COBI® Tankette TK-3

The light tank TK-3, based on the British design of Carden-Loyd, was one of the first Polish armored vehicles.

These tankettes played a significant role in the September Campaign of 1939 in supporting infantry and conducting reconnaissance missions.

Groundbreaking Design

The TK-3 tankette was one of the first armored vehicles light enough to navigate through minefields and difficult terrain.

With a top speed of 40 km/h, it was agile and suitable for rapid maneuvers.

Equipped with a 2.5 mm steel grenade, it offered basic protection against small arms fire, though it was not capable of engaging heavier artillery.

Deployment in Various Armies

After the September Campaign, when the Polish army was forced to retreat, the Germans and Hungarians captured some of the Polish TK-3 tanks.

They were primarily used for reconnaissance and support duties on the Eastern and Italian fronts.

In Service Until the End of the War

Although the TK-3 tank did not possess major combat capabilities, it was an important weapon for supporting infantry and was deployed in areas where its lightweight construction was advantageous.

The tankettes were used by the Germans and Hungarians until the end of the war, serving transport and reconnaissance purposes.
