Notes | The Te-Ke was a similar vehicle to Type 94 and had similar armour plus a two man crew. It came in two versions and the main difference was the armament, with one model armed with a single 7.7mm Type 97 machine gun and another with a 37mm gun. They were used as reconnaissance vehicles, but were thrown into action and used in armoured assaults. The Te-Ke was widely used and saw service on every front. |
