In the Western press, they thought about the combat effectiveness of the French Leclerc tank in the event of its presence in the Ukrainian theater of operations.

With a potential deployment in Ukraine, Leclerc can offer many advantages

- according to the publication World Defense News.

As indicated, the machine received its first combat experience in the Middle East in battles against Houthi rebels in Yemen, who fought with a coalition of forces led by the UAE.

In the Yemeni conflict, Leclerc has demonstrated resilience even in the face of modern weapons

- the publication says.

Allegedly, in one case, the MBT was hit by an ATGM, probably 9M113 [Russian "Competition"] or its Iranian version. As a result of the attack, the mechvod was killed, and the tank commander was injured. However, the tank remained combat ready. In another case, the Leclerc tank received minimal damage from an anti-tank mine.

According to the author, American M1A1 Abrams will soon be in service with the APU:

However, when it comes to protection, the French Leclerc tank is considered superior to the M1A1 Abrams.

According to the author, in the case of confrontation with modern Russian tanks (T-90M, T-80BVM) Leclerc has a number of potential advantages.

The Frenchman's high-tech SLA is superior to a similar system in the T-90, increasing situational awareness indicators. The Leclerc 120 mm cannon allows the use of a wider range of ammunition (a large range of BOPS was developed by different NATO countries). SLA and projectiles together provide a long range of fire.

In a tank battle, the first effective shot often determines the outcome of the battle, this advantage becomes significant

- the author believes.

According to him, the Frenchman automatic loader is favorably distinguished by high reliability with a rate of fire. Modular armor can be replaced and upgraded depending on the expected threats. This makes it adaptable to various battle scenarios. Although the T-90 has strong protective features such as composite armor and the "Curtain" system, the modularity of Leclerc armor can be seen as an advantage in terms of operational flexibility.

Leclerc is designed with excellent "shoot and run" capabilities, which allows it to fire, move to a new location and avoid return fire.

- it is noted in the publication, naming the advantages of the French car in comparison with Russian equipment.
