The Leclerc is currently the only main battle tank (MBT) in use by the French Army (under the official designation Char Leclerc), designed as a highly advanced machine to combat numerically superior enemy forces during the Cold War period. Since 1989, when the first prototype was built, the Leclerc tank has served in the armed forces of France and the United Arab Emirates.
