Production of Japanese Type 89 Medium Tanks commenced in 1931, entering service in the Japanese Imperial Army the following year. It became their primary tank, requiring a crew of four. Armament included a Type 90 57mm gun and two Type 91 6.5mm machine guns. The final 'OTSU' version was the world's first mass-produced tank with a diesel engine. Type 89 tanks saw action in the Second Sino-Japanese War, Khalkhin Gol battle, and World War II, proving effective against Chinese forces but becoming obsolete by the time of Khalkhin Gol and battles against Allies in the Pacific theater.
