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.
