8. Leclerc - French Sophistication



Combining advanced electronics with automation, the Leclerc reflects French military engineering at its best. Although it keeps a fast rate of fire, its autoloader mechanism lowers crew needs to three personnel. The 56 tonnes' small design and modular armour system of the tank offer a great mix of mobility and protection. The sophisticated fire control system of the Leclerc features a special stabilisation mechanism enabling precise firing on the move. Recent improvements have concentrated on enhancing its network-centric fighting capacity and defences against modern threats, therefore guaranteeing its usefulness in modern wars.
