Carro Armato P40 Tank | Italy

The Carro Armato P40, known as the "P40" or "Carro Pesante P40", is an Italian heavy tank developed towards the end of World War II. Although its production began late in the war and was produced in small numbers, the P40 represents the pinnacle of Italian tank development during the conflict. Due to its late completion and limited operational capabilities, the P40 saw limited action, mainly on Italian soil and under German commands following Italy's armistice with the Allies.
