Historical description of the TKS tankette

The TKS tankette is a light reconnaissance vehicle, developed from the earlier TK-3 model. Produced in Poland from 1934 to 1939, it was standard equipment for the Polish cavalry and infantry units. TKS tankettes armed with the Hotchkiss wz.25 machine gun were widely used during the September Campaign of 1939.
