Interesting choice Alfa

I read somewhere the type 90 was the most expensive tank in the world at one time due to Its limited production. they also seem to spend a lot to keep there armoured force up to date

Not sure about the capability's of the type 74 should make for some interesting reading.

I suppose they also have to take him into consideration. LoL
