For the Japanese OBAT:

#ありがとう74式戦車

As of today, March 31st, 2024, the retirement of all Type 74 tanks should now be completed nationwide

[The final Type 74s are expected to be withdrawn from service in March this year].

The Type 74, which has served with the GSDF for 50 years, holds the record as the longest-serving tank in Japanese history! Now, they can finally take their well-deserved rest.

Goodbye my all time favorite 2nd gen MBT, It might be gone, but it will not be forgotten, just like those that came before it.
