Cíochbhratach tankette: Difference between revisions

A number of planned and improvised alterations to Type 27s in service saw a range of support vehicles created from the Type 27 chassis. An unarmed communications variant with long-range radio equipment and a stripped-down, open-topped towing vehicle were constructed under the respective aliases of the T27-A and T27-B, while assault units often rigged their tankettes with pintle-mounted machine guns for an additional crewman riding on the exterior to use when available. As mentioned above, several T27s were modified to fit flamethrowers in an urban assault role, but doing so was dangerous and risked immolating the crew, and the practice was heavily discouraged.
