Type 74 The Type 74 ( 74式戦車 " nana - yon - shiki - sensha " ) is a main battle tank ( MBT ) of the Japan Ground Self - Defense Force ( JGSDF ) . It was built by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries as a replacement for the earlier Type 61 . It was based on the best features of a number of contemporary designs , placing it in the same class as the US M60 or German Leopard 1 . Like these designs , it mounts the Royal Ordnance L7 105 mm gun . The design did not enter widespread use until 1980 , by which point other western forces were starting the introduction of much more capable designs . History . The JGSDF started studies on a new tank design with Mitsubishi in 1962 , as it was realized that the Type 61 would not be able to defeat the latest Soviet designs like the T - 62 . Features from several designs were incorporated , including the controllable suspension of the MBT - 70 , the rolled steel hull of the Leopard 1 , and the L7 105mm gun . Features unique to the design included a rotating cupola for the commander , and a new autoloader for the main gun . The design was finalized in 1964 and various test rigs were built between 1964 and 1967 . The first prototype , designated STB - 1 , was delivered in late 1968 and underwent a number of modifications until 1969 . The autoloader proved too complex and expensive , and was removed , additionally the remote controlled anti - aircraft machine gun was removed . The design of the turret was also changed , becoming longer . These changes resulted in the STB - 3 , which was delivered in 1971 . The final prototype designated STB - 6 was delivered in 1973 . Production finally started as the Type 74 in September 1975 , with 225 being delivered by January 1980 . Production ended in 1989 , with total production running to 893 examples . In service , the tanks were updated with the addition of infra - red imagers ( not image intensifiers ) for the commander and gunner , and a laser rangefinder in the commander ' s cupola . The gunner ' s position included a digital fire control computer , fed range data from the commander ' s range finder . Rounds for the main gun were upgraded from HEP to APFSDS and HEAT - MP . The Type 74 was generally outdated even before it entered service . The Type 90 was to have replaced it outright , but with the ending of the Cold War these plans were scaled back . In 1993 four Type 74 ' s were improved to the new Type 74 Kai ( 改 ) [ Type 74 mod G ( G型 ) ] standard , adding a passive infrared camera , side skirts , and so on . The upgrade proved to be extremely expensive , and the program was dropped . Variants . Rear view . Front view . * Type 74 first mod ( 74式戦車 初期生産型 ) Operators . Japan - 893 produced between September 1975 and 1989 , with 225 being delivered by January 1980 . 822 in service in 1990 , 870 in service in 1995 and 2000 , 700 in service in 2006 .
