Introduced in 1935, it replaced the outdated Renault FT and was the backbone of French armored units in the 1940 campaign.

About the Renault R35

The Renault R35 was a French infantry support light tank developed in 1935. Armed with a 37 mm SA18 gun and a 7.5 mm machine gun, it had armor up to 40 mm, making it resistant to many anti-tank weapons of its era. However, in the 1940 campaign it proved too slow and poorly armed to face German Panzers effectively. Captured R35s were later used by the Wehrmacht in auxiliary roles.

Original vehicle specifications:

• Length: ~4.02 m
• Width: ~1.87 m
• Height: ~2.13 m
• Weight: ~10.6 t
• Crew: 2
• Armament: 37 mm SA18 gun, 7.5 mm MG
