	The following is based on content cut from Red Alert 2 and has not been confirmed by canon sources.

The Light tank is a cancelled unit from Red Alert 2. It is similar to the Light tank of the previous game, being very fast and lightly armoured. The tank was intended to be featured in the game, but was scrapped in the end. However, the data for it was left in the game, making it possible to put this tank in a map using the map editor or INI editing.

According to the residual INI data, the Light tank belongs to the Soviets. It is built using the Allied scheme, but does not fit the Soviet concept of tanks, as they always prefer to use heavier tanks.

The Light tank was overwritten in Yuri's Revenge by the Lasher light tank.
