About this vehicle
A modification of the Type 98 Ke-Ni light tank was developed by Mitsubishi in 1939. Unlike the original model, the vehicle featured the Christie-type suspension similar to the Soviet BT-7 tanks. Despite a relatively successful configuration, the vehicle did not see mass production. Only one prototype was manufactured.
