Japanese Tank Type 89 at Tuchiura base 2008/89式戦車土浦武器学校祭-1

The Japanese original tank type 89 was used in Chinese front and Pacific front before and during WWII. This one is restored By Japanese Self Defence Army in 2007 at Tuchiura wepon scool near Tokyo as an educational technical method.

We saw it at the base day in October 2007 and it runed again in 15th November 2008. It's an important Japanese histrical thing,we think it.

some how remainds me soviet t 28 but still amazed to see japanese tank that acutaly works

[WorstCommenter2008]

Interesting on how only the Japanese seem to care about restoring awsome tanks and keeping them in great shape... We should take all the remaining WW2 tanks and give them to the japanese õ_õ

Das war schrecklich

[oddballsok]

And to emphasize: I refer to the situations were troops fled their positions AT THE SOUND/sight of a tank.So not being crushed or obliterated by tank assault!!

That happened at the start phase of 1940 Sedan attacks (and boy do the Anglophiles mock the French over that , even today), yet the brits and the yanks did not fare much better in malaya and corregidorin 41 and 42 (hello! more than a year later with even less impressive jap tanks!!).

Go figure.

The victors write the history books.

@DJonX7

My text actually concurs with your thought(s)..

a) Being a "crappy" tank (acc, to comments) it DID function well.

b) and yes, despite 2 pdr antitank guns & antitankrifles & the knowledge of petrolbombs (TWO years of use) ..the japs still raced through outnumbering allied defenses in malaya and philippines..hence >>>> these brits and yank WERE shitting their pants just as the french in Sedan "at the sound of the rattling of a tank" (see Corregidor=fortress & jap tanks ).

[DJonX7]

@oddballsok oh and this tank was made 12 years before the japanese fought any allies. go figure.

[DJonX7]

@oddballsok if all you had is a rifle, what would you do against it? tell it it sucked?

[askjiir]
