Renault R35 Light Tank

The Renault R35 was one of the most widely deployed tanks in the French army during the early stages of World War II. Designed to replace the outdated FT-17 from World War I, it quickly became a key infantry support vehicle thanks to its thick armour and mechanical reliability. Although small and relatively slow, the R35 was built to move with infantry units, not outrun them, making it perfectly suited for its intended role.
