The Mk IV was purchased in October 1918 while the Whippets and Renaults were acquired in 1919. These models included one British Heavy Mk IV and six Medium Mark A Whippets, along with thirteen French Renault FT-17s (later designated Ko-Gata Sensha or "Type A Tank"). Near the end of World War I, the Japanese showed an interest in armored warfare and tanks and obtained a variety of models from foreign sources. 3.10 Experimental Type 5 Ho-Ri tank destroyer.3.1 Type 87 Chi-I medium tank (Experimental 1st tank).The vehicle is often confounded with the Armstrong-Withworth-FIAT armored cars built in the UK, also based on the same US-built FIAT chassis, but delivered earlier. It seems nearly all have been delivered with a neutral grey paint, or possibly pale olive, photos can\t really tell, but it’s unlikely as the paint would have been available from the naval stocks. As customary, these vehicles were individually named by their crews. Another Austin-Putilov, in 1920, during the Polish-Soviet War. It was reused in the Wielkopolski Armored Car Platoon. It was captured by the 55th Infantry Regiment of the 14th Wielkopolska Infantry Division during the Soviet-Polish war and renamed “Poznańczyk”. Camouflaged Austin-Kegresse with the trench-crossing extension rollers, 1922 Austin-Kegresse «Ukrainets» in Zhytomyr, 1920, Polish-Russian War “Styenka Razin”, 1920.

Austin Armoured Car Series III in the famous 1916 bi-tone livery, Russia- Austin Armoured Car Series III in British service, 1916. Austin Armoured Car Series II in Russian service. Austin Armoured Car Series I in Russian service. This vehicle was not part of the original batch, but one of three Russian copies built in 1915, probably at Dalzavod works in Vladivostock, on a FIAT chassis. But since little photographic evidence exists, it could have also been a 1915 or 1919 copy. Some sources state that a twin machine gun version was also part of the deliveries, with both machine guns in sponsons. First model, Armstrong-Withworth 1913 with a single turret.
