Newest model of Type 16 MCV

The type 16 mobile combat vehicle is a wheeled armored vehicle of the Ground Self-Defense Force, which has been procured in 2016 and is being deployed nationwide. Equipped with a domestically produced 105 mm cannon with excellent accuracy, it can achieve a maximum speed of approximately 100 km/h thanks to its eight large-diameter tires. It has increased its presence as a cornerstone of the Rapid Response Regiment, which rushes quickly in case of emergency. In addition, the Type 16 mobile combat vehicle has undergone various modifications during mass production based on the opinions of the personnel who actually operated it. Among them, the vehicle manufactured with the budget of 2020, which is the fifth year from the start of procurement, is called C5. A major feature is the air conditioning unit at the rear of the turret, which has been installed since the previous generation C4. In addition, for the first time, the C5 is equipped with a towing winch for quick recovery of immobilized vehicles.
