Japan’s armor was never much, although this was considered an armored division. The Russians outgunned, out-maneuvered, out-armored, and crushed them.

If it would have been like it was in Europe, the Japanese would have not had a chance. Japan was a naval power, and weak in offensive operations far inland (unlike Nazi Germany).
