The Carden-Loyd Mark VI tankette was a small two-man machine gun carrier. It weighed less than two tons, and was designed primarily to be used for reconnaissance.

Variants included a mortar carrier and a smoke projector.

The machine gun, either a 0.303 inch or a 0.500 inch Vickers, was placed on a tripod at the front of the hull.  The gun had limited traverse, since it was not supposed to be fired directly from the tankette.

The Carden-Loyd Mark VI tankette was the used as the basis for several tanks that were built in other countries, including the Soviet Union's T-27 tankette, which was used to defend the USSR from invading German troops during World War II. France, Poland, Japan, Italy and Czechoslovakia also used the Carden-Loyd Mark VI tankette design.
