MGCS tank offers versatility with the firepower of a 140mm gun

On the 26th of April, a pivotal Memorandum of Understanding was signed between France and Germany. The agreement initiated the next phase of the Franco-German MGCS [Main Ground Combat System] tank’s development. This project reveals crucial details about the tank’s weaponry, primarily the potential inclusion of either a 130mm or 140mm gun.
The foundational principle of ASCALON rests on innovation and openness to new inputs, including the advent of emerging technologies. The 140mm caliber significantly enhances the range, allowing targeting beyond visual contact [BLOS/NLOS: Beyond Line of Sight/Out of Line of Sight], while also escalating the force of its impact.
The Franco-German Main Ground Combat System [MGCS] symbolizes a collaborative venture between France and Germany to design and manufacture a new generation of superior battle tanks. This project represents a part of their broader initiative to unify their defense sectors and promote a stronger military alliance. The MGCS is projected to replace the German Leopard 2 and the French Leclerc main battle tanks by the mid-2030s.
