Autoblinda AB43

The Autoblinda AB40 was developed by FIAT in May 1939. The AB41 was introduced in 1941 with further design improvements. The AB43 was a result of continued development of the AB41 including a larger turret housing a 20mm Breda 35 with coaxial 8mm machine gun. The AB43 never entered service with Italian forces. Production started in 1944, following the armistace in September 1943, under occupied German control. As a result AB43 served within German unit on the Italian front.
