The british armor is the best in the world and there is no questioning that, but im still mighty suspicious that the challengers 2 FCS is still a little behind the Abrhams.

Does the C2 use depleted uranium shells?

CHARM-3

Couldn't find anything on T-100.
However, there is another conceptual Russian tank T-95

What makes you suspicious? Make sure you're comparing the Challenger 2E, as that's the latest model, and the one that would be offered should any country want to buy one.

(Yes, the C2 uses depleted uranium shells, and the gun is to be upgraded soon as well).

 

[zander_0633]

I saw a program on discovery, the top ten MBT in the world. Basically, all the tanks have problems.

The Merkava is apparently excellent in Israeli terrain, and urban situations, but its weight and poor fuel efficiency make it unusable for expeditionary forces.

The Abrams gets a prety good qrap, NATO interchangable etc, but it runs on a jet engine, meaning its fuel efficiency is terrible, and it has weak spots, like the exhaust, that can cause the bugger to....explode....in one hit.

The challenger got a good wrap, mainly because its battle tested and its armor is awesome, but its not user friendly.

They rated the Leo II number one because it has reasonably good armor, excellent weapons and comms systems, is fast, has good fuel economy, its compact but most importantly it is easy as to drive. Easier than a car apparently.

Check out the show if uve got cable, they do the top ten of some of the coolest machines and stuff.

Well, I think on some other thread I read this before! And the Leo II is the best tank! Sadly, not many countries own it! Deutschland Uber Alles!

[AlexKall]

Ah, thought Turky had only older leopards, good to know they changed to a bit newer Leos

 

[zander_0633]

Well, does 12 countries count as alot? Wads the type that most country have?

 

[major liability]

I believe the real designation for the Black Eagle is T-80UM2.

 

[zander_0633]

Black eagle? the F-15E?
