The M24 Chaffee Tank was the backbone of the JSDF, during the early 1950's. Crudely built, because of mass productions, the machine often were not suitable for continous fire. Ironically none of these machines survived longer than a handful of minutes, because of kaiju's attacks. Built mainly to travel across the ground and quickly set up defensive lines, the machines would later be updated with better equipment. Few of these artifacts of military might actually still remain intact to this day.
