Leopard2/Leclerc MBT life shortened
With EU changes now apparent ,
the missions will evolve more fully.
Direct enhancements to systems may
be required , epecially in the
mechanised arena, however
The first of these is the
follow-on to the Leopard 2/
Leclerc MBT, which is called the
Main Ground Combat System and
has a potential in-service date
of around 2035. This could well
be brought forward because the
design of these two MBTs is now
many years old and the point will
be reached where they can no
longer be upgraded.
SA Artillery forecasts pressing changes before
the EU faces a hostile situation with MBT and their
related systems
