About the Autocannone SPA Dovunque 35 da 20/65:

The Autocannone SPA Dovunque 35 da 20/65 was developed by mounting a 20 mm Breda Mod.35 anti-aircraft gun on the SPA Dovunque 35 off-road truck. Unlike heavier autocannoni based on Lancia trucks, the Dovunque 35 offered better off-road mobility. These vehicles were used by the Regio Esercito in North Africa and Italy to escort convoys and provide mobile defense against enemy aircraft and infantry. Their versatility made them a valuable addition to Italian armored columns.

• Length: 5.3 m
• Width: 2.0 m
• Height: approx. 2.5 m (with gun)
• Weight: approx. 4.5 t
• Engine: SPA 18VT gasoline, 55 hp
