Praga LTP
After the war with Columbia in 1933, Peru realised that a tank able to operate in the extreme conditions of the Peruvian borderlands would be invaluable in future conflicts.
Czechoslovakia proposed a version of the LTL just developed for Lithuania, as the LTP. Pleased with the design, an order was placed for 24 vehicles.
In February 1939 all tanks had been delivered to Peru. The tanks were painted in 3-tone camouflage, and each named for a region or city in Peru. With the war of 1941, only 12 of the tanks were used in combat and those vehicles received a large circle, square or triangle marking on the turret to designate being in the 1st, 2nd or 3rd tank platoon for the campaign. With no significant resistance from the Ecuadorians no tanks were lost in combat.
Peru was extremely happy with the general performance of the LTP, and attempted to order more after the end of WWII. With the rise of the communist government in Czechoslovakia sales to a pro-US nation were deemed not possible, and instead only a package of spares was sold.
The tanks remained in service until the 1980's.
