Named the Type 10 as it is the 10th attempt in a series to make a modern MBT.

Armed with an auto-loading, 140mm L45, smooth-bore main gun, as well as two 12.7mm machine guns; one coaxial and one on the commander's cupola. It carries 30 rounds in the auto-loader, which is located in the turret bustle. Should the ammunition cook-off, blow-out panels will redirect the explosion out the roof of the vehicle, away from the crew compartment. The bustle may be reloaded manually from a large hatch on the turret roof should the need arise. The gun has +15, -5 elevation, and must return to neutral position to reload.

Crew consists of a Commander, Gunner, and Driver. The Gunner may choose between one of three optics. Two are analog: one is in line with the gun to allow the gunner to check for obstacles that may be blocking the gun that the main scope can't see. The primary optic can been seen on the top left (viewer's left looking at the front of the vehicle) of the turret. Above the gun is the third digital optic. The Commander has a separate digital optic mounted on the turret roof, capable of 360 degree rotation, which may independently range a target; the gunner may at the click of a button automatically slew the turret to the targeting solution found by the Commander's rangefinder. This, in theory, allows the tank to quickly engage multiple targets. Targeting data combines information from a laser rangefinder, as well as a wind/humidity sensor on the rear of the turret.

Armor protection is primarily modular composite sections attached to a RHS body. There is technically room for 800mm of frontal armor on the hull, and 1000mm of frontal armor on the turret (550mm in the modular block, and then another 500mm on the base vehicle). The blocks on the sides of the turret are 350mm thick. However, due to the classified nature of composites, I am mainly going off of what I've read with the modern Arjun tank and its composite thicknesses. Additional protection includes ERA blocks, and a laser-detection/dazzler/smoke launching system along the same lines as the Russian Shtora system. For protection against landmines, the vehicle uses both an external Hydrogas suspension and a V-hull. Should a suspension unit be damaged, one simply has to unbolt it from the hull and bolt on a new unit; no complex replacement of torsion bars necessary.

The engine compartment was designed to fit an engine of the same size as the Leopard 2's MTU MB 873 Ka-501 liquid-cooled V-12 Twin-turbo diesel engine (1,500 PS (1,479 hp, 1,103 kW) at 2,600 rpm). Fuel capacity unknown; it may be able to fit a little over 900 liters of fuel internally, and has the ability to carry two fuel drums on the rear.
