During serial production in 1935-1940, 1630 units were produced, which made it the most massive French tank of the interwar period. Actively supplied by France to other countries, of the produced tanks, 560 were intended for export.
With the outbreak of World War II, the R 35 was actively used by France in the fighting in 1940, and after its surrender, by the Vichy troops in the fighting against the Allies in North Africa.
