France and Germany on Friday signed a deal to jointly develop a new battle tank that the Agence France-Presse news agency said has been 'billed as a game changer in modern warfare.'The advanced tank project is called the Main Ground Combat System , and plans shared by the two North Atlantic Treaty Organization members indicate it will include protective drones, as well as employ artificial intelligence and laser technology.
'Talks to build the MGCS have been ongoing for years, with Germany and France initially agreeing to build the tank in 2017. The armored fighting vehicles are meant to eventually replace French Leclerc and German Leopard tanks.After some delays, Lecornu and Pistorius announced in March that their countries had agreed on how to divide the work on the MGCS to move forward with the project.
