Notes | The Semovente 90/53 was a 90/53 anti-aircraft gun mounted on the chassis of the M14/41 tank. Designed to counter heavy Soviet tanks the Semovente 90/53 could operate well at long range targets, but the crew were exposed to fire due to the vehicle having an open topped fighting compartment. The vehicle never reach Russia but 24 saw action in Sicily. |
