KNDS proposes mixed French-German tank to replace France’s Leclerc

KNDS proposes a French-German hybrid main battle tank, Capint, combining a French-developed turret and gun with the Leopard 2's hull to replace France's aging Leclerc tanks. The tank aims to serve as an interim solution before the delayed Main Ground Combat System (MGCS) arrives in the mid-2040s, with production units planned for 2035 and deployment by 2037. The design includes AI integration, advanced protection systems, and robotic wingmen concepts.
