It is awesome to see this tank back on its feet, this time not to fight and destroy but to be preserved as a historical memorial ^-^ I thank my Russian Tank lovers and to all those people who, without a doubt, put a lot of hard labor into this project. That said I am a tad curious where this tank came from and from that I realized that a lot of people probably know nearly nothing about the Battle of South Karafuto and the battle of Shimu island. You are Russian and I am Japanese and This story is probably a tad bit controversial, especially in my case, I had a relative who fought in the battle of South Karafuto, but right now I just want to talk about the 11th Tank Regiment just for historical reasons and for those who read the comment section can learn a little more about this history that is rarely mentioned. The battle of Shimu island took place in August 17th~ 21st in 1945 when the Soviet Union invaded the island led by Alexey Gnechko During this time the 11th Tank Regiment was the only Armored Unit on the Island that could answer the call, they had a total of 64 tanks, 20 of which were shinhotos while the rest where older type-97s and type-95s. they consisted of 6 companies and one AA radio communications Unit. Now from here its actually more speculations since both sides record tend to contradict one another to a degree but basically the story goes that the 11th tank Regiment with its tanks were able to fight hard and repel the soviet infantry until, much like all Japanese tank regiments, such as the 9th in Saipan and the 26th in Iwo, they were slowly lost in combat mainly by soviet antitank rifles. One thing that we do know as they fought hard and fought bravely, not giving back an inch like any soldier would, some say they pushed the Soviets back that they had to re-invade the island but from what i could find on the web, no such actual reports seem to exist so thats probably a understanding. sorry i dont have more info but still i thought it was important to talk about the 11th tank regiment. thanks for reading ^-^

So that's the tank that was based for the tank of Gra Valkas Empire in the Japanese light novel Nihonkoku Shoukan. They'd spread chaos in their tracks and no one can stop them... ...until they'd faced the Type-10 MBT of the JGSDF and the tanks of the GVE'S 4th Division (more than 300) are unilaterally defeated by just 10 Type-10 MBT's
American zeal for old weapon restoration is just marvelous. This old tank was called by Japanese solders " Tin Can ,or Iron Coffin . " Thin amour and small caliber cannon was death trap for Japanese tankers.
@CR BZ Do you know Ryoutarou Shiba , a very famous novelist and historian who served Japanese Imperial Army as a tanker during the conflict between Japan and Russia and survived the conflict that inflicted tremendous casualty for both Japan and Russia. He described his tank as iron coffin or tin can because of its thin amour and small caliber cannon.
@CR BZ Not really. At that war time, the essential materials such as iron ore and gasoline and rubber were cut off from allies and was in short supply so our army was forced to provide tanks which lack protection from armour piercing rounds.
They are both Type 97 Chi-Ha (medium tank three of imperial year 2597) shinhoto (new turret) and kai (improved) are subtype names, like panzer IV Ausf C and Ausf H
@Joshua Ngau Ajang things would have changed if the western powers had supplied China with tools and equipment for a fair fight. The Chinese still made a good account of themselves on their home turf in spite of lack of equipment. My Chinese father-in-law was shipped off the Japan for "re-education" along with a lot of student 'elites" as Japan planned to administer China. They were treated well and put up with Japanese families, unlike they way the Japanese treated POW's especially the stories you here about western prisoners. We had guys in our trailer parks in Canada that never physically recovered after the war.

Vadim Elistratov it was used by both names in the Japanese army. so both chi-ha kai and shinhoto chi-ha are ok. By the way, "shinhoto" means "new turret"in English.
The crew of this tank must have balls of steel. Imagine fighting a Sherman which can only be penetrated by this gun in less than 500 meters distance and only at the side or rear.
I thought the M2 medium tank -- never deployed in combat -- had a MG pointed out the rear turret, but apparently not, unless there was a "pistol port" there. However the M2 had TWO MGs in rearward directed sponson turrets, so it could fire behind itself, as well as forward.

Yes, but these tanks fought mainly with infantry, not with enemy tanks.
This guy stole a spotlight from this tank.
Japanese tank has a machine gun mounted on the back of turret. I don't see this feature on Western tanks in WW2. Would it be better or not?
I thought the M2 medium tank -- never deployed in combat -- had a MG pointed out the rear turret, but apparently not, unless there was a "pistol port" there. However the M2 had TWO MGs in rearward directed sponson turrets, so it could fire behind itself, as well as forward.
チハは砲身操作の方法的に同軸機銃を装備出来ません、中国軍は殆んど戦車を持たないので敵にトーチカなどがなく歩兵のみの場合砲塔を回転さえ機銃を前にして進みます、これはかなり有効な装備です。
