The list of tanks of the Red Army - June 1941

Light Tank T-18 - 868(???) tanks

The tanks-encyclopedia article says that all were retired either before 1932 or soon afterwords. It also says that about 200 were taken out of depots and upgraded to M standard (with the 45mm gun) and these were the ones that saw action against the Germans.
http://www.tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww2/s ... et_T18.php

By the beginning of 1938, the Red Army had 868 T-18 (including T-18M MC-1 Model 1938).

No, later, most part of these tanks was used in the construction of fortified zones on the western border.
