Meet the Leclerc: The Best Tank on Earth (Not Made in USA)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 бер 2022
- In today’s session, we are going to discuss one of the best tanks on earth originated from France, the Leclerc Tank. If you don’t want to miss crucial information on this topic, stay with us until the end of this video.
The Leclerc main battle tank (MBT) is a 57-tonne tracked machine manufactured by Nexter Systems, a French state-owned weapons manufacturer (previously known as Giat Industries). It can fire arrows, explosives, and canisters in both stationary and mobile modes.
The MBT is in service with the French Army and the United Arab Emirates Armed Forces (UAE). In September 2001, the French Army placed the final order for 52 Leclerc tanks, bringing the total order to 406 tanks (plus 20 armored recovery vehicles). In October 2007, deliveries were completed. As of May 2021, the French Army possessed a fleet of 200 Leclerc tanks. The UAE ordered 390 tanks and 46 armored recovery vehicles (ARVs). The tanks and ARVs were delivered respectively in 2004 and 2008

His main advantage is to be able to shoot at maximum speed with a highly mobile target, the electronic and algorithms running the shot are the best currently by far.
Long live Palestine
when i was doing my national service in UAE, we used to called it the Mercedes of the armored vehicles, 's we got used to the simplicity and the roughness of the bmb-3 and we envy the Leclerc crew members with their A/C and technology, magnificent tank to see in pers
@Johannes 黄皇唱 close your mouth, the leclerc xlr is one of the most good tank of the world
@@Owraaaaahhhh Still
The Leopard is king cat of tanks at this time.
@@Surpriseify See you in Ukraine...
The French build high tech warships, fighter aircraft and tanks along with their space program. May they long remain a great Western nation and democracy.
@Gert Bonk thanks god, when you see how much the cost are increasing for US ones.
@Gert Bonk Keep in mind that when comparing number of logistical planes you also need to look at the size of the army you need to provide logistics for...
I think France is doing OK to good on that field, since you know, we only have 200 ish tanks ahah
@Gert Bonk We don't need to, we kick ass with Rafale and the Thelès radar. Don't need to hide :) But you know stealth fighters are very expensive to operate and are mostly used for intelligence and nuclear disuasion. But the french nuclear disuasion is based on the Rafale but most importantly on the stealth submarines somewhere under the water, ready to deliver the Bomb without beeing seen.
@Gert Bonk and so?
@Gert Bonk Sure that French Engineers are sufficiently brilliant not to spend 1 $ trillion Manufacturing a fighter aircraft that still does not work. French decided they didn’t need « Stealth Fighter Submarines »
Probably the best fed crew. I’ve worked with the French army and the rankers cookhouse serves wine with lunch! 🍷
Lol yeah, and the soldiers are allowed sexy time as long as they keep it quiet.
Gotta keep that French lifestyle even in combat.
An happy soldier is a motivated soldier ya know lol.
Wine is disgusting
you prob just drank 5$ wine@@mikrosixtysix
Cheap or expensive wine is never as good as beer
Did they actually miss to mention the fact it needs 1 less crew member compared to other competing tanks ?!? Thanks to the auto reload mechanism.
I love it when at 8:36, one tank crew member says :"Ah, c'est de la merde !". I think he's referring to the gas mask he's wearing, ...not to the tank.
Radiocheck failed
Thanks. Nice video. It was quite interesting.
BTW, the French language is tricky and the final C in Leclerc is actually silent. :)
Actually, it's tricky here. In belgium you pronounce the T in vingt and you can pronounce the C in Leclerc, or in Clerc de notaire because there is a consonnant before the last consonnant.
@@carthkaras6449 in Lorraine (France) we pronounce the T in vingt too, but not the C in Leclerc
Leclerc tanks are the most comfortable tanks around, it’s important to be comfortable when you blow up something 😏
For real, how many hundreds of tanks have been taken out by drone grenade drops while the hatch is open in the last year? People gotta get some air.
The best tank is the one with logistics, crew training/experience, support of combined arms.
Правильные слова. Без поддержки, в современной войне, танк быстро сожгут.
@Yogi true well Russia down the bottom of the list. Poor logistics etc.
THEN SEND THIS TANK TO UKRAINE AND SEE IF WHAT YOU SAY IS REAL....
@@jackjackson3874 If Russia is so weak, why USA don't have the balls to meddle in Ukraine then? They can easily swipe Russia right? right?
There is no such thing as the best tank and will never be
Best part: it has air conditioning
The French are so underrated
possibly in every single area. They have a space program "project arianne" started in 1972. Ever heard about it ? I bet you haven't. That's just the tip of the iceberg.
It does look badass
This tank is leading the F1 world championship
*was
What's really good about this Chain is that he will look for real information sooner than rumors about the French in the Second World War
french pronunciation advice : the C at the end of "leclerc" is a silent letter. there are a lot of silent letters in french spoken language...
Also tank Max and tank Russell looks really good. Addition Tank norris very promising
Beware of the Dutch, they now have the Supermax tank AND NDV tank.
"it is I,leclerc"
FYI, the ending "c" in Leclerc is silent. You pronouce it "le-clair" ;)
@200 of France’s 406 total LeClercs are currently in storage.
considering present circumstances the French Army needs no less than 463 additional Leclerc (Block IX) main battle tanks . . . ofcourse the Leclerc (Block IX) will have to be upgraded as well over the years . . .
cool.. so how does it handle tractors?
Nice looking peice of equipment
In service also in Jordan - 80 tanks.
I have to add also ... what about the yemen war (starting in 2014 till today) ??? The Leclerc is actively seeing battle there ...
next do a video on the Italian Ariete tank.
Many tanks actually use a 55 calibre gun, only the M1 Abrams and older leopard variants still use the l44
120 mm nato is like standard for most to all nato tanks essentially they fire the same rounds and it’s still one of the best guns because of the development of sophisticated shells
m1 abrams i belive has the same pentration as the l55 becasue they use the advance m829a4 shell.
@@combatmuffin3192 So from my understanding the gun itself is not as good, however like you mention the latest shell appears to be very good and makes up for the shorter barrel.
It's quite impressive how much the Americans have got out of the gun, I would think this is about as much as they are going to get though.
@@AB-gi3qy They might be able to get a little more out of it. The us had a gun launched kinetic energy missile it was testing for the FCS project called the XM1111 KE MRM. It would allow the gun to engage targets up to 12 km as well as a top attack capability. The project was cancelled but it could be revived or a new project could be created with the same technology.
@@cad5238 Agreed pal, Abrams especially the latest versions are extremely good and I'm not French lol
Great tank with combat experience in the service of the UAE. 200 total active tanks with the French army are not nearly enough for France to intimidate Russia or anyone else. France needs to spend more on its defense budget.
At the creation of the leclerc tank at the end of the cold war the planned ratio was 4 t72 for 1 leclerc, France did not invest in heavy tanks considered expensive in maintenance and useless due to the end of the cold war. I think in the event of a confrontation with Russia it will not be the French tanks that will be decisive but the french nuke bomb, planes and the tiger attack helicopters since the appearance of attack helicopters in the conflicts havy tanks are obselete, these are only big targets by the time your tank arrives on site the helicopters will have finished destroying at long distance all the opposing tanks welcome to the 21st century, if you want to be impressed watch videos of apache shooting available on youtube
France is not Russian size, Luxembourg neither is :)
As shown in Ukraine, MBTs are just for show. France spends far more in its navy, airforce, missiles and space than it does in tanks. And a lotttt on nuclear arsenal (nukes, submarines, missiles and more). While the UK nuclear capabilities are 50% made in the USA, the french ones are 100% made in France.
France biggest military spending is on its nuclear slbm arsenal and have the most aggressive nuclear deterence doctrine (first strike policy, basically nuking anybody looking at them the wrong way), that should give you a hint as to why they don't exactly need to focus on main battle tanks to intimidate anyone.
@@Bvic3 MBTs are very very destructive, used and supported properly they are devastating weapons of war.
Would love a ride. Looks sweet
Omg! When This channel uploaded a video about T-14 Armata and said that t-14 was the best tank in the World!
It’s not.
Yo parasite, T-14 exists in the number of maybe a dozen and there is little to no operational history of it. Or it isn't presented by Russia. So, that's more like a fever dream.
Well unlike T14 there are 200 of these
@@ChandranPrema123 yeah i think Russia's 2 t-14's haven't even left the showroom.
I think this one has more numbers and abbrevarations!
Ever since the start of the Russian invasion into Ukraine, I now view every MBT with skepticism. I’m like: how many Javelins can it take?
With your approach you can view all kinds of weapon with skepticism.
Most T-72s kitted with the new Arena active self protection system seem to have avoided destruction by ATGMs...but that data on that is hard to come by. The T-72 is modernized but still an old design. Even the mighty Merkava tank was vulnerable to the Russian made Coronet ATGM. Israel was forced to develop their own active self protection system which seems to work.
@@abrahkadabra9501 Forced to? Unarmed Palestinians throwing stones were causing a problem?
@@abrahkadabra9501, supersonic missiles are faster than action of dynamic armour and active protection systems.
@@alrightbob Do a search on Merkava Vs Coronet ATGMs before losing your sh*t.

Next to the Leclerc shall the Mammouth come out, heavier and less expensive.
Did you now lecler was the name of a frenche ww2 General who has a tank division of sherman firefly and who was the first to enter Paris he was a big friend of the General Charles de gaule
and also a supermarket
@@La_baguette_francaise yea also but they got to hig price so fuck them
Has Abrams/Challenger fired shells since the Gulf War? Also is that true - did UAe use Le Clercs in Yemen. The drawdown in French and UK tank numbers is scary unless that's it for tanks...seems to be a decent tank though.
By the Gulf War you mean '91? Because if that's the case then yes they hit a few during the second Iraq invasion tho they were still pretty much the same crappy vehicles they annihilated in 91'.
That's obviously because they've decided a large tank fleet isn't a good use of their defence budget right now. If they do decide they need a huge tank force then they will likely build one.
Why are you asking dumb questions?
Leopard 2 begs to differ.
Hello..Thank you for your valuable content..Please add Persian subtitles so that your audience from Iran can become more familiar with the military power of the United States and Europe and prevent more propaganda of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps in showing its power to the people.
😳
Bro, the U.S. has thousands of Abrams. You should really worry about the drones to be honest. Catch you on the FLIR homie.
Hello ... absolutely right..of course I should not be worried..IRGC should be worried ... you really do not know how difficult life is in Iran with all this potential under the rule of the mullahs ... if you go back beforeThe difference between Iran at that time and Iran today will be completely noticeable, otherwise these mullahs do not represent the Iranian people. Among the countries in the region of middle east, The Iranian people have the greatest interest and support for the United States.
I mean Persian is a pretty uncommon language for most people in western countries to speak. If you’re passionate about what you just said then write the subtitles yourself
@@chase.7780 True, this channel has Persian subtitles for videos before..of course, the videos that have subtitles for most languages of the world were in this channel..of course, firstly, it was a suggestion, secondly, I have no problem with English, and thirdly, this is for ordinary Persian-speaking audiences. I think it is necessary for Iran, whether from Afghanistan or Tajikistan, to be subjected to the false propaganda of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.
Very very good tank ( of course it is frenche)
Great tank, hope France decides to increase its defense budget as times are changing. Well, at least the Germans are aware now even if late.
you're overreacting, FRENCH PEOPLE dont care about what's going on that much...
Germans and German business more than anything wanted Russia to integrate into Europe. For Russians and Europeans to be friends and business partners and for Europeans and Russians to marry and blend like everyone else doe till we would no longer be enemies but friends. It was a dream they tried very hard at and in doing so exposed themselves. Now the dream is over for a while.
@@williamzk9083 Yeah, I agree, but it was that same naive attitude that got us all into this predicament. Everyone begged the German people to see sense and stop over reliance on Russian oil that would give Putin too much power over the EU. Now due to German stubbornness and privilege Ukrainians are dying everyday because one commodity cannot be shut down overnight without destroying the EU economy. Merkel made this bed with Putin and she also gave China(CCP) much influence in Germany(EU). It is only a matter of time before people are forced by events to realize dealing with the CCP was a mistake. The CCP is the root cause of all this new found aggression and eventually people will wake up to the fact that China seeks to destroy the current international order and establish a new one.
France increased the defence budget TRHEE YEARS AGO, and the Army chef of staff initiated preparations for "high intensity" combat one year ago. The Armed Forces are not really ready to face this yet, not enougth ammo and spares.
@@jean-pascalesparceil9008 Europe was heading for universal peace and brotherhood till Putin brought war, intimidation and threats.
Ah the tank of love and romance.
💞
The next French tank will reduce crew size to 2 for various reasons 😂
The Germans had swagger, which allowed them to win against materially superior foes.
Beautiful tank..But it’s still the Leopard 2 who’s the best one
funny joke
no
Ukrainiens ask: How many LAWs do we need for one Leclerc?
You think Russia will turn to France when they start re-equipping their depleted tank force?
@@peabase France supplies a lot of equipment to Russia
@@ruzziasht349 France would have to do a Frexit in order to sell Leclercs to Russia.
@@peabase well they were selling military hardware before the conflict started
@@ruzziasht349 So that was then. Any other irrelevant titbits you want to share?
They still have the cutest tanks yet still!!🤣🤣
Great to have the best tank… if u say so but it’s the tank team who makes the difference,
@Andrew Wiggins ; "France probably does have the best combined arms teams imo"
Boy Andy. You pulled that one right out of your ass.
@Andrew Wiggins;
Whatever gave you that idea Andy?
@Andrew Wiggins ;
Since you made the grandiose statement, "France probably does have the best combined arms teams imo" , it is you who needs to establish and verify the French world dominance in military command and control. Give examples of 'major' French military successes in the past 100 years.
Put up or shut up Bud.
@@mcedd54 Last nato tank competition gave 1st place to the french, doesn't mean much, but still better than speaking only out of prejudices
well there are inter allies games - the Leclerc team won that's why they got this title.
But u are right ; the competition judges both the Tank AND the crew.
It does not mean that the others are bad ... in any race you need a first one.
But Leclerc is a formidable machine.
Leopard 2 a7 vs challenger 2 vs leclerc... Which one is best?

I couldnt take this channel seriously when you say they can fire arrows
Everyone is an expert now lol
Will France 🇫🇷 if you need any thing we got you 🇺🇸🤝🇫🇷
The goal of France is to be 100% independent in terms of military equipment (or at worst dependent on Europeans but we are trying to create a European defense so logical) we are not there yet at 100% given that we depend many of the American drone Repear in Mali but we have signed an agreement with other European countries to develop a European drone that can replace it.
@@cad5238 because the world is dominated by superpowers (russia united state china) and if you want to be independent you have to give yourself the means
L’armement terrestre français c’est un peu comme la cuisine française, d’un très haut niveau, il n’empêche que ce sont des britanniques qui nous disent comment il faut cuisiner, ils savent médiatiser leur savoir-faire, le faire-savoir. Quant aux allemands ils pensent que parce qu’ils font soi-disant des bonnes voitures, ils savent faire des tanks. L’arrogance est de leur côté. De plus il y aux États-Unis nombre de gens d’origine britannique et allemande, il n’en faut pas moins pour que tout ce qui vient de France soit systématiquement dénigré. Heureusement que ceux qui ne sont pas de cette sphère et qui n’ont pas été trop influencés par elle, savent faire la part des choses.

1:06 WTF, why can it fire arrows? and how?
APFSDS (Armor Penetrating Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot), it's just that the shell looks like an arrow, hence the nickname :)
France has always built the best or some of the best tanks in the world.
1- Nothing incredible, France invented and created the modern tanks.
Let's stop with this joke of the first tank that of the English in 1916, it was only a cannon mounted on motorized tracks surrounded by iron plates. Besides, the French had the same type of fake-tank before the English in 1915, it is just the old Anglo-Saxon propaganda in the field since 1945 which there also changed the history for its own false benefit (see for example the French fake-tank Schneider CA1).
The first real tank and ancestor of all current modern tanks is the French tank RENAULT FT17 in 1917.
The "Tank of Victory", because it is them the Renault FT17 that the French army launched in charges by the hundreds and hundreds from 1917 which will smash the German lines on the western front (the German newspapers of 1918 will even explain the defeat on the Western front because of the "Fear of tanks").
2- At the beginning of WW2 the best medium and heavy tanks in the world were not German or Russian but French.
The only technological fault of France, which was too busy with major internal social problems between 1935 and 1938, was to embark too late on preparing for the inevitable war given the aggressiveness of the Nazi and Fascist dictatorships, and at the start of WW2 its front-line tanks were not all equipped with radios.
But that's not what explains the defeat of the Franco-British in June 1940, but the very poor use of its very good tanks by the French general staff. He grouped them into small units to support the infantry against the huge German tank divisions which, allied with their aviation would allow them their Blitzkrieg.
It is said in France logically here, that blocked in 1918 when the French Army was the most powerful army in the world at the end of WW1, the French general staff had not been able to evolve and had been a war late at the beginning of WW2...
And France was not an island like England-UK and did not have time to catch up on its strategic mistakes at the start of WW2.
But if France had prepared in time and better, and had therefore not lost in June 1940 to fight until 1945, I would have liked to see the French tanks in 1945... They would have been monsters without problems at the level or even better than the German or Russian tanks.
It is therefore normal that once its freedom was regained in 1945 and its military industry rebuilt a little later, France began again to build very good tanks among the best or even the best in the world. The French have known how to make them for a long time, they are the ones who invented them.
Quelle culture! Bravo tu as tout dit! 👌
bro the french had the worst tanks during ww2
@@tankexpert
WTF clown? LOL
And "during the WW2"'??? O_o It does not mean anything uneducated and sucker kid (a wasp so I guess easily ^^), the WW2 lasted 5 years between 1939 and 1945 and the French stopped manufacturing and develop tanks in June 1940! I confirm and therefore I learn to you that the French had AT THE BEGINNING of WW2 and until June 1940 the best tanks in the world, especially in the medium and heavy. Learn the real History and battles of the Battle of France in 1939-1940 in spite of the defeat of French and English armies in June 1940, it will change you from your uneducated propaganda, or go back to your videogames and close your fakes mouth little Anglo-Saxon clown and WASP.
And above all, ESPECIALLY kid, delete your fake nickname on UA-cam, you are certainly not an expert in tanks and their history given what you dare to write. On the other hand, you are definitely a little retarded and uneducated Francophobic Anglo-Saxon sucker (= a pleonasm) that is the only thing sure. 🤣

What version of Leclerc against what version of leopard ? 🙄
In wich way ? Speed ? The Leclerc is fastest than the leopard. Mobility ? How can 200 years old bar torsion system used by leopards can be more effective than the oleo-pneumatic system used by the Leclerc ? Leclerc wins once again. The Leclerc outplay the leopard in speed and maneuvrability, the two most important thing for a tank
I could be wrong but I think it’s pronounced. LeClaire. Someone should confirm this
Hell, just one hit and you blind them......
Absolutly french : bad, sexy, beautiful !!
Still no such thing as 'the best tank on Earth'. With a shitty crew or with shitty tactics (like what the Russians tried around Kiev) it's obvious that tanks are EZ pickings with modern ATGMs or other tanks that are not 'the best tanks on Earth.'
You know nothing about Russian strategy and tactics. Russians do not fight Russian people in Ukraine and do not demolish Russian cities in Ukraine. Russians fight kiev junta and nazi troops created by state "elites" of traditional colonial powers. Russians are maneuvering and fulfilling their aims.
Finally someone who speaks facts not bullshit propaganda
Well there is, it's the British Challenger 2 - never been destroyed in combat and crews are best trained in the world. Russian tanks in Ukraine are mainly old T72's and the tactics being used by their crews are pitiful, hence the losses. Modern NATO tanks would not be suffering the same fate.
@@mauricetoussaint7283 Wake up from your dreamworld and smell the coffee. If Challengers/Abrams/Leo2s/Leclercs/K2s or any 3rd generation tanks would be targeted by low flying gunships or ground attack craft with dedicted anti tank missiles, they would be torn to shreds.
Properly deployed against badly deployed western tanks russian tanks will murder them as happened in India vs Pakistan M48s vs T55s or Iran vs Iraq where the Iranian chieftains got obliterated by Iraqi T72s and T62s. All things being equal I'd expect western gear to fare better, particularly with modern stuff as the Russians fell miles behind in technology.

Buenas, sin deseos de ofender los sentimientos de nadie, podríamos decir que es cierto que este carro francés cuenta con algunos adelantos ""ventajosos"" que no poseen el resto de los blindados de la coalición a la que pertenecemos (NATO), como principalmente su *cargador automático*, ok eso esta bien; pero, nadie, nadie como nuestro (M1A1 Abrams) se ha probado en el campo de operaciones, con los mejores resultados hasta hoy escritos, ha sido el brazo fuerte y la punta de lanza en todas las operaciones antiterroristas a gran escala efectuadas en este siglo, de eso no existen dudas, el Leclerc, sin restarle nada, aún no se ha probado verdaderamente, saludos.
Not bad spec's.... Leclerc, roa Aotearoa nui.
Why did you ignore their experience in Yemen?
Battle untested
So much for that... Bull.
Seems a fine tank. If it’s the best nonUS tank as the title says: why did most European countries that operate tanks buy the Leopard 2?
You are weak in politics...Let's see in Ukraine who will be the best.
It seems that the Leclerc tank is very expensive.
For tanks I rather trust the proven fighting record of German quality over the French.
French military reputation isn't what you call famous compared to the Germans in modern history.
leopard to was being produced in the 1980s and leclerc wouldnt really be put into mass production till the 2000s so there wasnt many options
@@camarov8power319 "the proven fighting record of German quality" ?? The turkish complained several times about how embarrassingly vulnerable it was, and even try to bargain political prisoners for armor upgrades with Berlin, until the deal was canceled because it was found they were using them to fight Kurdish fighters _(and still had losses lmfao)_
The latest upgrades did fix a lot of its flaws, but the Leo doesnt really have a good combat record lmao
DAT LECLERC
this is the best tank ever; a real beast !
Did I hear this right? The UAE has almost twice as many of these French tanks than France does? If I heard that right, is France developing army, or just in the weapon selling business? If France has to defend itself, it better hope the UAE will lend lt some tanks!
A massive deployment of MBT's is not crucial and the war in Ukraine just prove it.
Aircraft Carrier, Air Dominance, efficient ballistic missiles, well trained ground troops and Close Air Supports Capabilities would make difference in a modern warfare.
Keep in mind that France have not the Soviet Doctrine.
@@franckdebzh7608 The need for MBT must be important. The U.S. has agreed to assist Ukraine in getting them from other NATO countries. Ukraine says they need them for an offensive action to reclaim areas seized by the Russians. You might not need them in defense, but offensive actions need infantry and tanks to seize and hold territory.
France has a problem of numbers in its army it is known. We are very good technologically but we do not have enough numbers for a high intensity war.
But well if we are attack we are the 3rd nuclear power so we are still safe
@@cheveuxjaunes2782 There is a good reason for that.
Basically, when you are not the USA, you have 2 options:
1/ You build a large army able to win a high intensity war now, but you will not be able to keep up technologically
2/ You build a small army which will only allow you to defend (and enough for an expeditionary force in low intensity conflicts) and use the rest of the money to keep your military tech leel up to date.
The french, considering they are surrounded by allies, has gone for option 2. If the world environment gets worse, France will have the time to shift its economy and scale up production of high quality materials (or that is the idea anyway).

Also germany only upgrade a few part of her forces. I remember have read somewhere on a military magazine that was speaking about tank tech and industrialisation that geramny only got 250 tank upgraded to the Last version.
And the number will go 📉 as germany don't use her money in her army.
@@davidlefranc6240 il font pareil pour les chars, mais à mon avis, ça n'ira pas au bout tout ça.
Les allemands veulent récupérer trop de savoir faire et veulent trop diriger les opérations alors qu'il n'ont pas de valeur ajoutée à apporter.
Regarde l'EMBT, le 1er truc qu'ils ont voulu c'est récupérer des tourelles de Leclerc pour retroingening.
Eux ce sont contenté de refiler un vieux moteur et une caisse (caisse qui est juste un gros bloc de blindage)... bon voilà, ça on sait faire, si l'objectif du projet c'est juste de changer l'épaisseur du blindage, pas besoin des allemands...
Pareil pour le canon, ils bossent sur du 130mm, qui basiquement, est juste un canon plus gros.
Pas d'avancée majeure de ce côté là. Comparativement au 140mm nexter qui va tirer des munitions guidées ou téléspmcopiques.
@@jujubismuth334 Ok je comprend mais le Leopard est quand meme un des meilleur chars tu dit une caisse pas n'importe lequel quand meme coter entretien je pense que les Allemand ont le meilleure chars non ? Jattend ta reponse moi ce que je voit c'est qu'il y a tjrs trops de competition entre les marques et je pense que c'est possible de faire de la place a toute les bonnes compagnies!
@@davidlefranc6240 elle a quoi la caisse de particulier stp ? En réel, par dans l'imaginaire collectif.
Niveau entretien ils sont tellement bons que sur les 2100 achetés il en reste moins de 300 actifs. La c'est du concret, les faits ça ment pas.
Tu peux en déduire que si ils les gardent pas actifs, c'est parceque ça coûte très cher, surtout qu'avec le budget allemand... tu galère pas niveau tune. Donc bon...
Ps : avant la syrie on voyait partout des "preuves" de l'invincibilité du leopard 2 depuis la sa version A4... un kormet plus tard, on remet les choses à plat.
Best tank on earth yet never been in combat does not make It the best tank.😂😂😂😂
Except that he has already been in combat.
There you go, thanks for your participation.
@@hyrikul602 Against what tanks?
@@stabilis8895 Against the same tanks that the Abrams encountered in the Middle East, the Leclercs fared better, with fewer losses. (both used by UAE if i dont make a mistake of user)
@@hyrikul602 Fared better?!
"One of the episcopes was hit by a ATGM, possibly of Konkurs or Konkurs-M type, killing the driver and injuring the commander's legs." That was a UAE Leclerc...
Meanwhile the Challenger 2 has had multiple engagements from far heavier incoming including a Milan anti tank hit and 14 RPGs , and on another occasion 70 RPGs not one crewman was injured.
Another challenger recorded the longest tank on tank kill in history during desert storm.
I fail to see how you can say the leclerc fares better !?
Your statement is smply french national bias completely ignorant to facts...
All western tanks are close, but to say it fares better than other is BS.
@@stabilis8895 Where did i talk about challenger?
Tanks are last centuries answer to war , now we have javelin that renders it a coffin
No-thought brainlet opinion. You will never be invulnerable, good luck making a breakthrough without a mobile gun platform of some sort. In fact, ukraine is a perfect example of that. The Donbas front will never move without one side getting significant heavy weapons deployed
it's funny when yours customer has more tanks than you :D :D :D
Les chars sont-ils encore utiles à l'heure des missiles et obus GPS, des manpads et des drones ? Humf.
Does it come with a "retreat" button?
