TYPE 90 KYU-MARU MBT

$10,000,000 (Price subject to change based on volume)​

The Type-90 MBT is one of the most advanced tanks on the market in 1996, one of the first tanks to utilize an auto loading feature. The tank possesses advanced command and control networking software, allowing for the highest levels of coordination between Type-90s and between Type-90s and other forces. Finally, the Type-90 makes use of hydroneumatics allowing the tank to “kneel” and bank backwards, allowing for far more range of fire than most tanks.

Due to these advanced features, this tank is one of the most expensive.
