Renault R 39 – French Light Tank


The Renault R 39 was an upgrade of the Renault R 35. The Renault R 39 had the longer SA38 gun, but the army was more interested in the Renault R 40 version with the upgraded suspension. The Renault R 39 on the photos has the longer 37 mm gun but this was a postwar conversion.
