  • kurwa! this was on the battle field vs the tiger tank???

  • @MooseheadDrinker This tankette was not designed to compete with Tiger, actually Tiger production started in 1942, and TKS was designed in1931. TKS tankette was used for reconnaissance and infantry support.

  • Takich extrenamalnych driftów to nawet BREN carriery nie robią na youtubie. :D

  • @ichmalealsobinich in thousands? No, they were designed as one of the first models of regular army tanks (after Klein and GrossTraktor models)

  • @lukaty88 And Matilda Mk.1 on its front armour - 65mm thick.

  • the worlds greatest RC toy

  • @kroolus Hello I am planning on building one and was wondering where you got the tracks?

  • Nádhera! Doprá práce!

  • @MooseheadDrinker but it was effective against some german tanks

  • where is this thing at

    I want to get some detailed pictures of the whole thing and want to see if i can get inside to take some pics I'm considering building a copy of it

  • @ichmalealsobinich

    37mm was an effective AT gun up to KV-1 era. Mentioning family based on 8.8 Flak - they were able to knock out any tank at the distance up to 4,5 km (confirmed at the eastern front) even at the very end of WW2 (one M26 pershing was knocked out by PzJ Hornisse with PaK 43/1 L/71). So mentioning it durng the discussion about pre WW2 era tank is hard to explain. Any tank designed before 1939 could be penetrated by 37mm and up AT gun (maybe except the Char B1 at front).

  • 1. Orlik's TKS was armed with 20mm autocannon. At the time it was more than necessary. The pilot part i will mercifully skip.

    2. 7TP was based on Vickser E, but had different engine, transmission, gun and armor. It's armor was too thin, yes. 37mm gun was fine at the time (same caliber as in PzIII up to 1940). 9TP prototype had armor up to 40mm, but your ancestors decided to visit Poland too early ;) 37km/h was also fast enough, tanks of that era had to be static to fire accurately anyway.
