The proposed tank would bridge the gap between the Leclerc and the delayed Franco-German Main Ground Combat System. The proposed main battle tank would bridge the gap between the Leclerc and the delayed Franco-German Main Ground Combat System.
The war in Ukraine is NOT a modern war shaping future combat. It’s primarily characterised by obsolete static and trench warfare with both sides severely lacking capable air defense and experience in proper combined arms warfare. Then Russia aggrevates that situation even further as “We can’t compete on the high-tech end of things so we drag everyone down to our level via a massive electronic warfare campaign” is part of their main strategy since the cold war.
Politically, that situation is so insane though.
EU stockpiles and stockpiles high tech weapons for this exact situation. Including air defenses that could tip the scales, I presume. And when they get an honest to god Russian invasion at their doorstep, Europe… Lets them sit and wear away in storage?
