Description

The AMR35 was an upgrade to the AMR33. Slightly larger, with a revised suspension unit, its only weapon was a 7.5 mm Reibel machine gun. It was not intended to reconnoitre and report as the name suggests (AMR – Automitrailleuse de Reconnaissance) but was a light armoured combat vehicle without a radio.
Some later versions were fitted with the Hotchkiss 13.2 mm gun, but this proved to be incapable of defeating even the German Spähpanzer, its bullets being deflected by their sloped armour.
The Germans used some AMR 35’s as the Panzerspähwagen ZT 702 (f).
