Forces in focus. The French Army.

This post stems from my attempting to find out more on the FELLIN next gen soldier system.  It just a brief pictorial of various French arms and armor.  Of interest to me is the LeClerc Main Battle Tank.  At around 56 tons its the lightest western MBT and yet the French claim that it provides the same protection as the much heavier Abrams and Leopard.  A wild claim when you consider that many IFV's are now approaching 40 tons and a few are heavier than the LeClerc!
