Top 10 Main Battle Tanks in the world now (Military Episodes-4)

1. K2 Black Panther (South Korea)

In the mid of 1990s South Korean government decided to begin developing a domestically designed & produced tank. Result was the Hyundai built K2-Black Panther which was operational by 2013-14. At first glance the K2 does look like a Western tank with a large rectangular chassis & turret closely resembling the Leopard 2 & Leclerc. It used  a license built version of the Leopard 120mm smoothbore gun as well as 1500hp German diesel  engine. the tank  fires around 10 rounds a minute.

2. T-90AM (Russia)

In the Soviet era T-72 tank was & continues to be the backbone of many tank forces around the world. Over the last decades T-72 was upgraded & improved on a regular basis to remain competitive with Western designs. In the mid 1990s the design had been upgraded so much that Russian designers decided it warranted a new model  ‘The T-90’.  

3. M1A2 SEPv2 (USA)

Out of all of the tanks on the list the M1 Abrams is far the most battle proven. In the service since 1980, the M1 is an older design constant upgrades have kept it at the top of the list when it come to ability & sophistication. The M1A2 SEPv2 used the 120mm smoothbore gun found in many Western tanks & can fire explosive & advanced armor piercing rounds reportedly capable of defeating the most modern armors.

4. Merkava IVm (Israel)

Israel was reliant on obtaining tanks from outside countries. Battlefield experience over the last decades led Israel planners to push for a domestically designed & produced tank that met the needs of the Israeli defence Force. The result was Merkava series of tanks. The latest model of this tank is -Merkava IVm. This particular tank has a crew of four & can hold several more soldiers inside.

5. Type 10 (Japan)

In the world of modern military, Japanese forces often get overlooked. Because the Japanese military is designed as a defensive force & its products are not exported as US & Russian equipment is. Nonetheless  the Japanese have produced a new & rather sophisticated MBT in the shape of the Type -10. Classified as advanced third generation or next generation tank, the Type 10 entered service in 2012. Compared with Japans previous tanks the Type 10 is a huge step forward in mobility, firepower & protection.

6. Leopard 2A7+ (Germany)

Entering service in 1979 the Leopard-2 is an old tank but remains one of the best all around weapons on the market. The current 2-A7+ model takes all of the abilities of the previous versions & incorporate improvements which came about as a result of experience using tanks in urban warfare: – like Iraq. This Leopard 2 is armed with a 120mm gun which fires a range of ammunition including the ability to fire the Israeli made LAHAT guided missiles. The gun is fully stabilized & linked to a laser range finding system: – all of which allows the tank to hit a target up to 5km while on the move. An integrated command & information system  along with enhanced daylight & thermal sites give the newest Leopard 2 an advantage on the battlefield when it come to hunting other tanks. 

7. Challenger 2 (Great Britain)

In service 1998, the British Challenger- 2 is often stated to be the best protected tank in the world. This is thank to its highly classified ‘Dorchester’ armor which is said to be a composite of ceramic & various metals layered together. The Challenger 2 armor is so strong that more than one occasion in Iraq it withstood a barrage of enemy rocket propelled grenades. Only 1 has ever been destroyed & that was thanks to friendly fire from another Challenger 2. This tank is also equipped with explosive reactive armor modules. 

8. AMX-56 Leclerc (France)

 Leclerc entered French service in 1992 & today there are over 400 serving with the French military & over 350 with the United Arab Emirates. For much of its production runs the Leclerc was the most expensive tank in the world. This tank is unusual for a Western design MBT in that it uses an autoloader. This autoloader is very fast & can reportedly load up to 12 rounds a minute for the 120mm gun. An all digital fire control system allows the gunners to pick out six targets & engage them all in a little over 30 second. Thermal sights & laser range finders all help in identifying & targeting the enemy is as far out as four kilometers. Armor on the newest models of this tank includes tungsten & titanium modules & explosive reactive armor module. All of these sophisticated- technology is further protected by laser & missile warning systems as well as infrared decoys & anti-personnel grenades.

9. Type 99 A2 (China)

Chinese tanks of the last 50 years have not been considered sophisticated especially by Russian & American standards. This resulted fact that for much of this time Chinese tanks were developed & reverse engineered from captured / covertly obtained tanks. The result was often a tank that looked like a Soviet or Russian design but was far inferior in every respects. 

10. T-84 Oplot-M (Ukraine)

After  the collapse of the -Soviet Union, Ukraine left with a tank factory in Kharkov which had been producing T-80UD main battle tank (MBT). In effort to develop their own tank, it was decided to take the T80 design & modify its design to meet the need of the Ukrainian military. The result was the T84 which  evolved into the T84 Oplot-M.
