I have a question.
In 1984, Japan began preparing for the import of 120mm L/44 guns and ammunition from Rheinmetall for the second prototype of the Type 90 tank, and in 1985 it was decided to purchase the guns and ammunition. In this case, is it possible to import guns and ammunition separately?
According to the opinion that Japan used the DM33 for testing of the Type 90 tank,
Japan purchased the prototype DM33 (definitely nonsense)
At the time of the 1985 contract, Japan agreed to deliver the DM33 in 1987 through consultation with Rheinmetall.
Type 90 tank uses the DM33, DM33 would have been delivered and used in 1987 for FCS testing.
But is this possible?
here is the timeline.
