About this vehicle

A proposed project of a medium tank, developed in the engine department of the National Engineering Works factory (Dział Silnikowy PZInż) in the late 1930s in Poland. This vehicle represented a further development of the 10TP tank and was supposed to feature the Christie suspension, enhanced armor, and stronger armament. Most components of the tank were destroyed during the bombing of Warsaw industrial areas in 1939.
