Italian medium tank M11-39

Více o knize

Focusing on its historical significance, the M11/39 tank marks a pivotal evolution in Italian armored vehicles, bridging the gap between earlier models and the more advanced M 13/40. Weighing 11 tonnes, it features a 37 mm cannon and dual Breda Mod. 38 machine guns. However, it suffers from a low-powered engine and lacks radio equipment, rendering it ill-suited for desert combat. Despite these limitations, the M11/39 laid the groundwork for Italy's medium tank lineage used during World War II.
