France and Germany reaffirm joint MGCS tank project
Original: char franco allemand mgcs
France and Germany have confirmed that their joint MGCS programme to develop a future main battle tank remains on track, easing doubts about the project's future. The Main Ground Combat System, meant to replace the Leclerc and Leopard 2 from the 2040s, has faced repeated friction between French and German industry over work-sharing and leadership, fuelling speculation about a possible breakup.
Why now: Recent doubts about French-German defence cooperation prompted both governments to publicly reaffirm the tank programme.
