Its surprisingly spacious inside the Ha-Go. Saturday at Tankfest this rare little tank was parked up, surrounded by tank museum armour, a lot of people enjoyed seeing the Ha-Go.
His name is Hiroki Nakazato, and he used to be apart of the Japanese reenactment group in England that I was in. He's a great guy. A little fact for you, most of the uniform he's wearing, is his Grandfarthers.
In WW2 19 of these tanks were buried in a mass pit and forgotten about, a few locals kept the rumours going and many years later, a team went in search and found the pit, most of the tanks had rusted away, but a few were restorable, this tank was number 19.
Been to many air shows but never a tank fest! How fun. Love the Type 95 and it's operator. Well done on the restoration, I don't think there are very many of these left.
Actually, it served well in Pacific theater until the late 1945, when Soviet attacked Manchuria. Moreover, even if Japan has heavy tanks in Manchuria, their numbers would be too little compared to Soviet that attacked with 5000+ tanks and 1.5 million soldiers, against 600 thousands soldiers and 300 tanks of IJA.
Ketika saya kecil tahun 80 an pernah masuk dalam tank jepang di depan Museum Brawijaya Malang, ketika itu belum dilarang. Ketika itu saya baru bisa membaca, tertulis diplakat dalam ruang mesin, memakai mesin mitsubishi
They literally wouldn't be able to penetrate it with their guns. Unless they somehow managed to incapacitate the tigers turret ring or gun barrel, there's pretty much nothing the Ha Go could do to fight a tiger even from the back. It's a great little light tank but it simply wouldnt stand any chance against a tiger. Hell even Sherman's were monsters to the Ha Go
@@Electronick7714 ha go with apcr shell at short range would penetrate sherman and tiger side without many problems remind tiger was know for is inreliability and is slow turret turning irl and of how the sherman was hated for is moderate armor
They would be easy target practice, the tigers 88 would have light them up like fire crackers before they would get close enough to shot and even if they did the ha go's shells would only scratch the paint. The ha go was designed to fight an enemy without tanks or weapons to destroy tanks, they were death traps to the tank crew inside them when faced with any anti tank treat
