     The Renault R35, was a French light infantry tank of the Second World War.Designed from 1933 and produced from 1936, the type was intended as a light infantry support tank, equipping autonomous tank battalions, that would be allocated to individual infantry divisions to assist them in executing offensive operations. To this end it was relatively well-armoured but slow and lacking a good antitank-capacity, fitted with a short 37 mm gun. At the outbreak of the war, the antitank-rôle was more emphasized leading to the development and eventual production from April 1940 of a subtype with a more powerful longer gun, the Renault R40. It was planned to shift new production capacity to the manufacture of other, faster, types, but due to the defeat of France the R35/40 remained the most numerous French tank of the war, about 1685 vehicles having been produced in June 1940. At that moment it had also been exported to Poland, Romania, Turkey and Yugoslavia. For the remainder of the war Germany and its allies would use captured vehicles, some of them rebuilt into tank destroyers.

The Renault R35 is a French WWII light infantry tank, the first prototypes of which were presented in 1934, and serial production continued in 1935-1940. In total, about 1,600 copies of this tank of all versions were created in its course. A single Renault 447 carburetor engine with 82 HP was used as the drive. It was armed with a 37mm SA18 Le / 21 or SA38 Le / 33 gun and one 7.5mm MAC31 machine gun.

The Renault R35 was developed as a successor to the Renault FT-17 vehicle, which was created during World War I, and from the very beginning it was intended for cooperation with infantry units. Initially, it was assumed that the new tank would be armed only with machine guns, but during the tests, this idea was withdrawn. Finally, the Renault R35 had good armament at the end of the 1930s (the version with the SA38 cannon), enabling it to fight virtually any German or Italian tank. It also had very good armor and good observation devices. The downsides were the poor performance, especially the low top speed, the engine that had a tendency to overheat and burned a lot of fuel, and - probably most of all - overloaded by the duties of the tank commander, who was unable to effectively command it on the battlefield. This disadvantage, moreover, was typical of many other French tanks of this period. In 1940, the R40 model was adopted by the French army, with a modified chassis. After the fall of France in 1940, Renault R35 tanks were used, among others, by German and Italian troops.
