Special Number 3 Light Tank Ku-Ro
The Special number 3 light tank Ku-Ro (特三号戦車 クロ) was an experimental Japanese winged light tank project, developed during World War II.
==History and Development==
In the Fall of 1943, the Imperial Japanese Army's Teishin Shudan formed the 1st Glider Tank Troop. Before the 1st Glider Troop was established, the only heavy support available to Japan's airborne infantry, who otherwise would have only access to small arms, was provided by the Kokusai Ku-8. This military glider was able to transport the Type 94 and Type 94 75 mm mountain guns, but these infantry support guns lacked the mobility and anti-tank capabilities required by Japan's paratroopers. The solution to this problem was to develop a glider-portable light tank, but the existing Ku-8 glider was not capable of supporting the weight of a vehicle as large as a tank. So in 1944 the Army aviation headquarters, the Armoured Army Headquarters and the Fourth Army Institute of Technology collaborated on authorizing a new concept to fill this role, a flying tank. A small tank that could be towed on a glider by a powered aircraft and then can be released and sail down directly to the battlefield along with paratroopers, giving critical armour support. Rather than using an existing tank or gilder design, it was decided that a new tank and new glider should be developed. Work on developing the glider was given to Maeda Iron Works Company and designing and building the tank was done by Mitsubishi.
