The Leclerc

Deployed in 1993, the 3rd generation modern battle tank Leclerc is a truly innovative war machine. It was one of the first tanks to feature an advanced electronics system that includes full computerization of functions like targeting, control and communications. The Leclerc’s distinctively shaped turret mounts a 52 caliber 120mm cannon with an automatic loading device, capable of firing 10 rounds per minute. Modular armour system makes repair and upgrading simpler than ever.

The tank is powered by a compact, 4-stroke V-8 diesel engine and features gas turbines for auxiliry power.

Weighing a total of 56 tons, the Leclerc has a lightweight and well-balanced chassis, contributing to speed and mobility.

Introduced in 1997, the Leclerc Series 2 features a turret-mounted air conditioner to cool the computer system
