PZInż 130
 |
PZInż 130 was a prototype of
amphibious tank
of the 1930s. Only a single prototype was built.
Development
In the early 1930s Poland was briefly interested in the British tank and tankette designs. The Polish Army wanted to buy a number of
Państwowe Zakłady Inżynieryjne
was asked to prepare a similar amphibious tank design to test its feasibility.
The resulting PZInż 130 project was inspired by British design, but was entirely an independent idea. The basic structure, chassis and undercarriage were identical to those used by Habich in his
Ursus Factory, where it was captured by the Germans during the invasion of Poland
. Its later fate remains unknown.
