The Type 95 Ha-Go was a Japanese light tank that was in service with the Imperial Japanese armed forces from 1935 to the end of the war in 1945. The 7.4-ton light tank received its baptism of fire in China in 1937. The design compensated for its thin armour (12mm only in the front area) with an average speed of 45 km/h. The Ha-Go performed very well against the rather moderately equipped Chinese troops, but it was already pushed to its limits during the Japanese- Soviet border conflict in 1939 against BT-5 and BT-7 tanks. Nevertheless, it was used against British and American troops at the beginning of the Pacific War, where it again proved itself in jungle combat thanks to its robustness and light weight. As such, the Ha-Go was able to advance quickly in places where the enemy did not expect it. The first battles with American M3 Stuarts took place in the Philippines, where its technical inferiority could be compensated for by the better training of the tank crews.
