TET L33-33 CC (ITA)
In june 1940, when italy declared war to France, the CV 33 and 35 were, by far, the most numerous tank model in service in the whole Regio Esercito (Royal Italian Army). This was a combination of three factors : The international export success of the British Carden-Loyd concept of mini-tank or "tankette", the need in 1933 of a fast infantry tank for colonial conquest (the CV33 will indeed form the bulwark of the Italian armoured forces during the Ethiopian campaign), and a lack of industrial resources and capacity which prevented to built bigger tanks during these years… Eventually, no less than 2700 were delivered, from which 1216 exported and 1506 took service with the Regia Esercito.
