Historical Overview

Developed in the 1930s, the Breda 20/65 served both as an anti-aircraft weapon and against ground targets. It proved effective against lightly armoured vehicles such as trucks, armoured cars and light tanks, with ammunition capable of penetrating armour up to 30 mm thick. Supplied in several configurations for the Italian Regio Esercito, it appeared in fixed mounts on trucks and reconnaissance cars, as well as in a towable field version. The tripod carriage featured a stable cross platform with foldable side legs for towing and two side wheels. The weapon saw service with the Italian Army on all operational fronts during WWII.
