The L6/40 was a light reconnaissance tank used by the Italian Regio Esercito (Royal Army) from May 1941 until the surrender to the Allied forces in September 1943. It was the only turret-equipped light tank of the Italian Army and was used on all fronts in which Italy participated. Its obsoleteness as soon as it entered service was not its only inadequacy. The L6/40 was developed as a light reconnaissance vehicle to be used on the mountainous roads of northern Italy, and instead, it was used in North Africa and the Soviet steppes as a vehicle to support Italian infantry attacks across the wide flat spaces.
