I saw a few vague internet references to the IJN Type 95 Ha-Go tank being used by the ROK army in the Korean War. The Wiki page states that the Chinese army used them as well, and that the Type 97 Chi-Ha was used by the ROK, DPRK, and Chinese. I started looking into this, but could only find unsupported references.
This all goes against what I'd always read regarding the nascent ROK army at the outbreak of the war, which is that the USA purposely denied them their own armor. It's news to me also about the communists using these vehicles in Korea.
Anyone have any info regarding Japanese tanks used by either side?
