The Type 60 is a tank destroyer of Japanese origin. It is an unusual vehicle and the last dedicated tank destroyer in use that was built around recoilless rifles.

The Type 60 has an unusual design. The two recoilless rifles and commander's compartment in the middle can be raised, providing a better elevation, traverse and firing height. The driver is seated on the left and the loader on the right of the weapons compartment. The engine is mounted at the rear and the drive train at the front.

Armament consists of two 106mm M40 recoilless rifles, designated Type 60 in Japan. The effective range is 1.1 km versus vehicles, with a slant range up to 7 km. A 12.7mm ranging machine gun is used to improve targeting.

The steel armor protects the crew from small arms fire and shell splinters. No NBC system or smoke grenade launchers are fitted. When reloading the weapons the loader must exit the vehicle and reload the weapons from the outside.

The tracked chassis provides a reasonable all terrain capability. The maximum speed and power to weight ratio are rather limited. A Komatsu 120 hp diesel engine provides propulsion.

As with most Japanese weapon systems developed after World War 2 the Type 60 was not exported. The sole user of the Type 60 was Japan. It was gradually replaced by guided anti-tank missiles until in the late 2000's it was out of service.
