The LPT-67 Šelma, a Czechoslovakian light tank, was a variant of the German Spähpanzer concept. The hull layout was similar to the Soviet PT-76B and BTR-50 vehicles, and the frontal armor was reinforced. Use of a powerful diesel engine was planned to ensure the necessary mobility. An original chassis was also used. It had six single support rollers, three support wheels per side, and telescopic energy-rich hydraulic shock absorbers, giving the tank high speed characteristics. Mounting 50 or 57 mm coaxial autoloading guns provided good firepower. The project was discontinued for technical and e...
