After the successful entry into service of the CV90 with the Swedish military, the vehicle managed to garner significant attention on the export market as well. The resulting demand from foreign operators led Swedish engineers to continue the development of the CV90 to further increase the vehicle’s capabilities. One such later variant was the Mk III variant of the CV90, developed in the early 2000s. The vehicle featured among other improvements, an upgraded armament consisting of a 35 mm autocannon as well as numerous improvements to its electronic systems. By the end of 2005, Denmark would be one of the first countries to adopt the vehicle into service, ordering 45 units. Immediately after the last unit was delivered in 2009, Denmark dispatched 10 units to operations in Afghanistan, where the vehicle saw its first operational use. The CV9035DK remains in service with the Danish forces to this day.

Tornado F.3 Late

}}

== Description ==

In 1996, it was more than apparent that the Tornado F.3 was severely outdated by contemporary fighter-interceptor standards, especially when compared to aircraft of the time like the F-22 and Su-27M (later redesignated as the Su-35). As a result, to fulfil the original plan for the Tornado F.3 to serve in the RAF until at least 2010, the Capability Sustainment Programme (CSP) was announced to upgrade the Tornado F.3 fleet with contemporary electronics, weapons, and various other improvements. These included radar and FCS upgrades to allow the Tornado F.3 to fire the new AIM-120 AMRAAM and AIM-9M missiles, to replace its aging Skyflash and AIM-9L selection. However, due to poor management of previous FCS and radar upgrades to the RAF fleet, a situation described as "fleets within the fleet" occurred where the lack of standardization in Foxhunter radar modifications and upgrades in the Tornado fleet directly resulted in the failure to properly integrate most of the CSP upgrades. As a result, the Foxhunter radar was not compatible with the AIM-120 AMRAAM's mid-course correction feature through datalinked inertial guidance. These problems would be finally ironed out after 2003 during the AMRAAM Optimisation Programme, or AOP, which standardised the Foxhunter upgrades to allow for AIM-120 datalink guidance for multiple targets.

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a British jet fighter-interceptor introduced in [[Update "Seek & Destroy"]] to the top ranks of the tree. It builds on the basis of the previous [[Tornado F.3]] in the tech tree by expanding the avionics suite and its missile selection. By having access to a more advanced radar, and the powerful AIM-120 active-radar homing missile, the Tornado F.3 Late is capable of dispatching enemies at a much safer distance than possible before with the Skyflash. And if you find yourself dangerously close to an enemy, then a radar-slaved AIM-9M will almost always make short work of them if they are manoeuvring around your frontal hemisphere. All in all, the F.3 Late serves as a direct upgrade in offensive capability over the previous Tornado F.3, giving British aircraft players access to new and advanced weaponry on an already familiar platform.

=== Pros and cons ===
'''Pros:'''

* Chaff/Flare pods allow the plane to carry 352 countermeasures, 32 of which are large caliber
* Access to Aim-120B and Aim-9M at 13.3
* Strong engines and light weight make for high acceleration
* Features an advanced RWR with tracking and launch detection
* 4 Datalink channels allow the plane to guide all of its AMRAAMs at once

*

'''Cons:'''

* Engines are very fuel thirsty
* Will regularly be uptiered into 13.7 matches
* Cannot equip any ground attack ordinance at all
* Very low turn rate, low enough that avoiding missiles at close range, even with countermeasures, is a challenge
* BK27 has a relatively low fire rate compared to other top tier cannons

*

== History ==
The Tornado F3, a crucial part of the RAF's air defense, underwent significant changes throughout its service, facing structural challenges and essential upgrades. Following the Gulf War, the Tornado F3 experienced accelerated fatigue due to intense combat conditions, which exceeded its initial design expectations. As a result, the airframes began wearing out faster than anticipated. Initially, BAe Systems was contracted to upgrade 15 airframes, but the subsequent batch was awarded to Airwork Services, which performed the upgrades at St Athan.

Soon after, the first four upgraded Tornado F3s (ZE292, ZE295, ZE343, and ZE728) exhibited structural problems. Pilots reported abnormal behavior, leading to the discovery of significant damage. Further inspections revealed 12 additional damaged airframes. Though scrapping these aircraft was initially considered, an innovative solution emerged: using the center sections of F2 airframes in storage at St Athan. This successful modification, starting with ZE154 and F2 ZD901, allowed the damaged F3s to return to service.

On March 24, 1993, a significant milestone was reached when the RAF accepted ZH559, the last Tornado built for the RAF, which remained in service until 2008. The next major upgrade involved fitting the F3 with AMRAAM and ASRAAM missiles under the Capability Sustainment Programme (CSP) awarded to BAe in 1997. This £125 million program upgraded the missile management system and main computer, providing the F3 with fire-and-forget capability and enhancing its combat effectiveness. Additional upgrades included towed radar decoys and trials with ALARM missiles on 11 Squadron aircraft.

Leclerc AZUR

== Description ==

The '''Leclerc Action en Zone URbaine (AZUR)''' is an urban warfare modification of the Tropicalized Leclerc, which is the fifth variant of the [[Leclerc (Family)|Leclerc main battle tank family]]. The Tropicalized Leclerc variant is predominantly employed by the UAE Army and has various enhancements that improve its capacity to fight in humid tropical and scorching desert environments. The tank is powered by a EuroPowerPack 1,100 kW MT883 diesel engine manufactured by the German MTU Friedrichshafen company, as the UAE has an interest in the company and wants the engine produced by them. The fuel capacity has also increased. An externally mounted diesel auxiliary power unit with a tank infantry telephone is installed on its armoured box. On the left side of the hull, an engine-driven mechanical heavy-duty air conditioner is also installed. The commander sights have been customized to include an HL-80 commander panoramic sight, Alis thermal imaging equipment, and a laser rangefinder. An Armement Télé-Opéré remote-controlled weapon station with a 7.62 mm FN MAG light machine gun operated under-armour by the HL-80 panoramic sight is also placed on the roof of the turret. All of these enhancements are completed by the AZUR urban warfare add-on armour kit, which principally comprises explosive-reactive armour (ERA) blocks on the tank's flanks and slat armour shielding the engine.

Introduced in [[Update "Sons of Attila"]], the Leclerc Action en Zone URbaine (AZUR) incorporates further enhancements over earlier variants. Protection against high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) warheads from enemies is greatly enhanced with AZUR ERA blocks around the tank's sides and slat armour around the engine. However, such ERA blocks provide little protection against typical armour-piercing fin-stabilised discarding sabot (APFSDS) fired from enemy tanks, making it necessary to be vigilant during engagements. Since the new armour package increased the vehicle's overall combat weight, its manoeuvrability is slightly slower.

{{main|GIAT CN120-26 F1 (120 mm)}}

The Leclerc AZUR mounts a 120 mm GIAT CN120-26/52 smoothbore cannon, fitted with a two-plane stabilizer and an autoloading system. The CN120 is a competitive cannon, displaying excellent performance with the OFL 120 F1 APFSDS round, up to a maximum of 575 mm of penetration at 0°. Combined with the consistent 6-second reload (independent of crew), this 120 mm cannon is more than competitive when compared to the offerings on its contemporaries. However, it's important to note that the OFL 120 F1 round is a tier 4 modification, and as such a stock Leclerc will be required to use the OCC 120 G1 HEAT-FS round - which, while capable, can prove somewhat unreliable when used against late vehicles with ERA and composite armour.

== Usage in battles ==

''As with other Leclerc MBTs, the AZUR will want to exploit its high top speed and quick reload to quickly dispatch enemies from unexpected positions. While the AZUR armor kit offers more side protection than any other Leclerc, its ERA sideskirts will not offer much protection against the APFSDS rounds or tandem charge missiles that are extremely common at its BR and as such should be considered more of a safety net than a real defense strategy. Although you maintain the edge on reload speed over every other MBT besides Type 10s, Challenger 2's, and M1 Abrams' (the latter two require aced crews to be equal with you), attempting to brawl in the Leclerc is not advised due to its large weakspots requiring minimal aim from your opponent. The best strategy in the Leclerc is to use your high mobility to obtain a strong firing position early in the match and your decent optics and quick reload to locate and destroy targets while presenting as little opportunities for counter fire as possible.''

=== Pros and cons ===
'''Pros:'''

* High top speed
* Thickest side armor of any Leclerc with AZUR ERA protecting the crew compartment and cage armor protecting the engine compartment
* Well hidden and quick autoloader
* Can take 22 rounds of ammo without utilizing hull ammo racks
* First Leclerc with a roof mounted machine gun can offer defense against low flying threats (Even if it is only a 7.62mm)

*

'''Cons:'''

* Doesn't feature the improved turret armor found on the Leclerc SXXI
* Large frontal weak spots leave the tank vulnerable to even higher penetrating autocannons
* Even the thickest parts of the armor struggles to stop most top tier APFSDS at close range close range
* Heaviest of all the Leclercs and does not offset this with increased frontal protection
* Only three crewmen limits survivability

== Description ==

The '''Leclerc Action en Zone URbaine (AZUR)''' is an urban warfare modification of the Tropicalized Leclerc, which is the fifth variant of the [[Leclerc (Family)|Leclerc main battle tank family]]. The Tropicalized Leclerc variant is predominantly employed by the UAE Army and has various enhancements that improve its capacity to fight in humid tropical and scorching desert environments. The tank is powered by a EuroPowerPack 1,100 kW MT883 diesel engine manufactured by the German MTU Friedrichshafen company, as the UAE has an interest in the company and wants the engine produced by them. The fuel capacity has also increased. An externally mounted diesel auxiliary power unit with a tank infantry telephone is installed on its armoured box. On the left side of the hull, an engine-driven mechanical heavy-duty air conditioner is also installed. The commander sights have been customized to include an HL-80 commander panoramic sight, Alis thermal imaging equipment, and a laser rangefinder. An Armement Télé-Opéré remote-controlled weapon station with a 7.62 mm FN MAG light machine gun operated under-armour by the HL-80 panoramic sight is also placed on the roof of the turret. All of these enhancements are completed by the AZUR urban warfare add-on armour kit, which principally comprises explosive-reactive armour (ERA) blocks on the tank's flanks and slat armour shielding the engine.

Introduced in [[Update "Sons of Attila"]], the Leclerc Action en Zone URbaine (AZUR) incorporates further enhancements over earlier variants. Protection against high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) warheads from enemies is greatly enhanced with AZUR ERA blocks around the tank's sides and slat armour around the engine. However, such ERA blocks provide little protection against typical armour-piercing fin-stabilised discarding sabot (APFSDS) fired from enemy tanks, making it necessary to be vigilant during engagements. Since the new armour package increased the vehicle's overall combat weight, its manoeuvrability is slightly slower.

== General info ==
=== Survivability and armour ===
{{Specs-Tank-Armour}}

''Describe armour protection. Note the most well protected and key weak areas. Appreciate the layout of modules as well as the number and location of crew members. Is the level of armour protection sufficient, is the placement of modules helpful for survival in combat? If necessary use a visual template to indicate the most secure and weak zones of the armour.''

Leclerc AZUR

2024-09-27T02:04:13Z

U8491194: Added "Usage in battles" and "Pros and cons" sections

Active protection systems

2023-09-30T01:50:33Z

U8491194: Added KF41

==Introduction==
{{main|:Category:Ground vehicles with active protection system|l1=Ground vehicles equipped with an active protection system}}
[[Update "Wind of Change"]] added active protection systems ('''APS''') to ground vehicles. These devices provide automatic defense against [[ATGM]]s. While it is possible to shoot down incoming ATGMs manually, particularly using machine guns, this can be difficult against fast-moving or minimally visible missiles; thus, active protection systems provide an extra layer of security against ATGM threats. There are two categories of APS:

* A '''softkill''' system will not destroy the incoming projectile, but disturb its guiding system so that it will miss the target.
* A '''hardkill''' system tries to detect and destroy the projectile itself by firing a defensive charge at the incoming projectile.

== Electro-optical APS ==
Electro-optical APS (also known as "soft-kill APS" or "infrared countermeasures" (IRCM)) are a group of active protection systems that utilise light emitters to disrupt the guidance of incoming missiles.

Electro-optical APS acts on SACLOS-guided missiles that do not feature an electronic counter-countermeasure (ECCM) system:

== Hard-kill APS ==

=== Drozd ===
[[File:Drozd.jpg|thumb|Interface showing available amount of charges for the drozd APS.]]
Drozd is a constantly active APS which provides protection against a wide variety of threats. It is composed of three major pieces: a Doppler radar array for target detection, charge launchers on the sides of the turret, and an electronics piece on the turret's rear. It detects targets in front and engages them inside a 7 m distance. The main disadvantage of this system is that it follows the direction of the turret, meaning it can only successfully destroy targets that in the line of sight.

Drozd can be used while on the move (although the turret must be facing the target as stated before). While on the move (especially horizontally), the detected ATGM has a risk of escaping the activation range of the Drozd. When moving towards an enemy who fired an ATGM, it will be affected by the APS but due to momentum, the ATGM can still damage the tank even when destroyed. Drozd must have a clear line-of-sight with the enemy threat (at least APS must be exposed).
