The Type 60 Self-Propelled Anti-Tank Gun (SPAT) evolved from an early 1950s requirement for the Japanese Self Defense Forces. Emphasis on DEFENSE. During the Korean War, the United States encouraged Japan to form a military force to defend the island nation. The most likely threat in any conventional war was an amphibious or airborne force landing to secure the various straits connecting Russian or Chinese harbors to the Pacific sea-lanes. As such, the Japanese needed a highly mobile force to contain a moderately armored opponent. Requirements called for light-weight vehicles capable of rapid transport by train. Doctrine stressed ambush type tactics to contain then throw back enemy invasions. Concurrent projects pursued a main battle tank and a self-propelled anti-tank weapon optimized for Japanese requirements. Both projects proceeded with some deliberation through the 1950s.
