In the years leading up to the outbreak of the Second World War, Romania sought to bolster its armored forces by acquiring R35 tanks from France. Although well-armored, these tanks suffered from sluggish speed and inadequate armament. Nonetheless, for the interwar period, their design was deemed satisfactory. However, in 1941, when these vehicles were used against the Soviet Union, their deficiencies became glaringly apparent. With nothing else available, the Romanian Army tried to improve their performance by replacing the original 37mm (1,45 in) gun with captured Soviet 45 mm (1,77 in) guns instead. This modification led to the creation of a small series of thirty tank destroyers known as the Vanatorul de Care R35.
