    Well, I suppose they did pretty well against partisans who had limited anti-tank material...
    Of course, a short range 7.62 might do the trick...


    Cheers...

    LOL That may be true. And I bet that some of the tankers were glad to have even a FT17 for protection. I wonder what the loss rate for those used against the Partisans were?

    I would be interested in finding out what weapons it was carrying. I would assume that it wouldn't be carrying the original British guns.

    I'm sure for some of the bigger countries the economic difficulties after WWI made modernizing on a full scale difficult. As for some of the smaller countries, I'm sure these WWI tanks were modernizing.
