Renault FT-17 (EST)

The Renault FT was a French light tank produced from 1917. It was the first operational tank with its armament in a fully rotating turret, and its configuration with the turret on top, engine in the back and the driver in front became the classic one, repeated in most tanks until today; indeed so familiar to modern eyes we can now only with difficulty understand its once-revolutionary nature. On 5 February 1920 Estonia purchased 9 vehicles from France.

Use in the Second World War by the Dutch
The Dutch military had one French Renault FT-17 tank. When Nazi-Germany invaded the Netherlands, the Dutch sent forward the tank to battle with the German Panzers. Unfortunately, before the tank could see battle, it got stuck in a ditch and the Dutch abandoned the French tank.
