The Type 10 Tank (10式戦車,   Hitomaru-shiki Sensha) is a next-generation main battle tank (MBT) of the JSDF, produced by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. It has appeared in multiple Toho kaiju films, beginning with Shin Godzilla in 2016.

History

Reiwa era

Shin Godzilla

After Godzilla emerged in his towering fourth form at Sagami Bay near Kamakura and began to advance through the city on a course towards Tokyo, the JGSDF mobilized its forces, which included Type 10 Tanks, to attack him. The Type 10s led the attack, firing on Godzilla and using their cannons to shoot at the giant kaiju, but Godzilla kept moving forward, eventually causing chaos once he arrived at the JGSDF's field headquarters and began to march straight through it. Once the dust cleared, most of the tanks were wrecked as Godzilla merely walked through them. In the panic that ensued, several of the remaining tanks crashed into each other, becoming immobilized. With no opposition left, the creature continued its approach to Tokyo after passing through the JSDF's defense line.

Shin Ultraman

After Gomess emerged from a mine in the Japanese countryside and began rampaging through the surrounding mountains, he was met by a detachment of Type 10 Tanks of the JGSDF, which swiftly killed him by firing a volley of shells at the monster.

Godzilla vs. Gigan Rex

As a Gigan Miles massacred a squadron of JSDF F-35 fighter jets in the skies above, a tank battalion fired upon another cyborg to little effect. It returned fire with its forehead laser, destroying them. Still another monster skewered a pair of tanks on one of its claws.
