The Worlds Smallest Tank "Tankette"

This is a video of what i believe is the worlds smallest tank. Its the size of a motor bike and its made in Italy for world war 2. The tank is in the Canadian war museum in Ottawa Canada and its a great place to visit if you like military/war history. This tank isnt like a guiness world record or anything that i know of but its the smallest tank ive personally seen. It was called on the sign the italian "tankette"

They were awfully common in europe; the examples are Polish (TK-3; TKS; TKD; TKF; TKSD; TKW; TKS-NKM) Czech (Tancik VZ.33; Praga AH-IV, Skoda) British (Carden-Lloyd CL-4; CL-6) and the aforementioned italian Carro Veloce. The most powerful (and smallest) are the Polish TKS; TKS-NKM (Long Barreled 20mm Semi Automatic High Velocity AT Gun); TKD (37mm AA-AT Gun); and the TKSD (improved TKD, With more space, armor and velocity). The biggest and one of the most succesful was the Czech Praga AH-IV

@theoldgalah Yea sorry, i was thinking of another Mine tank used by the allies, can't remember what nation, probably soviet.

[theoldgalah]

@rabies79 Sorry.Actually there were alot of goliaths built and used extensively on the eastern front and for building demolition.Imagine being assigned to a tankette squadron.All your mates go off to the tigers and panzer 4's etc how embarrassing ;o/ not to mention dangerous as their Armour typically wouldn't stop a a BB round just as well they were quick.

[rabies79]

@theoldgalah I didn't say anything about goliath tanks, and i think only a few prototypes where built, many tankettes where also used for infantery suport,

[theoldgalah]

@rabies79 Actually the German Goliath s weren't tankettes they were tracked or remote controlled mines. Tankettes were one or two man light tanks mostly used for training tactics or recon.

italy tztztz loves to build small vehicles maybe bcz italians are so tiny muahahaha

[rabies79]

There are smaller tankettes, this looks like a rare mortar tankette, Germany acctually had Suicide tankettes, realy small, i think 2 of them was used.
