Army Equipment
MBT 630
388 + 46 armoured recovery vehicles[9] + 2 driver training tanks.
Leclerc EAU: "Tropicalised" version of the United Arab Emirates; it is fitted with:
EuroPowerPack with the MTU 883 diesel engine of 1,100 kW. The United Arab Emirates have interests in the German company which builds them (MTU) and preferred an engine of their own. This powerplant is more reliable than the French UDV 8X (1,100 kW), though it has small problems with the clutch[citation needed].
Externally mounted auxiliary power unit
Remote-controlled mount for 7.62 mm machine-gun, allowing under-armour operation
Completely automated driving and turret functions, for use by crew with only basic training.
Mechanical air-conditioning, to cool the tank without the use of electric current which could reveal the position of the tank.
AMX-30S - 45
OF-40 Mk.2 - 36
