Ha-go (Ха-Го)

Type 95 (Japanese:Go-shiki keisensha, "Type 95 Light Tank") is a Japanese light tank of the 1930s. It is also known by the code name "Ha-go" (Japanese:, "No.3")] It was developed in 1933-1934 to accompany mechanized cavalry formations. It was mass-produced from 1936 to 1943, was used in the Second Sino-Japanese War and was, along with the medium Chi-Ha, the main Japanese tank of World War II. Being a rather successful design for the mid-1930s, it became hopelessly outdated during the war, but the lack of armored vehicles forced the Japanese to use it until the very end of World War II in all theaters of military operations.
