Description
I'm not sure what kind of light tank this is but ill look it up later. It was lost on Iwo Jima as my source states that's were the photo was taken. I do not know if it was recovered & restored. Its very rare to see such an intact example of I.J.A. armor these days.
if it's broken it ain't no tank
There is no such thing as an indestructible tank :/ Even the mighty Abrams, T-80s, & Challenger 2 tanks can be knocked out with ease.
its true there is no such thing as indestructible for tanks or any other machines in this world. id love to see a tank that could shrug off thermite mines & or 2,000 lb JDAM bombs :/
As for this little light tank it was a IJA tank that was built during the early years of modern styled tank development so thus its logical that it would be rather primitive by today's standards >>
