The Enhanced Main Battle Tank demonstrator is the latest attempt to integrate German and French technologies and to create a vehicle that could become a future MBT for the entire Western Europe (Main Ground Combat System).
The EMBT was built by KNDS (a consortium of German KMW and French Nexter) by combining a modified Leopard 2 hull with a brand-new French turret that is possibly based on the Leclerc, following an earlier 2018 demonstrator that was also referred to as EMBT (but in this case, it meant European Main Battle Tank). The 2018 EMBT was a simple combination of a Leopard 2 hull and an unmodified Leclerc turret, while the 2022 EMBT already features new developments.
The concept of the EMBT tank is similar to AbramsX and KF51, focusing on advanced technologies and active protection in order to reduce the vehicle's weight. The tank features plenty of cutting edge tech, including the Trophy hard-kill APS, Galix soft-kill APS and an advanced fire control system that's perhaps the most advanced piece of equipment of its kind in the world.
The main armament of the demonstrator was the French 120mm gun of the Leclerc, although the idea was to arm it with the fearsome automatically loaded 140mm ASCALON gun.
A single prototype was unveiled at the Eurosatory 2022 expo in Paris and, much like the KF51, immediately caught a lot of attention. It is not related to the KF51 MBT - rather, it's a direct competitor.
