I don’t know much about shit but that looks like a fucking deathtrap tbh
Oh, yes, there is a very good reason tankettes by and large did not survive that experimental interwar period when we were just figuring out what role motorized vehicles would play in warfare. They absolutely WERE death traps. Cute little things though
Somehow, the Wiesel survived.
Truly the most wily of all armored animals, the Wiesel.
So do 4 wheelers but they are a lot of fun!

"decided to develop a light armoured vehicle able to tow and supply small cannon and mortars."
They were made to tow so you could hook 2 them sum bitches back to back and see who pulls who
Tank pull...sign me up
"Ok you've got the green light for your ant tank project. Just make sure there's no armor or protection whatsoever for their upper bodies."
"Good news! The tankette survives the battle! "
"Excellent! Was the crew unharmed?"
