Notes | The Romania army managed to purchase 41 Renault R-35 light tanks from France and these were supplemented with another 34 R-35s which had crossed the border to escape the German/Russian invasion of Poland. These vehicles had some minor modifications, which included changing the coaxial machine gun from 7.5mm (Châtellerault) to 7.92mm (ZB) and suspension. They equipped the 2nd tank regiment and were used in the infantry support role. |
