Tankers of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces have implemented the experience of the Russian Armed Forces and began to equip their tanks with special "Mangals" for protection against drones. As reported, the Japanese Type 90 and Type 10 tanks received the "Mangal" protection against drones. It is worth noting that the protection installed on the Japanese tanks is symbolic, it is capable of protecting only the roof of the tank turret. The design does not protect the tank from being hit by an FPV drone. The Type 90 tank was adopted by Japan in 1992, and production of the tanks was completed in 2012. The Type 10 tank was adopted in 2012. It is planned that over time, the Type 10 tank will replace the outdated Type 74 tanks and complement the fleet of Type 90 tanks. Both tanks are equipped with a 120 mm gun, but the Type 10 tank has an automatic loader and a high degree of automation.
