L3/35
From Warlike

The L3/35, also known as the Carro Veloce CV-35, was an Italian tankette that saw combat before and during World War II. It was one of the smallest tanks that faced combat. Although designated a light tank by the Italian Army, its turretless configuration, weight and firepower make it closer to contemporary tankettes. It was the most numerous Italian armoured fighting vehicle and saw service almost everywhere the Italians fought in the Second World War but proved inadequate for modern warfare, having too thin armour and weak armament of only machine guns. It was cheaply produced but because of its light armaments and armour it was reserved for mostly colonial, policing, reconnaissance, and supply duties. Its low production costs contributed to its successful deployment in the Second Italo-Abyssinian War, Spanish Civil War and the Greco-Italian War, where it provided reliable support to Italian infantry and disrupted enemy lines.
