LAFFLY W 15 TCC
1940
Le chasseur de char Laffly est une improvisation dictée
par l'urgence de mai 1940. Le prototype disposait d'une caisse blindée
qui fut supprimée sur le modèle de série pour en
accélerer la production. Elle fut en fait remplacée par
deux plaques blindées assurant la protection du conducteur et le
bouclier du canon fut prolongé sur les côtés. Seulement
70 exemplaires furent réalisés entre le 24 mai et le 17
juin 1940. Bien qu'efficace ce véhicule arriva bien trop tard pour
empêcher la défaite française.
The tank destroyer Laffly is
an improvisation dictated by the urgency of May 1940. The prototype had
an armored hull which was removed on the model of series for to accelerate
the production. It in fact was replaced by two armored plates ensuring
the protection of the driver and the shield of the gun was prolonged on
the sides. Only 70 specimens were built between May 24 and June 17, 1940.
Although effective this vehicle came well too late to prevent the French
defeat.
