How To...Destroy A Japanese Tank

How to destroy a JP tank- 3 minute video - but the real shocker Is the numerous ways to defeat it with penknife, chewing gum, string . . . . 😝

Now correct me if I'm wrong, but to take out a Japanese tank. You'd have to use standard issue harsh language.

Tutorials in WW2

Throw a rock at it.

Speaking of Nazi or Soviet propaganda...

It's funny when people ask why US and Allied troops ran away from Japanese light tanks, in movies at least, the answer is simple:
That small tank is a metal tracked vehicle that will run troops over and has cannon and a couple of machine guns spitting death all over the place.

*pulls out 9mm

I mean, you Just grab a bazooka, shoot it at the tank, and then the tank is destroyed

And if there's any M4 Tanks around, well... My condolences for the poor japanese vehicle

How to Destroy the Ha-Go. Just Shoot it. It might work out somehow. Or if you have Armored Support. Just shoot it and It will definitely work out.

This is fascinating, it’s interesting to see US training films of the period, that tank race at the end was fantastic

Chill how they complimented the tank

so ez but dangerous :))

Nah this is how
1. Grab any weapon
2. Shoot it
Done

Obviously you need a Katana best sword in the world and then you unsheathe then quickly sheath the sword turn back boom the tank just spilt in half

i love wheels

No PC back I'm the day.

A portable japenese slow cooker........my toaster could take a hit from a rifle bullet and still work just fine.

Throw a rock at it, this should do the job just right

Anything but some less lucky Asian country who lack any anti tank

A BB gun could take out a Japanese Tank

Everything can destroy it

"How to destroy a Japanese Tank"
Send it into combat...

The IJA received little expense for tanks which no upgrade was done, tanks produce in the 30s were still use in the jungle warfare of the 40s. Heavy machine gun like the M2 can destroy these tin can tanks at close range and more were lost when the allies possesed bazooka.

Tank drag racing never took off as a sport LOL

Drag racing a captured enemy tank has to be one of the most American things I have ever seen

Fast and Furious Burma Drift 40s :)

The main purpose of these training videos was to let servicemen become familiar with enemy tanks, to not get spooked if they ever encountered one, hence the almost comical descriptions. I can’t imagine that an infantry platoon would bother looking for a Molotov and wondering which cover to set light to.. just 4 guys could pick this tank up and hang it on a lamp post. 😅

Now to take out the Japanese cars that permeate the American roads today.

Thanks Mark...your videos are so interesting and informative. Happy New Years from Wisconsin!

I thought anything can knock out there tanks. He'll the M3 Lee were "heavy" tanks in the pacific and were used till 1944 at least

Tell me the name if that american tank on the left?

You gotta love the background music in those old films...

Thin paper armor you can just pepper with m2 browning

The wHeeels!

That music is psychotic.

Great little video, thank you. I find all of this archive footage fascinating and very helpful. I have a huge interest in Japanese ww2 arms and armour. Thank you.

Shoot it with BB gun?

Italian ta k has one gear forward and 4 reverse gears haha?

Can somebody please tell me where, when, and how the allied forces got their hands on this version of the Japanese main tank.

Japanese doctrine has some similarities to America's. That is, tanks were viewed as vehicles that supported the infantry advance rather than as invulnerable in tank-on-tank duels. Their armor was only sufficient to protect against rifles. Its light weight and compact size and simple components made it friendly to maintenance units and supported the rapid advance of Asia, which lacked strong tanks compared to the situation on the Western front.

Japanese tank where a joke

I love it. Training in the military before political correctness.

The thing about island inhabitants like the British or the Japanese: Their armies usually have the strongest navies but when it comes to combat on land...

Japanese tanks were designed true to their nature in Asia Pacific. I doubt you could imagine better.

Tank drag race, why not!

I believe the tank is for crowd control, infantry support and rearguard, it wasn't meant for large area like Europe warfare or tank battle

I like how respectful Americans are, Germans would laugh on Japanese technology.


This is why Americans is better

My voice is almost back to normal, so commentary will recommence on the next video. In the meantime, this is very interesting!
