September 1986. The robots sent to clean up the roof of Chernobyl NPP of graphite debris break in the radiation. As a result, 3828 liquidators are sent in 90 second or so shifts to shovel the debris back into the reactor rubble, facing background radiation of around 8000 roentgen.

The Type 95 first began to show its vulnerability during later battles against British/Commonwealth forces, where the tank's 37 mm gun could not penetrate the armor of the British Matilda infantry tanks which were deployed against them. The thin armor of the Type 95 made it increasingly vulnerable, as Allied forces realized that standard infantry weapons were capable of penetrating the minimal armor around the engine block, and even its thickest armor was vulnerable to heavy machine gun fire.
