Guaranteed the optimal performance of Japan’s flagship tanks with thorough maintenance work in Hokkaido
Jitose, Japan – Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) is carrying out a thorough maintenance and maintenance program for 10 main tanks in a specialized facility located in Jitose, Hokkaido. This initiative aims to restore the tanks with its original performance and extend the lifespan after many years of severe operation.

Known as ‘maintenance and repair’, this process is an important intervention that is performed at the middle of the lifetime. Tanks and other orbital vehicles are operated for decades under extreme conditions, requiring complete decomposition, detailed inspection and structural restoration.
The photo released by MHI shows that the 10 tank turret turrets are being examined in the dedicated inspection area. Highly trained technicians use three -dimensional coordinate meters and non -destructive testing equipment to detect micro cracks and fatigue traces that cannot be detected by the naked eye.
Jitose Facility is a core center of Japan’s national level for this maintenance work, and dozens of vehicles are in stock at military units across the country. This work is carried out under strict quality control and includes a series of standardized procedures such as careful decomposition, professional welding, rescue restoration, engine and transmission test, and full inspection of turrets and body systems.
The 10 tanks, which have been in operation since 2012, are the latest tanks in Japan, and are designed for operations on the mountainous terrain. The tank, which has modular gloves, network -centered combat skills, and 120mm of domestic, is the backbone of Japanese land power. But MHI emphasizes that continuous maintenance and technical updates are essential to maintain this strategic advantage.
Through this program, Japan maintains the latest military vehicles at the highest efficiency and is strengthening the preparation of the Self -Defense Force to respond to the rapidly changing regional challenges.
