Japanese Type 95 Ha-Go light tank

Bolt Action: Japanese Type 95 Ha-Go light tank

The Type 95 Ha-Go light tank was the most widely used armoured fighting vehicle by the Japanese in World War II. It also saw combat against the Soviet Union at Khalkhin Gol in 1939 and in the Sino-Japanese War of 1937-45. It was used by both the Imperial Army and the Special Naval Landing Forces.

Developed as an infantry support tank to replace the slow Type 89 Yi-Go tank, the Ha-Go achieved a road speed of 28 km/h. Armed with a 37mm main gun and two machine guns (one in the rear of the turret), the Ha-Go performed well in the early stages of the war, but increasingly struggled when encountering stronger and better-armed Allied tanks.

The Ha-Go was so numerous that it formed the basis for several conversions by the Imperial Japanese – from the Ka-Mi amphibious tank to the Ke-Nu, which used the Type 97 Chi-Ha turret.
