Description

Japanese WW2 era Medium Tank Manufacturer:- Mitsubishi Built:- 1938 to 1943 Total Production:- 1,162 Main Armament:- 57mm Type 97 Tank gun This is the Wikipedia explanation of Japanese tank designations:- “Chi (チ) came from Chū-sensha (チュウセンシャ, "medium tank"). Ha and Ni, in Japanese army nomenclature, refer to model number 3 and 4, respectively from old Japanese alphabet iroha. The Type was numbered 97 as an abbreviation of the imperial year 2597, corresponding to the year 1937 in the standard Gregorian calendar. Therefore, the name "Type 97 Chi-Ha" could be translated as "1937's medium tank model 3” This example was used by the 11th Tank Regiment on Shumshu Island, and is on display in ‘Victory Park’, Museum of the Great Patriotic War, Poklonnaya Hill, Moscow, Russia.
