03131 Leclerc (T.5)

This vehicle that was originally developed by the engineering works at Issy-les-Moulineaux (AMX) under the designation Engin Principal de Combat (EPC) and known from 1985 as the Leclerc, was officially introduced into the French Army on 14th January 1992. This state of-the-art French battle tank went into production with the French company GIAT. The first regiment to be equipped with the Leclerc was 501/503 RCC (tank regiment) at Mourmelon. It was then produced in series designated by the French T.1 to T.6, which differ from each other only in detail.
