Armoured vehicles used by Romania in WW2

[Morar Andrei]

As known, Romania used many vehicles from different countries: Czekoslovakia, France, Germany  and even some captured soviet light tanks. There were attempts for converting some old tanks into tank destroyers. Who is interested in? If you are, here is a list of a few of them, together with pictures:

- Renault FT-17

- Renault R-35 (30 later converted into the "Vânătorul de care R35" tank destroyer)

- AH-IV (known as R1 in the romanian armoured forces)

- Panzer 35(t) (known as R2 in the romanian armoured forces)

- Panzer 38(t)

- Panzer 3 (known as T3 in the romanian armoured forces)

- Panzer 4 G, H and J (known as T4 in the romanian armoured forces)

- Panther D (known as T5 in the romanian armoured forces)

- Stug III (known as TAS in the romanian armoured forces)

- TACAM T-60 (a tank destroyer created on the chassis of the russian light T-60)

- TACAM R2 (another tank destroyer created on the chassis of the Panzer 35(t))

- Mareșal (a dousin prototypes created, with a 76 or 120mm gun; similar design to the Hertzer)

- TACAM T1 (only as a concept, based on the chassis of the AH-IV)

- TACAM 38(t) (a project similar to TACAM T-60, this time based on the chassis on the Panzer 38(t))

Here are some other interesting images:

On the last images are possible not to be from WW2 (last one is), but from the 1919 Hungarian-Romanian War. Have I missed any vehicle (I also mentioned the R-35 tank destroyer, the variant with the T-26 turret)?
