Just before the outbreak of World War II army command decided to change the armament to NKM (Heaviest Machine Gun) wz. 38 FK-A 20mm – this Polish gun has proven to be very effective against the German tanks during the September 1939 German invasion of Poland. Unfortunately only 23 of the upgunned TKS tanks made it to the front line, most of them were still armed with the Hotchkiss machine gun.

German Luftwaffe using Polish TKS tanquettes. They were almost the only armor available in Poland in 1939, suffered heavy losses and the Luftwaffe used captured ones for airfield security purposes.
