Editing Tankette (section)

==Characteristics==
Tankettes were made both in two- and three-man models. Some were so low that the occupant had to lie prone.<ref name="T27"/> Some models were not equipped with [[gun turrets|turrets]] (and together with the tracked mobility, this is often seen as defining the concept), or just a very simple turret that was traversed by hand or leg. They were significantly smaller than [[light tank]]s and did not have a [[tank gun]]; instead their main weapon tended to be one or two [[machine gun]]s or, rarely, a 20&nbsp;mm [[autocannon]] or [[grenade launcher]].
