| Tribunus Laticlavius  | Not sure but looking at it I think it was a mistake to award the design contract to Lego.

| Tribunus Laticlavius | That is the proposed 2015 version of the Leclerc MBT. There is current one prototype. Changes include: 4x FRAG grenade launchers, on at each corner of the tank. Its an active point-defense sytstem designed to destroy incoming ATGMs and low velocity shells (think of it like the Phalanx system aboard ships) Improved Turret armor to protect against top attacks (like current 'pop-up' AT missiles such as the U.S Javelin). The Commanders sight has been enlarged to contain the sensors for the Active Defense system. A UAV Launcher system for Recon and light attack An IFF system located above the main gun.
