light tank
Small combat vehicle
A light tank is a small, fast, lightly armored military vehicle designed for reconnaissance, screening, and rapid deployment rather than direct combat with heavier armor.
Light tanks sacrifice firepower and protection for speed and mobility, allowing them to scout ahead of main forces or operate in terrain where heavier vehicles cannot go.
The light tanks probed enemy positions before the main assault.
