The Motomitragliatrice blindata d'assalto also known as MIAS was designed by Ansaldo circa 1935.
Weighing a total of 470 Kg, its armour could protect the operator against all small arms´ fire, including 7.92mm Mauser (if shot from a distance greater than 50 metres). A tiny Frera 250 cc engine was to provide traction with a top speed of 4.9 Km/H, and a virtual autonomy of 100 Km.
The “Mias†could be fitted with either 2 twin-mounted Scotti 6.5mm Machine Guns or a Brixia 45mm Cannon.
The project never got past the prototype stage.
