  1.  @ruzziasht349  France would have to do a Frexit in order to sell Leclercs to Russia.

  2. You think Russia will turn to France when they start re-equipping their depleted tank force?

  3. It's because the ammo is stored in the turret and there's a human loader instead of an autoloader. That said, the Leclerc does have an autoloader.

  4.  @stefanjarl3672  The Russians have the Pantsir, which can deal with drones. However, they forgot about maintaining them, so they ended up abandoning them because of shredded tyres.

  5. A tank crew wouldn't be much worse for wear. A thermobaric weapon scaled down to such proportions is only good for anti-personnel use.

  6.  @buravan1512  That's true, but it's to their detriment. I expect Russia arms exports will be negatively impacted by this Ukraine fiasco.

  7. I don't think the Royal Armoured Corps agrees or it wouldn't have insisted on the yet-untested Challenger III upgrade.

  9.  @Netscape-kd6mg  Russia is so desperate for weapons that it has tried to buy back weapons from its customers -- or should I say erstwhile customers. Trust is a major factor in weapons procurement, and Russia falls short. It's interesting to note that with the renewed interest in artillery, the French Caesar self-propelled howitzer is selling like hotcakes.
