Tankette was a small tank, with a crew of 2 (there were prototypes with one-man crew). It usually had no turret. It was armed with 1 or 2 machineguns, rarely with 20 mm gun. The "classic" design was British Carden-Loyd Mk.VI Tankette - many others were modelled after it. Tankettes were produced around 1930 - 1935 only. The world's most known tankettes were:

  • Italian: CV-33 and CV-35
  • Polish: TK-3 and TKS
  • Soviet: T-27
  • Japanese: Type 94 TK (it had rotating turret)
