During World War II, the U.S. military's light tank M24 Charphy was standardised as the successor vehicle of the M3/M5 Stuart. A low-silhouette car body with sloping armour, two 110 horsepower Cadillac water-cooled V-type 8-cylinder gasoline engines and a torsion bar suspension, and the turret is a lightweight and compact 75m diverted from a B-25 bomber. Equipped with m-gun M6. It has gained the trust of the crew by combining the rapid speed at a maximum speed of 56.3 km/h, excellent driving ability to break through bad roads, and the attack power that can penetrate the 60mm armoured plate at an angle of 30 degrees from a distance of 915m. Production began in April 1944, and was dispatched to the Northwest European Front and the Italian Front, starting with the Battle of Ardennes in December of the same year. At the time of the German surrender in May 1945, more than 1,100 vehicles were deployed. In addition, even after the war, NATO countries such as France and Italy, and more than 20 countries such as Japan and Taiwan were operating. It also appeared in the Korean War, the Indochina conflict, and the Vietnam War, and in some countries, it continued to be deployed until the 1990s with improvements.
