In 1937, the Soviet leadership had great hopes for the Caudrons and even planned to mass-produce them. But their enthusiasm was short-lived, and by the summer of 1939, not much of it remained. The C.713 was tested in the USSR, but under a reduced program, since it became clear already after the first few flights that it was unsuitable as a fighter. Moscow aircraft factory No. 301 (a former furniture factory), which according to Soviet plans was initially supposed to produce the Caudrons, was instead assigned to design and build LaGG prototypes.The light fighter concept : lightweight (wooden) airframe, lightweight engine, lightweight armament, light price... and lightweight results. - Caudron-Renault C 714.
