5 models Vickers MKE, also known as Vickers Mk E
Description: The Vickers MKE, also known as Vickers Mk E, is a British light tank designed in the 1930s. This tank was used by several armies around the world, including Poland. The Vickers MKE featured a relatively light construction, which provided good mobility and maneuverability on the battlefield. It was armed with a 37 mm cannon and a machine gun, making it suitable for combating other light vehicles and infantry.
Operational Use: The Polish military acquired the Vickers MKE tanks in the 1930s, with a total of about 140 units. These tanks were mainly used in cavalry units and light tank battalions. During the September 1939 campaign, the Vickers tanks participated in battles against German forces. However, like other light tanks, they were not able to effectively counter modern German tanks and armored weapons.
Legacy: Although the Vickers MKE was outdated compared to modern vehicles, its mobility and agility were sometimes advantageous in challenging conditions. After the September campaign, many of these tanks were destroyed or captured by the Germans. The Vickers MKE remains an important part of the pre-World War II history of Polish armed forces.
