Italian Light Tank L6/40
-
Description
From 1936, Italian manufacturer Fiat-Ansaldo began development of the light tank L6/40
and in 1941, began its mass production. The L6/40 had a hull featuring riveted construction,
was powered by a liquid-cooled inline 4 cylinder engine capable of producing 68hp, and
featured a modified 20mm anti aircraft gun in the turret. The L6/40 saw fierce action
throughout North Africa, The Balkans, and Russia, but the speed of tank development
from 1941 soon made it obsolete.
