Renault FT

The Renault FT was a groundbreaking French World War I tank introduced in 1917, notable for its innovative design. It featured a fully rotating turret on a chassis with tracks, allowing it to move easily in any direction—a first in tank development. The FT's layout, with the engine in the back, driver in the front, and turret in the center, became the standard for modern tanks. Its simplicity, versatility, and effective design influenced armored vehicle development for decades, making it a pivotal model in military history and the evolution of armored warfare.
