Brazil - FT 17 and 18

Renault FT-17 (MG) Infantry Tank
Renault FT-18 (37mm SA) Light Tank


In 1921 Brazil received 12 of these tanks. Called "Carros de Assalto", four were armed with 7mm Hotchkiss MG's, seven were armed with the 37mm Puteaux L/21 cannon, and one was a TSF radio tank. 

These tanks were employed by government forces in the revolts in Sao Paulo in 1924 and 1932. The difference is that the FT-18 was equipped with the 37 mm cannon vice the machine gun of the FT-17. The FT-18 was a bit faster (about 1 mph) and a bit heavier armored. Each had a 2 man crew. At least 4 of these units (exact type unknown) are preserved by Barzilian army.
