manned by the commander. The
relatively small fighting compartment at the rear is accessed by two large
hatches in the rear face, and the rear deck has a large 2-piece hatch opening to
the left and right.
