    UAE to give Jordan 80 Leclerc tanks

    DM53 is gross exaggeration. As I said penetration is more or less equal to penetrator length and decreasing diameter is reducing penetration. DM53 is 12.5% longer than DM43 but in same time 5% slower and slightly less diameter. So overall should be very minor increase of penetration - about...

    UAE to give Jordan 80 Leclerc tanks

    I've seen these numbers. They look more or less reliable. DM-13 (1979) - 380 mm DM-23 (1983) - 470 mm DM-33 (1987) - 550 mm DM-43 (1994) - 590 mm DM-53 (1999) - 650 mm DM-53/L55 (2005) - 710 mm Here data about size and speed: http://www.kotsch88.de/m_120_mm.htm

    UAE to give Jordan 80 Leclerc tanks

    Numbers u posted are from public version and noting but wild guess. Leopard 2A0-A4 versions also had 55 tonn. And they are larger: more armor needed for same level of protection. That means basic Leclerc has better protection than A4. As I said, adding armor to Leclerc is very easy: just...

    UAE to give Jordan 80 Leclerc tanks

    These are video game numbers. Thanks to modular design and large weight reserves Leclerc can be easily uparmored.
