Notes | The French supplied Romania with vehicles to form their first tank unit and these AFVs were Renault FT-17 light tanks. They acquired both the gun and machine gun versions and these were given a makeover in Romanian military workshops to bring them up to standard. They were obsolete by the time World War Two started and served mainly in Romania. |
