The conflict in Ukraine has reignited interest in main battle tanks. The EMBT ADT 140, showcased at the Eurosatory defense expo, mounts a 140mm main gun, making it one of the largest on any tank. This adaptation is in response to modern threats, including the prevalence of drones.

Developed by KNDS, a partnership between Germany's Krauss-Maffei Wegmann and France's Nexter, the EMBT ADT 140 boasts a Leopard 2 chassis and the advanced Nexter 140mm main gun in an unmanned turret. This sophisticated setup enhances survivability and firepower.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine has highlighted the growing significance of drones in warfare. The EMBT ADT 140’s diversified armament layout, including a 20mm and 30mm cannon, aims to mitigate threats posed by small, agile drones, ensuring enhanced battlefield versatility.

The resurgence of tank competition involves modernizing existing designs and introducing new ones. The EMBT stands out with its enhanced firepower and versatility, engineered to tackle varied threats on the battlefield effectively.
