Did i ever say the parts are german?
Design placement, what is needed, getting electronicaly everything connected to the hull etc. Getting 2 different systems leo hul and new turret to work together etc etc. Thats collaboration with germany.
The turret design is partialy german.
You are speaking big but still are unable to provide any source about your big thales nexter work on the turret.
Besides that we arent speaking war thunder in this case that is an attempt to dodge the matter.
And its in use ammo is never stated either could use german one as well
Embt 2018 is french, thats just a standard Leclerc turret
But both 2022 and 2024 are partialy german.
1 more then the other
There isn’t a hint of reasoning I can find under anything that claims the Leclerc Evolution to have an ounce of German manufacturing in it. Nothing in the turret especially, since Ascalon as a turret concept appears to be a proposal for French forces
Either u are acting stupid or you are.
Did i say manufacturing anywhere?
I said the embt turret is pattialy german co developed and it gives a small claim.
U getting way to worked up over this.
The claim is there but very small thats why germans say themself that the leclerc evolution should only go to france.
I am not saying here 70-80 of the turret is done by germany
Oh god, falling back to kindergarten insults.
There is no claim. Not a system I can find that would be made by Germany, not a design at all, in fact KNDS-France is known to make 50% of the EMBT, and since Germany presented a modified Leopard 2 chassis, that would mean…
Yeah because I’m supposed to just ask KNDS-France to hand me their entire turret blueprints. Because MAYBE Germany having some radio system inside would mean Germany has a claim. That makes so much sense
Neither nation has a claim to eachother’s tanks, its genuine logic, stop Gaijin’ing and pretending modern tanks don’t require the ability to interpret data to understand.
I am ok with news artciles from reputable sites etc
But seriously with the way yiu are handling it is is no wonder the french tree is in the state it is when you arenr able back up your claims for the bad model etc with sources.
And then u wonder why gajin need to add leopards into their tree
What kind of nonsense stretch is this? I’m the only one submitting ideas and reports for France? What? The French tree is in the state it is out of a sheer lack of commitment, which leads to less players, leading to less money made, leading to less commitment. That is a massive, massive leap in logic from you, which makes absolutely zero sense.
There’s plenty of submissions you can find from years ago with full detail. EBRC? VBCIs? Hell, how long was the Vextra submitted? How dumb of a conclusion.
Not sure how well you trust Defense Magazine, I personally don’t trust any of them at all, but here you can see it specifies KNDS-France.
The only mention of Germany is an engine France already used in the design of the export variant of the Leclerc sent to UAE; Thus showing KNDS-France is the demonstrator of the Leclerc Evolution.
And that doesnt say anything.
Its about Leclerc evolution being reveiled by knds france. Doesnt talk about the turret specialy.
Thats where it ends then for me if you cant back anything up.
Besides that funny thing. French are mad they csnt sell the turret in the embt 2022 configuration because they arent allowed to use leopard hulls and apparently nobody wants leclerc hulls
Both the turret and hull have been modified. The Leopard 2 hull instead uses the EuroPowerPack to make extra room for the 2 + 2 crew configuration.
As for the turret, are you able to point out the German contribution to the turret - any parts in particular? I’m struggling to see any right now.
Moreso the case that France doesn’t manufacture Leclerc chassis’ anymore. It’s hard to compete on the export market when the Germans can always sell 2nd hand tanks for cents on the dollar :P
The embt 2022 is part of the mgcs project.
And is working towards filling its requirements etc that where worked out together with germany and germany helping on the turret to fullfill this as a result.
Like it or not germany is the best western tank manufacturer right now with the biggest western export market and has the most experience which they brought into the embt 2022 turret.
There is a reason germany got the lead onbthe mgcs and france on the fcas
Export customers just saw that they could buy 200 secondhand Leopards for the same price as 10 Leclercs more than anything lol.
“Leclerc has no real growth potential” - which part in particular? The digital databus which enabled greater scalability and reliability of electronics? The modular armour that could be readily replaced? The ability to retrofit a more powerful 140mm armament with relative ease?
again cope much?
Swedish trials the lekek failed cuz of technial difficulties
Greek trials they tired to sabotage the competition with false claims jammers…
the only export customer was the UAE (iirc with the EPP cuz whoop di doo, hyperbar sucks) and Jordan who bought them second hand from the UAE lol
so they arrived in the digial age like everyone else, congrats
you can slap as much addon on the tank as you want, it wont solve the internal armor issues…
the Lekek is just not a modular design.
soooo… like Rheinmetall has plans for the Leo 2’s with the 130? Wow…
its not even a new concept eighter , the Leclerc T4 (Termi) tried that years ago and… nothing burger. budget-cuts is what turned the Landforces into the sad husk they are today.
The Lekek gets upgrades towards its service life end, they still dont have a modern IFV, their SAM game is as bad as everyone else’…
we have seen ‘‘possible’’ Lekek upgrades on Eurosatory for years now, and nothing happens.
A competition where the French put forth a pre-series tank from a program still very much in its adolescence.
GPS jammers would surely impact any shooting or mobility testing.
The UAE decided to go with the EuroPowerPack due to the fact they had a stake in Renk and it benefitted them financially more than anything.
So when did Leopard 2s receive a digibus?
Ah yes, a photo slapped together by some unknown person on the internet. Truly you are the epitome of human intellect. But I’ll be patient with your deficiencies and instead show you the modular nature of the armour:
And will probably require a rather large redesign of the turret, no?
