Italian L3 tankette, under new ownership, captured, Ethiopia, WW2

This L3 has been captured by Ethiopian forces. Part of crew disdain for the L3 stemmed from the fact it wasn't hard to defeat. Even natïve riflemen could overcome them. One account from colonial East Africa has it that 9 L3s in advancing column were put out of service by natives who rolled boulders onto the first and last machines of the column on a narrow mountain road. The remaining L3 crewmen bailed out and ran for it!
