The TK (TK-3) and TKS were Polish tankettes developed during the 1930s and used in the Second World War.
==Design and development== The TK (also known as the TK-3) tankette was a Polish design produced from 1931 based on the chassis of the British Carden Loyd tankette, with an improved hull and more powerful engine, and armour up to thick ( on the TKS). In 1939, up-arming of the tankettes with nkm wz. 38 FK autocannons began, but only 24 of these were completed before the outbreak of World War II.
