In post-World War 1 literature, the Renault FT is frequently referenced as the FT-17
The French light tank FT17 (or something similar) was one of the most revolutionary, and significant tank designs in history!

The FT was the first manufacturing tank, to integrate a completely rotating turret with its weaponry!

The Société des Automobiles Renault Renault Automobile Company, one of France's main automobile manufacturers at the time and now, designed and manufactured the FT.

It's conceivable that Louis Renault started working on the concept as early as December 21, 1915!

The Renault FT's crew compartment in the front, engine compartment in the back, and main armament in a spinning turret became ,and still is, the standard tank layout!
As a result, some armored warfare historians have dubbed the Renault FT the world's first modern tank. !!

The Renault is powered by a 4.5 litre 4-cylinder thermosiphon water-cooled engine ! Engine oil pump, Zenith carburetor with presets, and Magneto ignition !

At 1500 RPM, it produces 39 horsepower!
It has a range of 37 miles and a top speed of 4.3 miles per hour !

The Renault FT could navigate very steep hills ,without losing power since the engine was intended to run normally under any slant !

The engine's radiator fan provided effective internal ventilation, by drawing air through the front crew compartment of the tank , and forcing it out through the back engine compartment

This is the mighty BMPT, a Russian armored fighting vehicle that is armed to the teeth and specialised for anti-infantry work in urban environments. Sprawling with missiles, autocannons and grenade launchers, the BMPT has been given the unofficial nickname “Terminator”. The BMPT was designed specifically to solve this – with plenty of gun elevation and enough weapons for any potential target. The BMPT only entered service with Russia in 2018
