List of Light Tank

A light tank is a tank variant initially designed for rapid movement, and now primarily employed in low-intensity conflict. Early light tanks were generally armed and armored similar to an armored car, but used tracks in order to provide better cross-country mobility.

The light tank was a major feature of the pre-WWII buildup, where it was expected they would be used to exploit breakthroughs in enemy lines. Numerous small tank designs and "tankettes" were developed during this period and known under a variety of names, including Combat Car and Cruiser Tank. These designs were useful in an era where the infantry had no effective anti-tank weapons, but they were largely forced from the battlefield with the arrival of new weapons.

Since then the light tank has seen use in a variety of "low intensity" roles including fire support, scouting, and reconnaissance roles rather than combat. Many militaries no longer procure light tanks or only deploy them in specialized roles such as airborne or amphibious warfare. In these roles they have been largely replaced by wheeled vehicles mounting similar weapons.
