They were trial unit to learn everything on the new weapon. Army infantry school itself was a research/education organization educating infantry officers, so it might happen that they gave a lecture for student officers about the latest weapon they had. Later army cavalry school also received FT.
It is said so up to now. But, recently a new document was found and it stated that they were not Whippet, but Renault FT which were sent to Siberia. So, it should be revised.Peter H wrote:The first Japanese tank sent to a war zone was a Whippet that went to Siberia after 1918?
According to Russian-language caption, the tanks in the first photo are French and belong to French platoon of the tank company for the protection of Shanghai international settlement.Peter H wrote:From: http://otvaga2004.narod.ru/publ_w5/024_ft.htm
