When the Leclerc main battle tank was launched in the early 1990s, it participated in the fierce tank sales war in the Middle East in the 1990s. The Leclerc main battle tank won 390 Leclerc tanks and 46 Leclerc ARVs from the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Results for driving a training car with 2 Leclercs.

At the time, it was the largest single arms export order in French history.

The first Leclerc UAE arrived in the UAE in 1994 and was delivered in July 2003; the Leclerc ARV ordered by the UAE was delivered in 2005.

The Leclerc main battle tank purchased by the United Arab Emirates is called UAETropicalised Leclerc (hereinafter referred to as Leclerc UAE). Hot, dusty climate.

The Leclerc UAE, not only the Leclerc main battle tank series, is the first member to use the FINDER series (LBME) battlefield management system.

The upgraded HL-80 commander's sight is also equipped with a remote control panel cover to protect the lens. It integrates a laser rangefinder and an infrared thermal imager, making it an all-weather "Killer/Killer" function.

In addition, the Leclerc UAE is also equipped with a 7.62mm remote control machine gun that the French Army cannot afford. It is located behind the gunner's hatch and is controlled by the gunner to fire. The horizontal firing range and pitch range are quite good, and it can conduct anti-air shooting.

The only shortcoming of the 7.62mm remote control machine gun is probably that it hinders the rear view of the commander's full perimeter collimator to some extent.

The armored side skirts of the Leclerc UAE have also been strengthened, and the front eight side skirts on each side are made of composite armor; in addition, the storage rack at the rear of the turret has been improved.

In terms of power, Leclerc UAE is replaced with the "European power package" developed in Germany - including a MTUMT883Ka-500V 12-cylinder diesel engine with a maximum output of 1500 horsepower, RenkHSWL-295TM automatic transmission (with 5 forward gears, 3 reverse gears) and a new diesel-electric auxiliary power system.

In October 2007, with the exception of the United Arab Emirates, the production line of the Leclerc main battle tank was officially closed due to lack of new orders.

Leclerc main battle tank combat test:

In the Kosovo war in 1999, France dispatched a reinforced tank company of 15 Leclerc main battle tanks to the place, and the first record of driving the vehicle to participate in actual combat was recorded.

The fact that France sent these trump cards instead of the AMX-30 shows that the local situation is very serious.

However, sending the Leclerc main battle tank just happened to be advertised in the export market, and the UK also sent the country's most cutting-edge Challenger-2 main battle tank to Kosovo.

This Leclerc main battle tank reinforcement company was stationed in Kosovo from June 1999 to May 2002. It was maintained only by limited logistical support forces, but the reliability was maintained at a high level, and the good crew on-site maintainability was also confirmed. .

And the local armed forces with only second-rate Russian tanks on hand are also quite acquainted, and they are in awe of this "last traditional configuration tank", so they avoid the area where the Leclerc main battle tank strengthens the garrison.

Leclerc in Kosovo:

In addition, the French Army has also tested the difference in combat effectiveness of the Leclerc main battle tank compared to the previous generation main battle tank.

The project includes a team of Leclerc main battle tanks (third or fourth generation main battle tanks) with twice the number of enemy second generation main battle tanks (NMBT for short, should be the French Army AMX-30), and Play against twice as many enemy NMBTs by another team of NMBTs.
