ザ M13/40戦車 は、第二次世界大戦の勃発時にイタリア陸軍のM11/39を置き換えるために設計された第二次世界大戦のイタリア戦車でした。この戦車は、戦争を通じてイタリア軍が使用した主要な戦車でした。デザインはイギリスのビッカース6トンの影響を受けており、初期のM11/39の改造シャーシに基づいていました。M11/39の生産は、M13/40の生産を開始するために短縮されました。名前は当時のイタリアのタンク重量基準によると、メディオ(中)の「M」を指し、13トンが予定重量で、1940年が生産初年度でした。

General Characteristics and Role
The Carro Armato M13/40 was an Italian medium tank used by the Royal Italian Army (Regio Esercito) during World War II. The “M” designated it as a medium tank, “13” indicated its weight in tonnes, and “40” denoted the year it entered service (1940). Although classified as medium, it was closer in capability to Allied light tanks of the time. It represented a major step up from Italy’s previous light tanks and tankettes, but its design was flawed: it used riveted construction instead of welding, which could cause lethal spalling inside the hull when hit. It saw extensive combat in North Africa, where it quickly proved vulnerable to British 2-pounder and 6-pounder anti-tank guns.

Powerplant and Mobility
- Engine: 1 x SPA 8T M40 V8 diesel engine.
- Power Output: 125 hp (93 kW).
- Maximum Speed (Road): 30 km/h (19 mph).
- Range (Road): 200 km (124 mi).
- Suspension: Bogie system on leaf springs, which was outdated compared to the Christie or torsion bar systems used by other nations.
- Performance Issue: The engine was generally underpowered for the tank’s weight, contributing to its slow speed and poor mobility, especially in the desert environment.
Armament and Armor
- Main Armament: 1 x 47 mm L/32 gun (Turret mounted).
- Secondary Armament: 3 x 8 mm Breda Modello 38 machine guns (one coaxial, two in a hull mount).
- Ammunition Capacity: 87 rounds (47 mm).
- Armor (Max): 42 mm (1.7 in) on the front (vertical), though much of the armor was thinner, especially on the turret.
- Major Flaw: The 47 mm L/32 main gun was already considered obsolete upon the tank’s introduction, lacking the velocity and penetration to consistently defeat British tanks at tactical ranges.
