A scout tank project of the arms producer Škoda Works. Development began in summer 1940, and the first Škoda T 15 prototypes were built in October and December of the same year. In comparative trials the tank came third behind the Pz.Sp.Wg.II Luchs and Pz.Kpfw.38 n.A. However, the work continued, resulting in an improved version of the vehicle—the Škoda T 15A. Several blueprints were drawn and a wooden mockup was made, but no metal prototype was built.
