History and use of the TKS-B

The TKS tankette was developed as an upgrade to the British Carden-Loyd design. Serially produced in Poland from the early 1930s, they quickly became the backbone of the Polish armored forces. In 1939, many were equipped with 20mm anti-tank guns, significantly improving their combat capabilities during the September Campaign, including in the Battle of Mokra and the defense of Warsaw. TKS tankettes were used almost exclusively by the Polish Army.
