ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Light tank

A light tank is like a small, fast and agile car that is used in battles. It has special armor on its outside to protect the people inside from getting hurt.

The light tank has really big wheels, which help it move quickly on the ground. It also has a powerful engine that helps it go fast, like zooming on a race track.

Light tanks are usually not as big as other tanks, but they are very good at moving around quickly and escaping from danger. They can go in tight spaces, like squeezing through a narrow alley or moving between trees and rocks. This helps them hide from the enemy and surprise them.

They have a special gun attached to them called a cannon. This cannon can shoot out big and powerful bullets that can explode and damage the enemy's vehicles or buildings.

Light tanks are also used to help the soldiers on the ground by scouting the area and looking for the enemy. They can go ahead of the other vehicles and see what's happening without getting caught easily.

In a big battle, the light tanks are like the quick and sneaky scouts who gather information and sometimes attack the enemy. They may not be the strongest tanks, but they are very important because they can do things that other tanks cannot.
