Type 100 So-Ki Armoured car – road (Japanese)

Description

The Type 100 So-Ki was an armoured railroad car developed by the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. Designed to operate on both rail tracks and roads, the So-Ki was intended to provide logistical support and security for railway operations in occupied territories. The vehicle featured a unique dual-mode capability, allowing it to switch between rail and road travel by adjusting its wheels.

The So-Ki was powered by a diesel engine, which provided sufficient power for both modes of operation. It was equipped with light armour, offering protection against small arms fire and shrapnel. The vehicle’s armament typically included a machine gun for defensive purposes, although specific configurations could vary.

The So-Ki’s primary role was to transport troops, supplies, and equipment along railway lines, ensuring the security and efficiency of logistical operations. Its ability to travel on both rail and road made it a versatile asset in areas with limited infrastructure. However, the production numbers of the So-Ki were relatively low, and it saw limited use during the war.
