The prototype was completed in the summer of 1935, and intensive tests proved that the type achieved the expected parameters. However, our army did not show interest in this tank. However, the deal was eventually made. The customer was Yugoslavia. The contract for the delivery of 8 units of Š-I-D was signed on 30 June 1936. Skoda delivered the vehicles and worked on a more powerful tanker at the customer's request, which was to be the subject of another deal ( Š-I-j ).
