To answer the usual silly jokes: "Despite our overwhelming numerical and material superiority, French troops counter-attacked in several places. I can't understand how such brave soldiers, fighting in various places at one against ten (sometimes even one against thirty), still manage to find enough strength to go on the assault: it's simply amazing !" " I find among the French soldiers of Dunkirk the same ardour as that of the poilus of Verdun in 1916. For several days hundreds of bombers and guns have been pounding the French defences. However, it is still the same thing, our infantry and tanks cannot break through, despite some ephemeral local successes." "Dunkirk proves to me that the French soldier is one of the best in the world. The French artillery, so feared in 14-18, once again demonstrated its dreaded effectiveness. Our losses are terrifying: many battalions have lost 60% of their strength, sometimes even more! “ "By resisting about ten days to our forces, which were significantly superior in terms of numbers and resources, the French army achieved a superb feat in Dunkirk that is to be commended. It certainly saved Britain from defeat, by allowing its professional army to reach the English coast." War diary General Von Küchler commandant of the XVIII army " Bir Hakeim is new evidence of the thesis I always defended: the French are, after us, the best soldiers in Europe. Even with its current birth rate, France will always be able to field a hundred divisions. After the war, we will absolutely have to build a coalition which may contain a country capable of military exploits such as Bir Hakeim wich stun the world”. Hitler to the members of the German general staff in June 11, 1942

Still can shoot several targets when going full throttle thanks to a fully auto loading and gyrostabilised cannon.

Great video thanks. It’s missing main key feature of the Leclerc tanks vs other western tanks: it’s unique loading mechanism which allows it to shoot repeatedly without the need to re-aim the target. That means that you can shoot 6 times in a row in 1 mn with this tank and aiming at the same target still or any other one of your choice. Only Leclerc tank has this feature and able to shoot while moving still. As a consequence you also don’t need a loader in the tank which means only 3 people are needed to operate it. The downside of it might be that his armor is not as good as other MBTs as it’s lighter. Initial reliability problems seems to have been fixed. Last main problem of this tank is that it came too late to the market despite being the most advanced one. Therefore it’s not available in many units over the world like others and its truly it’s main challenge. No more production line open, toolings scrapped, such a shame for such an advanced MBT… should have been so useful to the Ukrainian especially.

When WW2 began, Frances tanks had superior armour and guns yet they were inferior to German tanks. Why? For simple reasons. FE Francés tank commander was alone on the turret and was supposed to perform several tasks simultaneously (such as aiming, giving orders, looking at the surroundings etc.). Meanwhile German tank commanders could focus on their command and scouting. Plus French tanks lack any mean of communications between crew members; unlike the Germans who enjoyed a superb piece of equipment called laringophone. Also, French tanks had quite bad situational awareness capabilities while the German ones where far superior. So; armour and gun caliber are not the only thing that matter for a good tank.

@@Nikolay_Grigoryev Well there has been a lack of precision Russian strikes in this war due to their lack of precison weapons. Russia may possess such precision weapons, including artillery shells , but they appear not to possess them in qauntity. As for 20k to 50k rounds a day, Russia was at their high point of artillery usage firing about 60,000 rounds a day, but the depletion of its stockpiles and the slowing down of resupply due Ukranian precise artillery strikes against their ammunition deposts has brought that down to around 20,000 a day. It's noteworthy this level of use is happening before any NATO tanks have arrived and it's doubtful Russian can sustain increased usage or even current usage over an extended period. It's also noteworthy that Russias command and control systems are failing in that it takes too long for reports from the front line to produce a fire mission in response, and mobile targets like tanks and self propelled artillery and even towed artillery are likely to have moved by the time the strike arrives. It further noteworthy the Ukranians are winnning the drone surveilance war. So I dont think that NATO supplied tanks face quite the threat from Russian precision weapons and mass artillery that you seem to think.

There are about 100 T-14s and the T-90 M Proryv is far superior (sight systems, radar and gun of the T-14) to the Leclerc of which, yes, there are very few units. The Russian anti-tank missiles have charged every car they have put in front of them and they have a longer range than any Western armored vehicle.

@@1956caiman I am sure Russian tanks are better than a lot of people give them credit for, but in the end, a T90M costs less than half the price of a Leclerc, the cost difference does come from somewhere and it is very likely due to better optronics, and computerized battlefield equipment. that is a fact that the Leclerc is much more computerized and has probably some of the best firing computer and optics in the world. Do you really think the French army is stupid enough to pay twice as much for their tanks even though their doctrine is to have better tanks in Less numbers than the russian federation? Now the argument about ATGMs here is irrelevant as the overwhelming majority of modern tanks would most likely get destroyed by any last generation ATGM anyway.

German views were quite different: "Despite our overwhelming numerical and material superiority, French troops counter-attacked in several places. I can't understand how such brave soldiers, fighting in various places at one against ten (sometimes even one against thirty), still manage to find enough strength to go on the assault: it's simply amazing !" " I find among the French soldiers of Dunkirk the same ardour as that of the poilus of Verdun in 1916. For several days hundreds of bombers and guns have been pounding the French defences. However, it is still the same thing, our infantry and tanks cannot break through, despite some ephemeral local successes." "Dunkirk proves to me that the French soldier is one of the best in the world. The French artillery, so feared in 14-18, once again demonstrated its dreaded effectiveness. Our losses are terrifying: many battalions have lost 60% of their strength, sometimes even more! “ "By resisting about ten days to our forces, which were significantly superior in terms of numbers and resources, the French army achieved a superb feat in Dunkirk that is to be commended. It certainly saved Britain from defeat, by allowing its professional army to reach the English coast." War diary General Von Küchler commandant of the XVIII army " Bir Hakeim is new evidence of the thesis I always defended: the French are, after us, the best soldiers in Europe. Even with its current birth rate, France will always be able to field a hundred divisions. After the war, we will absolutely have to build a coalition which may contain a country capable of military exploits such as Bir Hakeim wich stun the world”.

Lol I do t think the Russians will be that worried about these tanks. Abrams are alot stronger and now hunting Russians. There is a reason why the US has replaced the Abrams yet and that's because it's a beast. It can even have anti land mine sweeper and stop landmines. It's armor is so thick that it won't destroy it. Not to mention they have hatches to get out if the thing is dead. It's not the tank that's important but the people. Patton proved that during WW2.

Indeed the only way for a tank to properly function be used to its full capacity is its crew. If the Ukrainians are trained right they just might cut through Russian T90s and T14s like a hot knife through butter. Like how our JAVELIN launchers have been doing so for almost a year now.
