In the network there were photos of the French tank AMX-56 "Leclerc" with a 140-millimeter gun. On the pictures posted in the blog ftr. Wot-news, there are noticeable external differences, including the increased length of the trunk, the caliber of the gun and the increased dimensions of the tower. Information about the development of this modification has not yet been reported. A new combat compartment with a cannon caliber of 140 millimeters was named "Terminator". The weight of the tank in this version is 60 tons, ammunition - 31 rounds. A new weapon was created in the Bourges weapons development and production center, which is now the branch of the Nexter concern. At present, new generation tanks are being developed in Europe, initiated by the appearance of the Russian T-14 tank on the universal crawler platform Armata. In the summer of 2015, two European manufacturers of armored vehicles - the German firm Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) and the French Nexter Systems - agreed to establish a joint concern. The new company will be called KANT (KMW and Nexter Together), the headquarters of the concern will be located in Amsterdam. In the summer of 2016 in Germany, was demonstrated 130-millimeter gun with a barrel length of 51 caliber, developed by Rheinmetall Weapon and Munition.

According to the developer, the gun is constructed from the calculation of the maximum possible caliber permissible for the new combat compartment of the tank with the installation of its tower on the standard shoulder strap of the Leopard 2 machines (in order to modernize the existing tanks without reworking the hull). It will also be installed on a promising Franco-German joint development tank.
