The UAE Army will upgrade its large fleet of French Leclerc MBTs.
The aim of the modernization of the Leclerc MBT is to ensure the operational superiority of the UAE armed forces for the next 30 years, Nexter announced in a release at the ongoing IDEX.
Nexter has entered into a teaming agreement with International Golden Group, the leading supplier of the UAE Armed forces, to modernise the UAE Army’s Leclerc main battle tank (MBT).
International Golden Group (IGG) and Nexter have a long-term relationship since 2006 via a “Cooperation Agreement”. This teaming agreement is a new step towards a reinforcement of the links between our both companies, Nexter said in a release.
Nexter is a historical partner of the UAE armed forces since the acquisition of 436 Leclerc MBT.
Nexter is responsible for the support of the Leclerc fleet and has established long-term relations with the UAE.
Today, the group is actively working on the localisation of industrial activities.
The Leclerc tank is a 3rd generation 60-ton class tank, manufactured by Nexter in Roanne until July 2008.
Its crew is composed of 3 operators: the tank commander, the gunner and the pilot. It is armed with a 120 mm smoothbore gun and a 12.7 mm coaxial machine gun.
