Copies and derivative designs were manufactured in the United States ( M1917 light tank), in Italy ( Fiat 3000) and in the Soviet Union ( T-18 tank). After World War I, FT tanks were exported in large numbers. Over 3,000 Renault FT tanks were manufactured by French industry, most of them in 1918. Consequently, some armoured warfare historians have called the Renault FT the world's first modern tank. The Renault FT's configuration (crew compartment at the front, engine compartment at the back, and main armament in a revolving turret) became and remains the standard tank layout. The FT was the first production tank to have its armament within a fully rotating turret.
The Renault FT (frequently referred to in post-World War I literature as the FT-17, FT17, or similar) was a French light tank that was among the most revolutionary and influential tank designs in history.
