Progetto M40 mod. 65 is an Italian medium tank of the 10th level. In 1969, an Italian military delegation visited Germany to discuss the purchase of Leopard tanks. However, not all members of the delegation agreed with the acquisition of foreign equipment. Italian military specialists and engineers determined the main requirements for the future tank: the angle of the armor plates, the cast turret and gun mask, as well as the powerful Mitsubishi engine, which allowed for the creation of a small, lightweight, maneuverable, yet highly armored vehicle.
