This group is for everyone who like tanks, sci-fi tanks, real tanks, funny tanks, you can put here tank mods, tank maps, simply everything with straps, armor and gun :D
In June 2006, Nexter unveiled the Leclerc optimised for urban operations. It is fitted with the AZUR kit, which consists of additional protection in the form of side skirts of composite material, bar armour on the rear of hull and turret to protect against rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs) and extra protection for the engine against petrol bombs. A remotely controlled 7.62mm machine gun is also fitted in addition to the 120mm gun.
But it's French...
that is he goes backward faster than forward ^^
Where is the white flag launcher?
This is what I call the "truth" of french tank Leclare: :P
The Leclare tank is fitted with the very best cutting-edge French military technology available, including,
1. Engine transmission with 3 forward and 7 reverse gears.
2. 8 separate ultra rapid deployment flagstaffs with over-sized 8 X 3 meter white surrender flags. Powerful wave action fitted to each staff.
3. Potent 130 decibel loudspeaker system repeats "We give up" in 10 different languages.
4. Night sights which let crew spot the enemy and surrender even before the shooting starts.
Quickly Kiff, raise the white flag of war...
But seriously. Do you think we'll get to see some these things smash the Al Qaeda in Mali?
I can't get enough of this post. Cracks me up every time
