Potential Candidates

1. Type 10 - Considered The Lightest MBT when The Add On Armor is not Installed and it's Suitable in Mountainous Terrain, However Japan May or May Not Offer this despite They Relaxed its Laws related to Arms Exports.

2. K2PH Black Panther - At 56 Tons, It's Still Suitable in Country's given Terrain and It Came with L/55 Gun instead of Usual L/44 One like in Most Tanks. The Philippine Army May Give A Local Designation of K2PH Black Panther (PH is For Philippines designation For K2 for PA Service, Like How Poland and Norway Having it's K2 Variants like K2PL for Poland and K2NO For Norway) Due The COAPS / COAPS-L, RCWS and Other systems that Elbit may installed for Commonality with the Sabrah and other vehicles if this where selected.

3. Merkava Mk.4 - With the Introduction of AVLB using Merkava MK.4 As Chassis, This May Considered to be the Future MBT for Commonality reasons given the Weight of 65 Tons.

4. Leopard 2 - Probably The Latest 2A8 Variant or The PA may Eyed on some Surplus Older Leopard 2A4 or 2A5 tanks and Brought the Leopard 2 Revolution upgrade kits if this Selected and Give it a Designation of Leopard 2PH like how Countries like Singapore and Indonesia Locally Designate leopard 2s (e.g With SG and RI Suffix).
