Romania turned to Czechoslovakia's ČKD firm, the same dudes who designed the Panzer 35 and Panzer 38. The tank was envisioned as a Recon vehicle and was to be lightly armed and armored as a result.

	The Czechs delivered a strange design that was in many ways similar to the U.S. M2A2: It was lightly armored and armed only with machine guns. One was in a turret, while the other was mounted on the right side of the hull in a ball mount. It was a speedy little tank, but had a somewhat large profile and no Radio. This complicated its use as a Recon tank~~, but~~ nonetheless was deployed as part of the Romanian Army during Barbarossa, serving as part of the Horse Cavalry Recon detachments.

	Many historians argue that the limited usefulness and practical effect on the war the R-1 had made it a failure, while other historians argue that the R-1 was successful in its role. After all, it was a recon vehicle, and recon vehicles aren't meant to take on enemy heavy tanks. In any case, few survived the war and none of the original tanks survived to this day, but a replica has been built in the modern day Czech Republic.
