All in response really to the fact China’s starting to be a little off kitter and North Korea still likes to make noise (and not say what they did to the people they kidnapped from the Japanese).

They’re as militarized as Sweden and Norway to be honest. Japan and South Korea are regional powers more scared of China’s growing ambitions for territory (something shared by other nations, notably Vietnam and the Philippines), and worry about America’s inability to be an effective counterweight.

And I doubt Japan in the near future would do anything like it. Even with the ‘reinterpretation’ of Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution (the famous/infamous denial of the use of conflict/force to settle disputes, or in short, wage war), the Japanese people, even the more hawkish of their populace right now, wouldn’t take too kindly to revisiting the militaristic fervor of the 1910s-1940s.

That said this can devolve into a lecture, so I’ll leave it at that.

Well aside from the fact that they are completely different tanks developed by two completely different nations. The Type 90 MBT is generally smaller and lighter (by a whole 10 tons) than the Leo 2, with a weaker engine, so it is slightly slower than the Leo 2 but with better acceleration to a better hp/ton ratio. The Type 90 uses the Rheinmetall L/44 gun like the earlier variants of the Leo 2, except that the Type 90 L/44 has an autoloading feature that allows it to only need 3 crew members. Armor should be roughly equivalent though it’s hard to find numbers for the Type-90 compared to the Leo 2. All together, they perform similarly enough, but there are a number of key features that differentiate them.
