The Soviet copy of the British 6 ton,the T-26 is better and more reliable,if you raise the bar with theT-26e with 50mm frontal plate it would be more than enough to crush a japaneses armoured formation...alas the T-34/76 andT-34/85 made sure there was no chance.
There are a number of recorded instances where the crap Jap tanks were totally knocked out just by a .50cal machine gun. Very little of Jap materiel was any good. Except for their basic rifle, almost all of their small arms needed oil to feed the bullets effectively. Oil + dust = constant jams. Dumb. The didnt field an automatic rifle or even a submachine gun! Until 1944, all their aircraft had no protected fuel tanks or armoured seats! The only good thing they had was their navy.
They say a tank must compromise between mobility, firepower and protection. This one seems to be the perfect combination of no mobility, no firepower and no protection.
@r8wing its prime was rather ealier than 1941......1935 is its best year... it was rather the russian tanks was modelled on this types in origin...its obsulete date was the later years...... this however....is a support type
Alot of people don't know that the japanese actualy built better tanks at the end of the war but not soon enuff to be used in combat, look up the type 4 chi to. It could take on a sherman with its 75mm gun and had maximun 75mm armor. It was planned to be used to defend the japanes home islands when the americans where planning to invade.
@AUG351 i know a lot about tanks Typ 4 Chi-To and Typ 5 Chi-Ri (a bit like tiger with 88 gun) were excellent tanks. THey also developed HO-RI an TD like Jagdtiger.
@AchseBerlinTokio Yeah, if only they reliesed they could use those at the start of the war where they could have made more and used them throughout the war. They also made a anti tank rocket launcher and a recoiless gun near the end of the war but were never used in combat because they were only made in time to be planned to be used in the invasion of Japan aswell.
Nowadays if the same thing happened, and we call it shit, at least 5 people will whine about how we were believing propaganda and how America is evil and how these are the "best tanks ever you only fight the old versions".
These tanks had 12mm of armor (too thin to stop .50 bullets and even weak against .30-06), a horrible suspension, flimsy construction, poor tracks, an outdated construction, and were lined with asbestos (lol).
Because japanese steel making technology was so underdeveloped, plus with the fact that the japanese were in fact satisfied with it, they could not make good tanks.
"Take cover! Sherman "heavy" tanks are coming!!!!!"
Their tank armors even got penetrated by rifle bullets.
I really like the japaneese tanks, it's a pity so many of them such as the good ones to be never made it past prototype stage so they were stuck with the really light tanks
Was the tank destroyed before it was captured it seems like it is very old and useless??? And recording the video half way the tank have not enough oil and it cant move LOL!
Japanes tanks, although obsolete and weak, were not useless. It has to do a lot with Japan's misuse of tanks. Chinese used some of the Japanese tanks after WW2 in their civil war and they proved to be quite usefull and one general even commented them to be fast and light tank fit for raiding tactics.
@hopatease1 That other American tank it races is not a Sherman, but a variant of what looks like a US M5 Stuart light tank. That sucker sure does haul toward the end of the race as it passes by the camera, beating the Type 95!
this tank was very effective in china and probably in difficult terrains but the japanese didnt expect to fight tank battles because they were on pacific islands with difficult dense jungle terrain by that time during the war it was quite obsolete but a reliable tank in 1935 in china
@8000jk All their tanks that fought against allied armor was from 1930s. However, they fielded newer models from 1940 which proven superior to Allied armor.

You thought losing Khalin Gol would prompt the Japanese to be serious with tank designs. But then again, Imperial Japanese army is heavily factionalized with the Army and Navy often arguing and killing each other over what to be produced...The primitive tank designs clearly tell us which side won the fight.
For a nation that made such quality aircraft and warships they sure put out some pitiful tanks. The Generals never appreciated the need for armor, I suppose the fixation on infantry tactics undermined their development of tanks until far too late.
japanese tanks as a rule werent designed to engage other tanks, they were intended to support te japanese infatry in fight local peasant or poorly trained and equiped warlord armies in china and manchria. the 37mm gun is based on the 37mm french ww1 gun used in the ft-17
Japanese light tanks were beautiful, but lacked armor and protection for the crew. Against the Shermans, it seemed the Shermans were like Tiger Tanks for the Japanese. Japanses should have payed attention for crew protection. Like the zero (in comparison), both had nearly no armor.
Quite interesting. I do have to say seeing that Type 95 go around that field reminded me of an old clockwork tinplate toy. And although apparently the M3 tank was a fairly poor performing combat vehicle, it looked thoroughly modern in design in comparison to the poor Type 95 when they were racing.
@okajima75 its in India alright...eastern India....In the city of kolkota[Calcutta]...at the scene were the tanks race the buiding u see which looks like a palace is called Victoria memorial hall! it is located in Kolkota or calcutta as the west knows it.
@azandhind4eva I was going to guess somewhere in India too after viewing the race segment, with the large palace behind. I was thinking Taj Mahal but obviously there are other buildings that look similar, and now I know! ;) I actually have a picture taken of me in front of the Taj Mahal when I was a baby haha.
@Slovflyer good you never said taj mahal,i would have laughed!:).cause they dont look similar except both r white.Taj mahal is unique!ur memories[picture] came to ur rescue.u probably need to visit the taj mahal now,grown-up,u'd be really sure of how it looks.u see it once it stays in ur mind till death.beauty yet element of simplicity.if ur a tourist in kolkata ud have to visit victoria mem.its got rare paintings/exhibits of times under the raj & Indian royalty.tc!
@Coins4Cheese im sure it's captured, you can see on the moviebords that the cameraman is american, and in the background you can see american vehicles like the wc51 dodge, and the japs were too "proud" to use this vehicles if they were captured.
It's got a shock system which helps tons, We we originally invented that idea for the Sherman but our stubborn government didn't want to adopt it. MISTAKE
This is correctly identified: Ha-Go; or Type 95. Type 97 Chi-Ha was a bigger machine, with six road wheels.
Ha-Go was a light tank, so not much point in comparing with M4 Sherman. Rather in the class of M3 Stuart., but earlier. In 1935, it was not a bad tank at all, with a 37mm gun - but of course by 1945 it was quite obsolete. Compare it with other tanks of 1935!
@lehtorja If you field it you must compare it against what the enemies field. Why compare it to tanks in 1935? Theres actually no point in that. What it has to fight is the important comparison. Even late japanese armor was not much more effective, so I think its a fair comparison.
@IronManOfficialguy - You have a point, of course, if you think of Japanese War with the US. But Japan was in war with China when these tanks first appeared, and for that purpose, they were adequate. But emphasizing air and sea power, the Japanese didn't develop their tanks at all with the same speed as others, so by 1941 (not to mention 1945) they were badly behind their main adversaries.
@IronManOfficialguy The japanese actually began to design and even produce some heavy tanks towards the end of the war. However, these were all allocated to the defense of the home islands and never saw combat. I've looked at the specs of some of these tanks, and they actually seem quite formidible. Its a shame that none saw combat, and that most were dumped into the ocean at the end of the war, for we will never know if Japan finally made a good tank...
@GenralKuribayashi Yeah im aware of these models. Had they been put to use they could have somewhat challenged the sherman. But they still would have been outclassed. Plus it is possible (even though unlikely) that had america invaded the japanese mainland that they would have deployed the new pershing tanks along with the shermans. The japanese were almost always on the defensive after 42. They should have focused production on heavy anti-tank guns/tank destroyers instead of making new tanks.
@GenralKuribayashi No actually there is a at least one Type 3 Chi-Nu left. These never saw combat but were an advanced (well advanced for them) japanese tank. Its in japan and they keep it restored. There is a color photo on the internet just google it.
@IronManOfficialguy yes i was actually aware of that tank's existance, but it was actually designed in 1943. later Japanese tanks were even more advanced (by their standards), namely the Chi-to and Chi-Ri heavy tanks. Both actually reached the production phase.
@88pie88 T-27 was equipped with one machine gun and weighed less than three tons - hardly a match to Ha-Go. BA-10 appeared in 1938. BT-7 is a contemporary of Ha-Go. More mobile, no doubt, and with a somewhat larger calibre gun. It was not a light tank, though, like Ha-Go. Doesn't change the point: when it appeared in 1935, Ha-Go was not an irrelevant light tank. See what the US or German armies possessed at the time, or the British - nothing very impressive, and in very limited numbers.
all japanese tanks were just horrible, 6 japanese tanks knoced out by a two punder in less than 20 min. nuff said. these things were a joke to anybody. they had a shit engine, shit armor, and shit crew. they could only go un agaist, chinese with bolt actions and dao swords. T-27 was 9 tons, had better armor, better gun (45mm) far more accurate and powerful then the out dated Ha go's 37mm gun. these things were just moving metal coffins, no more no less.
@lehtorja what should germany had have better at this time?! it was just in rising again. what the others had was really a shame especially brits the so called: "Fathers of the Tank" loool
@lehtorja yes, but when was it USED? Against a Sherman or M3, it was laughable...even rifle fire could penetrate it, and .50 would chop right through with standard ammo.
@redreaper2020 It was USED in China from 1937 onwards. The Chinese had, for instance, Pz Is. Compared to those, this was a good tank. Just swallow it and forget stereotypes. - It was desperately out of date by the end of the war, as I have said about a million times now. In those days, the Sherman was laughable against Panthers, but that is an irrelevant fact in this discussion.
@lehtorja it was penetratable by rifle fire. This makes it a target, not a tank. At least the thin US tanks either were protected against rifles, or (like the Christie) insanely fast.
@redreaper2020 If it offered no protection, please explain why it was used for years, to support the Japanese advance. Japanese were not idiots. And why do you keep talking about American tanks, which were few in number and nowhere in sight in the 1930's, when the Ha-Go was conquering Asia. Besides, US never fielded one single Christie tank, what is that for a comparison???
@lehtorja america didn't, but the brits used its suspension, and the (very similar) horstmann, as did the Russians with the T-34/34-85/BT2/5/7.
As for the Japanese being idiots...well, they were. They couldn't use armor properly, and if you recall, in the 20s and 30s some very stupid ideas were around (tankettes, A1E1, etc). A slow moving vehicle vulnerable to rifles is only good as a tractor. 3/16in, shown at 6:29, isn't enough to withstand rifle fire.
@redreaper2020 - For idiots equipped with tractors the Japanese did quite well in the early war, conquering half of China and then throwing Brits and Americans out of South-East Asia and half of Pacific with the help of these "tractors". If you think that was a "policing operation" and not combat you are insulting every war veteran of those wars.
@lehtorja considering my grandfather fought in Saipan, I'm pretty sure criticizing their flimsy tanks isn't criticizing veterans. That's offensive.
They "threw out" a very weak garrison force by flanking, tactics, and materiel numbers. China was torn apart already by civil war and was in even worse shape--it had virtually no armor or modern military force. The Japanese won by tactics and by air-naval superiority; it was a naval empire.
And I drive bulldozers with thicker steel. Literally.
that and the fact that this tank is a complete faliur! The Sherman Tank in the Pacific had no problem taken this Tank out with its main Gun. and we're talking about the M4 Sherman Tank, the tank that was perfecr prey for German Tanks!!
it looks to me that the main gun is a small 30MM Gun or so, nothing spectaculiar but thats what you can expect from Japenese Tanks. and You are Sooo true that the tanks suspension is a HUGE failure!
Did this poor small thing meet the Soviet JS-3 in Manchuria bsfore the war ended?Can anyone tell me if there was any armoured battle between the Imperial tanks and the National Chinese Army's German made AFVs/ guns? Unlucky for the National Chinese to obtain AT rifle to deal with lightly armed imperial tanks in Street fighting!
probably not german made equipment. the chinese would likely have used our equipment, if any, due to the poor state of china's economy before the communists took over.
Yeah, they used them to murder Chinese, Viets, Filipinos, Koreans, Formosians. Manchurians, etc. Against American and Russian tanks, subpar but against poorly armed and less technologically advanced Asian nations, they used with cold ruthlessness.
Thank you for putting up with my longwinded spouting. As you know Bessarabian Romanians fought alongside Russians at Mukden and siege of Port Arthur. I hope now for good relations between countries.
Real test of Japanese tanks was never against Yanks in island fighting but against Russia at Kalkan Gol and Nomonhon 1939 . KV tanks were heavier and superbly deployed by Gen. Zhukov to punish Japanese Kwantung Army land forces severely.
This Japanese tank seems inadequate against contemporary American or German hardware. Sad really. The Japanese should not have attacked Pearl Harbor. BTW, wasn't the American M18 Hellcat Tank Destroyer the best tank of WW2 ? It was built by Buick, so it had to have been good....50 MPH + speed faster than an M1A1. Hit and run, drive by tank!
But easily destroyed in groups of Ones & Twos in Guadalcanal, Burma, Tarawa, Iwo Jima & Okinawa...Yamashita had 300 of those tanks in the Philippines in 1944-45, & were easily destroyed by Superior USA firepower...
I have a book about Japanese armor accounts entitled:
The Japanese War Machine...it explains the development up to the battle in Manchuria in 1945 against Soviet T-34s...it says that Japanese Armor are easily destroyed by Soviet T-34s as if it's made of cardboard...
The Soviet copy of the British 6 ton,the T-26 is better and more reliable,if you raise the bar with theT-26e with 50mm frontal plate it would be more than enough to crush a japaneses armoured formation...alas the T-34/76 andT-34/85 made sure there was no chance.

それと明治維新前から鉄道が大陸を横断し、大戦時にはすでに自動車社会となっていた米国や欧州諸国に比べて、日本は大戦当時でもせいぜい鉄道があるだけの遅れた社会だった。
自動車も航空機も欧米では長年にわたって社会のinfrastructureと化した当たり前のものだったが、日本では極珍しいものに過ぎなかった。軍部がどうのというより、日本は欧米に比べれば社会全体が数十年遅れた発展途上国に過ぎず、それが必然的に兵器開発の遅れやある面では優れていても弱点の多い無理のある兵器となって表れた。
加えて第一次大戦を軍や国民全体が肌身で経験しなかったことで時代遅れの軍事思想がそのまま残存してしまった。WWIまでは欧州だって銃剣突撃の精神論が優勢だったんですよ。結局極東の島国では切磋琢磨や外国の理解が進まず、より遅れたAsiaを相手にすることで夜郎自大になっていった。日本式の併合と近代化も欧米がやってきた人種差別的な収奪植民地に比べれば遙かに人道的で先進的だった。それも第一次大戦後は時代遅れになっていっていたのに気づけなかった。

九五式軽戦車 ハ号(type95 Ha-Go)は軽戦車(Light Tank)であって米Shamanや独四号戦車、ソT34のような主力となった中戦車(middle tank)ではありません。一般に想像する第二次大戦のmain tank battleと比較するのは誤りです。軽乗用車と高級な普通乗用車ぐらいの違いがあります。最強戦車と言われるTigerなど重戦車は重機ぐらい高価で頑丈なものだと思ってください。
さらにそれらの戦車が活躍したのは1939ADの第二次大戦が始まってからであるのに対し、九五式軽戦車 ハ号は1935ADの登場です。独で同年に登場したのは二号戦車(Panzer II)で大して変わりません。
独ソは戦間期に密接な軍事的協力関係にあり、どちらも大陸での陸戦を主体としたため、戦車大国として栄えました。日本は想定戦場が海洋沿いや密林であったため戦車の開発優先度は低く、その後の発展がなかったということです。相手が戦車を持ち出してこない支那大陸の戦いでは大いに役に立ったそうですよ。

@azandhind4eva I was going to guess somewhere in India too after viewing the race segment, with the large palace behind. I was thinking Taj Mahal but obviously there are other buildings that look similar, and now I know! ;) I actually have a picture taken of me in front of the Taj Mahal when I was a baby haha.

@Slovflyer good you never said taj mahal,i would have laughed!:).cause they dont look similar except both r white.Taj mahal is unique!ur memories[picture] came to ur rescue.u probably need to visit the taj mahal now,grown-up,u'd be really sure of how it looks.u see it once it stays in ur mind till death.beauty yet element of simplicity.if ur a tourist in kolkata ud have to visit victoria mem.its got rare paintings/exhibits of times under the raj & Indian royalty.tc!

@Coins4Cheese im sure it's captured, you can see on the moviebords that the cameraman is american, and in the background you can see american vehicles like the wc51 dodge, and the japs were too "proud" to use this vehicles if they were captured.

Isn't this a Chi-Ha tank? They were better than Ha-Go
askjiir 2 years ago
This is correctly identified: Ha-Go; or Type 95. Type 97 Chi-Ha was a bigger machine, with six road wheels.
Ha-Go was a light tank, so not much point in comparing with M4 Sherman. Rather in the class of M3 Stuart., but earlier. In 1935, it was not a bad tank at all, with a 37mm gun - but of course by 1945 it was quite obsolete. Compare it with other tanks of 1935!

I thank for the commentary.
okajima75 1 year ago
@lehtorja If you field it you must compare it against what the enemies field. Why compare it to tanks in 1935? Theres actually no point in that. What it has to fight is the important comparison. Even late japanese armor was not much more effective, so I think its a fair comparison.
IronManOfficialguy 1 year ago
@IronManOfficialguy - You have a point, of course, if you think of Japanese War with the US. But Japan was in war with China when these tanks first appeared, and for that purpose, they were adequate. But emphasizing air and sea power, the Japanese didn't develop their tanks at all with the same speed as others, so by 1941 (not to mention 1945) they were badly behind their main adversaries.
lehtorja 1 year ago
@IronManOfficialguy The japanese actually began to design and even produce some heavy tanks towards the end of the war. However, these were all allocated to the defense of the home islands and never saw combat. I've looked at the specs of some of these tanks, and they actually seem quite formidible. Its a shame that none saw combat, and that most were dumped into the ocean at the end of the war, for we will never know if Japan finally made a good tank...
GenralKuribayashi 1 year ago
@GenralKuribayashi Yeah im aware of these models. Had they been put to use they could have somewhat challenged the sherman. But they still would have been outclassed. Plus it is possible (even though unlikely) that had america invaded the japanese mainland that they would have deployed the new pershing tanks along with the shermans. The japanese were almost always on the defensive after 42. They should have focused production on heavy anti-tank guns/tank destroyers instead of making new tanks.
IronManOfficialguy 1 year ago
@IronManOfficialguy Well, we'll never know. Thanks to the Soviets we were forced to destroy these models. *sigh* its really too bad.
GenralKuribayashi 1 year ago
@GenralKuribayashi No actually there is a at least one Type 3 Chi-Nu left. These never saw combat but were an advanced (well advanced for them) japanese tank. Its in japan and they keep it restored. There is a color photo on the internet just google it.
IronManOfficialguy 1 year ago
@IronManOfficialguy yes i was actually aware of that tank's existance, but it was actually designed in 1943. later Japanese tanks were even more advanced (by their standards), namely the Chi-to and Chi-Ri heavy tanks. Both actually reached the production phase.
GenralKuribayashi 1 year ago
@GenralKuribayashi If memory serves the chi-ri never made it past the prototype phase.

@lehtorja dude, the russian t-27 bt-7 and ba-10 tanks raped the shit out of these tanks and the russian tanks were from 1922-1932
88pie88 5 months ago
@88pie88 T-27 was equipped with one machine gun and weighed less than three tons - hardly a match to Ha-Go. BA-10 appeared in 1938. BT-7 is a contemporary of Ha-Go. More mobile, no doubt, and with a somewhat larger calibre gun. It was not a light tank, though, like Ha-Go. Doesn't change the point: when it appeared in 1935, Ha-Go was not an irrelevant light tank. See what the US or German armies possessed at the time, or the British - nothing very impressive, and in very limited numbers.

all japanese tanks were just horrible, 6 japanese tanks knoced out by a two punder in less than 20 min. nuff said. these things were a joke to anybody. they had a shit engine, shit armor, and shit crew. they could only go un agaist, chinese with bolt actions and dao swords. T-27 was 9 tons, had better armor, better gun (45mm) far more accurate and powerful then the out dated Ha go's 37mm gun. these things were just moving metal coffins, no more no less.

@lehtorja yes, but when was it USED? Against a Sherman or M3, it was laughable...even rifle fire could penetrate it, and .50 would chop right through with standard ammo.
redreaper2020 2 months ago
@redreaper2020 It was USED in China from 1937 onwards. The Chinese had, for instance, Pz Is. Compared to those, this was a good tank. Just swallow it and forget stereotypes. - It was desperately out of date by the end of the war, as I have said about a million times now. In those days, the Sherman was laughable against Panthers, but that is an irrelevant fact in this discussion.
lehtorja 2 months ago
@lehtorja it was penetratable by rifle fire. This makes it a target, not a tank. At least the thin US tanks either were protected against rifles, or (like the Christie) insanely fast.
redreaper2020 2 months ago
@redreaper2020 If it offered no protection, please explain why it was used for years, to support the Japanese advance. Japanese were not idiots. And why do you keep talking about American tanks, which were few in number and nowhere in sight in the 1930's, when the Ha-Go was conquering Asia. Besides, US never fielded one single Christie tank, what is that for a comparison???
lehtorja 2 months ago
@lehtorja america didn't, but the brits used its suspension, and the (very similar) horstmann, as did the Russians with the T-34/34-85/BT2/5/7.
As for the Japanese being idiots...well, they were. They couldn't use armor properly, and if you recall, in the 20s and 30s some very stupid ideas were around (tankettes, A1E1, etc). A slow moving vehicle vulnerable to rifles is only good as a tractor. 3/16in, shown at 6:29, isn't enough to withstand rifle fire.
It was good for policing, not combat.
redreaper2020 2 months ago
@redreaper2020 - For idiots equipped with tractors the Japanese did quite well in the early war, conquering half of China and then throwing Brits and Americans out of South-East Asia and half of Pacific with the help of these "tractors". If you think that was a "policing operation" and not combat you are insulting every war veteran of those wars.
lehtorja 2 months ago
@lehtorja considering my grandfather fought in Saipan, I'm pretty sure criticizing their flimsy tanks isn't criticizing veterans. That's offensive.
They "threw out" a very weak garrison force by flanking, tactics, and materiel numbers. China was torn apart already by civil war and was in even worse shape--it had virtually no armor or modern military force. The Japanese won by tactics and by air-naval superiority; it was a naval empire.
And I drive bulldozers with thicker steel. Literally.

Real test of Japanese tanks was never against Yanks in island fighting but against Russia at Kalkan Gol and Nomonhon 1939 . KV tanks were heavier and superbly deployed by Gen. Zhukov to punish Japanese Kwantung Army land forces severely.

This Japanese tank seems inadequate against contemporary American or German hardware. Sad really. The Japanese should not have attacked Pearl Harbor. BTW, wasn't the American M18 Hellcat Tank Destroyer the best tank of WW2 ? It was built by Buick, so it had to have been good....50 MPH + speed faster than an M1A1. Hit and run, drive by tank!
