The Type 87 Chi-I medium tank a/k/a Experimental tank No.1 (試製1 号戦車) [4] [5] [6] was the first indigenously designed tank produced by Japan for the Imperial Japanese Army. Development of this medium tank began in June 1925 and was completed by February 1927. During the field trials, the tank proved to be too heavy and under-powered.
Mitsubishi based the tank on their Type 98 Ke-Ni light tank. The weight was reduced to 2.9 tons from 7.2 tons and the crew was brought down from 3 to 2. A single mockup of a prototype tank was built and named the "Special number 3 light tank Ku-Ro". [1] The commander sat in the turret and acted as both gunner and loader.
Type 2 Ke-To light tank. The Type 2 Ke-To light tank (二式軽戦車 ケト, Nishiki keisensha Ke-To) was developed by the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II as an improvement on the existing Type 98 Ke-Ni. Development work on the Type 2 proceeded with an improved Type 1 37 mm gun in an enlarged turret. [87]
The Obiekt 140, or Object 140, was a prototype medium tank developed from 1953 to 1958 in Nizhny Tagil, Russia to replace the T-54 medium tank. Two prototypes were completed before the project was cancelled in 1958 in favor of the Object 430 Project, which would become the T-64.
By 1929 the prototype of the Type 89 Chi-Ro (Experimental Tank Number 2) was completed. [8] [9] The Type 89 Chi-Ro tank was lighter (9.8 tonnes) and shorter than the Chi-I. It contained increased armour (6 to 17 mm) and an improved water-cooled engine. After success in initial tests, the Type 89 became the first mass-produced Japanese tank.
