What kind of ammo does the Leclerc use?

The Leclerc is equipped with a GIAT 120mm smoothbore cannon. This cannon is capable of firing the same NATO standard 120mm rounds as the German Leopard 2 and US M1 Abrams, but in practice only French-produced ammunition is issued.

Is the Leclerc the best tank in the world?

The Leclerc is recognised by numerous world’s defence experts as being certainly in the “top five” of today’s best MBTs although its chances to stay so are now reduced due to its age and the arrival of recent and very serious contenders. However as we recall these grades are worthless until the tank is battle-tested against equivalents.
