@defaviaspace: The Leclerc tank uses an autoloader with its ready ammunition stored inside a protected bustle compartment at the rear of the turret, isolated from the crew by armored bulkheads. In contrast, the Russian T-90 and Chinese Type 99 rely on carousel autoloaders beneath the crew, although some ammunition reserves may be stored in rear turret compartments. This arrangement gives the Leclerc an important survivability advantage by reducing the risk of catastrophic crew losses after ammunition penetration. #leclerc #forupage #frenchstyle
