The Renault R35 was intended to replace the FT-17 as standard light infantry tank from the summer of 1936. It was exported to Poland, Turkey, Romania, and Yugoslavia.
131 were captured by Germany and used as the Panzerkampfwagen 35R 731 (f). Germany in turn provided many to Italy, Bulgaria, and Romania. A considerable number were converted into a 47 mm tank destroyer, the 4,7cm PaK(t) auf Panzerkampfwagen 35R(f) ohne Turm.
The last instance of an R35 in combat was when a number took part in an unsuccessful Syrian Army attack on the Jewish kibbutz Degania in the Galilee on 20 May 1948.
