Comparing: Type 95 Ha-Go vs. Cruiser Mk. III

Japanese light tank also known as the Type 95. Developed from 1933 through 1935 as a cavalry support vehicle. However, the tank was often used to support infantry. The first prototype was built by Mitsubishi. The vehicle entered mass production in 1936, and a total of 2,378 vehicles were manufactured through 1943.

The vehicle was developed on the basis of the M1931 Christie tanks, purchased by the British Army in 1936. The vehicle was intended to be a fast, lightly-armored breakthrough tank. The modified design was deemed successful and became the basis for other cruiser tanks. A total of 65 vehicles were built. They saw combat in France and North Africa in 1940–1941.
