The French found funds for the modernization of Leclerc tanks

France decided to modernize hundreds of domestic tanks Leclerc. The French military department announced a financing plan for 2019–2025, which provides for the allocation of funds to improve the combat capabilities of the main battle tanks, Warspot reports with a link to armyrecognition.com

During the first stage of modernization, protective grills for the engine compartment and the rear of the turret will be installed on the Leclerc tanks, as well as modular hanging booking. In addition, the tanks will completely update the electronics in order to fully interact on the battlefield with new combat vehicles.

We remind you that back in 2014, the French Ministry of Defense announced the launch of the Scorpion program. As part of this program, the French Defense Ministry planned a deep modernization of the Leclerc tank, as well as the creation of three combat vehicles in the interests of the French army: the Griffon multipurpose armored vehicle, the Jaguar combat reconnaissance armored vehicle and the VBMR-L light armored vehicle.

The AMX-56 Leclerc is the main French tank created in the 80s of the last century to replace the outdated AMX-30. The tank entered the series in the 1992 year, for the 15 years the 794 units "Leclerc" were created. To date, the production of AMX-56 discontinued. 406 units are in service with the French army, 388 units are in service with the UAE. One of the most expensive modern tanks in the world, the approximate cost of one car per 2012 a year is 6 million euros. The French 120-mm bore gun CN 120-26 with a barrel length 52 caliber is used as the main armament. Ammunition is interchangeable with other NATO smoothbore guns.

Interestingly, I did not see .Although Husits ​​in Yemen beat him up?

Messages from all over the world - Abrams has proven himself better!

[Semen Semyonitch]

And Abrams-standard ???

[Glory1974]

And Abrams-standard ???

Rather, the Leclerc standard. It is considered the 5-m generation, one of the most modern tanks.

.... AMX Leclerc is the main battle tank of the French army ... in service since 1993. The upgraded version is expected to be commissioned in 2020.

THERE are these rags that are hung on it ..., I suppose this is 80 LVL to invisibility?

[Dezinto]

I suppose it is 80 LVL to invisibility?

Not well, why not? In disguise, all means are good. Although it is possible to smear it with local fertilizers, even stick around newspapers .... everything will come down ...

[vadimtt]

Does Leclerc have a modular hinged reservation, so what else hang on top?
Well, the trellised screen - “everyone will do and we will do”

[Fedorov]

Yes, let them modernize themselves, grandmas spend. Western military district - 2000 units -T-72, T-90 on the go. More than all of NATO at once in the geyrop. Plus there are all sorts of "Iskandera" present, etc. etc.

[Jerk]

Repair mosques better - now it’s more important for you

[Graz]

hehe he trump told them to spend more grandmas on nature, so they try)

[Magic archer]

Hmm ... but I remember they promised a new turret and an 140 mm cannon! That means a "stripped down" modernization. Until recently, the Leclerc tower was shown on the Eurosatori on the Leo-2 chassis. So the French are not very happy with their chassis. Let's see what comes out of them, all of a sudden not enough money

Let's see what happens with them, suddenly there is not enough money

Hmm, and now there is no one to take - Gaddafi has gone to the valley of his ancestors.

[megavolt823]

was interested in this tank. expensive but efficient car. the main thing is not to be confused. there are good weapons, convenient, etc. but there is for war.

When are tanks prepared and upgraded? Two answers: firstly, when preparing for tank biathlon, and secondly, when preparing for large-scale military operations in Europe. It is unlikely that the government and the French Ministry of Defense are seriously considering sporting tank events. Therefore, guessing from three times where the French want to fight is not necessary.
It’s time to update the old films on civil defense, where the destruction of large cities during a nuclear strike was described “picturesquely”. And then Hollywood did everything so that nuclear weapons were considered something like a box of matches, albeit flashed in his hand, but not particularly harmful (in some films, the main characters even kiss with a French kiss against the background of a nuclear mushroom in the background. Is it so cool !?).

[Rav Rav]

Reservations need to be strengthened by frog skin, déjène, angrily, reliably if every time a new one is thrown off !

[APASUS]

So and so it seems not bad, but equip it with additional armor and what will it be then?

Combat weight, t series I: 54,6
series II: 56,3
XXI series: 57,4

You can’t call him so easy

[nathanael]

But I'm interested in .. What the hell is a flashing light .....

[Mih1974]

And did this “green toad” already fall under the “rusty Russian” “hail” rockets? Somehow, after Shumeria, “expensive tanks”, even the “armata”, according to the stated parameters, were worrying - the tank was removed, only harsh reality showed that all these millions of bucks and Euros, under the attack of a “penny” hail, became charred unnecessary shit.
