Miscellaneous Info: |
The Maneuver Combat Vehicle (MCV) was
designed by the Japanese Ministry of Defense-Technical Research and
Development Institute. The MCV was developed as a lightweight,
highly mobile tank destroyer which could replace some of the Main Battle
Tanks of the Japanese Ground Self Defense Force. The MCV is
air-transportable and can be landed on shore via amphibious support
craft. As of 2015, only four (4) prototype vehicles
have been built, but the projected number when full production is
completed will be approximately 200-300. |
