| Notes | The LT Vz.38 (Lehký Tank Vzor 38) was a light tank designed by the Czech firm ČKD. It was designed to replace the Lt Vz.35 as the standard battle tank of the Czech armoured regiments. It had a newly designed chassis and each track ran of four large road wheels. It had a two man fully revolving turret which mounted a 37mm gun and a coaxial machine gun. It was a superior tank to the Lt Vz.35 and after trials the Czech army ordered 150 models but these were not delivered before the German annexation. |
