The Carro Armato P26 / 40 was an Italian heavy tank from the Second World War. The first prototypes were built in 1942, and serial production continued in the period 1942-1943. In total, about 100 examples of this vehicle were built. The Carro Armato P26 / 40 was powered by a FIAT V12 Spa 342 engine with 330 HP. The vehicle is armed with a single 75mm Ansaldo L / 34 tank gun and 2 Breda mod. 38 cal. 8 mm.

Design work on Carro Armato P26 / 40 started as early as 1940, but due to problems with the engine and suspension, the first prototypes were not built until 1942. What's more, despite the proud title of a "heavy tank", the Carro Armato P26 / 40 was not equal to the armor or the effectiveness of the main armament of the German or Soviet tanks bearing such a name. In fact, it was a medium tank with average armor by the standards of 1942-1943 and such main armament. The Carro Armato P26 / 40 was also never used in combat by Italian units and served only as a capture tank in some German units stationed on the Apennine in the period 1943-1945.

The Carro Armato M13 / 40 was an Italian medium tank from the Second World War. The first prototypes were built in 1939, and serial production continued in 1940-1943. In total, approximately 1,450 copies of this vehicle were built. The Carro Armato M13 / 40 was powered by a 125hp FIAT SPA 8 TM40 carburetor engine. The vehicle is armed with a single Ansaldo Model 37 L / 42 47mm tank gun and 2-3 Breda mod. 38 cal. 8 mm.

The Carro Armato M13 / 40 was created as the successor to the failed Italian M11 / 39 tank. It is true that the designers of the new car took the suspension and drivetrain from its predecessor, but they changed the arrangement of the main armament, as well as the shape and architecture of the turret. The Carro Armato M13 / 40 was comparable to the first versions of the PzKpfw III and the British A9, A10 and A13 tanks. However, it was clearly inferior in armor and firepower to later Allied designs, such as the M3 Lee or the M4 Sherman. In addition, the Carro Armato M13 / 40 was very malfunctioning and had a tendency to ignite the engine when hit. In the course of serial production, one main development version was created, called Carro Armato M14 / 41, which had air filters adapted to African conditions and a more powerful 145 HP engine. The Carro Armato M13 / 40 and M14 / 41 cars were used as captured cars in a few British and Australian units and in the German army occupying Italy after 1943.

The Carro Armato L6 / 40 was an Italian light tank from the Second World War. The first prototypes were built in 1936, and serial production continued in 1939-1943. In total, about 440 copies of this vehicle were built. The Carro Armato L6 / 40 was powered by a FIAT SPA 18D carburetor 70 HP engine. The vehicle is armed with a single 20mm Breda 35 autocannon and 1 Breda mod. 38 cal. 8 mm.

Originally The Carro Armato L6 / 40 was constructed by Fiat-Ansaldo for the export market, but the Italian army was interested in the project, which was looking for a replacement for the L3 / 35 tankettes. In the first prototypes, the new Italian tank was armed with a 37mm cannon, but later changed to a 20mm cannon with a better rate of fire and ballistic characteristics. The tank had relatively thin armor, not exceeding 30 mm thick, but good armament and good mobility. Overall, the Carro Armato L6 / 40 was a typical light tank comparable to the PzKpfw II, but while the Germans were withdrawing their light tanks from the line from 1941-1942, the Italian army used them in the front line until 1943. The Carro Armato L6 / 40 served in the Balkans - in the wars with Greece (1940-1941) and Yugoslavia (1941) - in North Africa (1940-1943) and in the battles in Sicily and Italy (1943-1945).

The Carro Veloce CV 3 or L3 was an Italian tankette from the Second World War. The first prototypes were built in 1931, and serial production was carried out in the period 1933-1936. In total, about 2,500 copies of this vehicle were built. The Carro Veloce CV 3 was powered by a 43 HP FIAT SPA CV3 engine. The vehicle was armed mostly with a single 6.5mm Fiat Model 14 machine gun.

The Carro Veloce CV 3 is based on the earlier Italian CV29 tankette. It was produced in several development versions. The first was the CV3 / 33 (or L3 / 33), which was initially armed with a 6.5mm machine gun, but was later rearmed with an 8mm Fiat Model 35 machine gun. From 1935, the CV3 / 35 (or L3 / 35) version was produced, which differed in design details from its predecessor, but had more powerful armament in the form of two 8 mm machine guns. Finally, the last development of the basic version was the CV3 / 38 (or L3 / 38) tankette, which had the main armament consisting of one 13.2 mm machine gun. The latest version was exported to many countries, mainly to Brazil. Based on the CV 3 tankettes, the anti-tank tankettes were also designated L3 / 35, but armed with 20mm Solothurn anti-tank guns. At the beginning of the war, the tankettes of the CV3 family were the basic armament of Italian high-speed and armored units. They took part in the aggression against Albania in 1939 and Greece (1940-1941). They also fought in the Balkans (1941) and in North Africa (1940-1943). In the course of these fights, especially against British vehicles, it turned out that they were completely outdated.
