The 30M light tank was a series of Ruvelkan light tanks that was developed in the early 1930s for the Imperial Army. Equipped with a relatively advanced communications suite, the 30M primarily served as a reconnaissance tank for both the Ruvelkans and later Cacertians when its 40mm armament was deemed insufficient at engaging Syaran and Allamunnik armor. Several variants were later developed with better armaments, but the diminutive size of the 30M kept them relegated to scouting and reconnaissance.
Although originally developed and produced in Ruvelka, the fall of Ruvelka resulted in the end of their manufacture in their home country. Several dozen 30Ms managed to evacuate south to neighboring Mansuriyyah where many of them were eventually shipped to the Cacertian Empire where production resumed.
