Small but mighty, the FT-17 changed tank combat forever 🛠️
Designed by Louis Renault himself in 1916, this revolutionary vehicle saw action in the Great War, where it was able to overwhelm enemy lines with its large numbers and small hull size, avoiding automatic fire and advancing where infantrymen could not. It remained in service during the Second World War, where it was used in a limited capacity by both the Axis and Allies.
Often considered the first modern tank, the FT-17 introduced a revolutionary layout that would influence tank design for decades to come. It may have lacked speed, protection, and agility, but its simple design and rapid production made it a true pioneer of armored warfare.
