Default Carro Armato L 6/40

Carro Armato L 6/40



The L.6/40 was the replacement for the obsolete L.3 series which Italy had used from the start of the war. While the L.6/40 was a definite improvement it was still not the equal of the American and British light tanks it faced. Less than 300 had been built when production stopped in 1942.
