E-mail Print PDF

Czechoslovakian firm Skoda had been following the developments of the US Christie Tanks through out the 1920’s and 1925 they built two prototypes of a light tank which could run on either tracks or wheels designated the KH50.

The vehicle had a small one man turret mounting a 37mm Main Gun on top of a riveted constructed hull, which had a sloped front. The vehicle was not adopted by the former Czech Army and failed to enter serial production.
