he Type 87 SPAAG (self-propelled anti-aircraft gun) is a Japanese air defense weapon built around the Oerlikon 35 mm twin cannon system used on the Gepard tank. The system uses a modified Type 74 tank chassis.
As the JSDF began to seek a replacement for the M42 Duster SPAAGs provided by the United States, the Japanese Defense Agency began to issue requirements for the production of a local SPAAG unit to replace the M42. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries had been eventually awarded the contract to produce a SPAAG unit to replace its old M42s
It had been developed in 1987, given the Type 87 designation status, with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries providing the chassis and Japan Steel Works providing the cannon system. Initially, the chassis of the Type 61 tank would be used. Later, it had been rejected and had the chassis of the Type 74 tank used instead as a basis for producing the Type 87 SPAAG.
Prior to its development, tests had begun underway in 1982 with a prototype SPAAG unit manufactured in 1983.

Type 93 Surface-to-air missile
The Type 93 Surface-to-Air Missile (93ồẳố'ốãộ>Âồoồắỗâốê~ồZồẳắ) is a surface to air missile used by the Japanese Self-Defense Forces. It is the vehicle-born version of the Type 91 missile.[1][2]
It''''s known in JSDF ranks as the Closed Arrow
It was first deployed in 1993, due to a need to replace L-90 35mm Anti-Aircraft Twin Cannons in JGSDF service.[2] It is typically deployed on a modified launcher Koukidousha (military version Toyota Mega Cruiser) with a total of 8 missiles ready to fire
The Type 93 is a vast improvement over the L-90 as it has the ability to track down and shoot down enemy aircraft thanks to infrared homing on its system
