It seems that both pictures shows Polish armor. If they were shot in Romania, then I presume they are part of the Polish army that seek refuge in Romania in 1939.

Wrong. Photos had to be taken during raid of the Polish tankettes (TKS and TK-3), tanks Renault FT-17, motocycles, etc. to Romania, which took place from 23 September to 6 October 1934.

Thanks for clarification, woj. On the sides of the armored car I notice it is painted a cockade. What is it?

Tactical signs. Wheel (first car on the right, isn't it?) - first platoon. On the left - looks like platoon second-in-command car.
BTW - there are TKS tankettes placed on Ursus truck chassis - autotransporters, not AFVs. wink.gif

Woj,

What was the name of this combination? How many units were produced? You have pictures wih polish takettes converted for railways?

It is a verry interesting combination of vechicles and propulsion (more precise: transmition) systems. But how ... tankettes are going up on this system?

You, polish guys, from you inspired Hitler engineers when combined two planes in Mistel system! laugh.gif

How much speed can attain this vechicle? Was used in fight "up on wheels"?

Iama

Iamandi,

http://republika.pl/derela/drais.htm

There are several pictures of Polish tank/rail combinations on Michal Derala's excellent site. Good descriptions too, discussing both the technical aspects and how they were used operationally.

Incidentally his links page is how I found THIS site.

Jeff S is right. Another useful site: http://www.linux-penguin.org/achtungpanzer/pol/poltk.htm

I accidentally came upon a new book published in the Czech Republic: 'Praga Export Tankettes', by Vladimir Francev, MBI Publ. 2004.

Development of the various Praga tankettes sold to Ethiopia, Iran, Rumania and Sweden.

80 pages, softbound, many previously unpublished photographs, detailed plans, color plates, tables, etc.
