At 70km/h, 20.6 metres. For ordinary cars it’s ~50m.
In a nutshell, a tracked vehicle has quite a bit more contact area with the ground, it’s also kind of hard to lift the rear wheels up so you can apply a lot of break force before you start to skid etc. And Leos have the hardware to actually do that, there’s a retarder in the drive train and additional disc brakes.

Have side views on dirt and on tarmac.
Wow, that’s almost a full G of acceleration in a heavily armoured vehicle. Tracks are crazy. I wonder how hot the brake pads get in the process.
