@FUCK SHIT The same Ariete tank that came 4th in that competition while Abrams 5th ahahahahah

[@simoneorilio5052]

@FUCK SHIT Dude this how it's really works: the old C1 everyone knows isn't one of the best, but is still a good heavy tank, is pretty much outdated but also everyone knows that for Italian purposes for the future the C1 is more than enought since we are not going to a real war any soon, for fighting talibans the C1 is more than enought XD. In any case the problems of the C1 are the armor, the aiming system, the lower speed compared to an Abrams or Leopard (65 km / h against 75) and the lower rotation speed of the turret. All of these issues will be fixed with the Ariete update. The current Iveco engines will change with new and more powerful ones so as to be able to reach those speeds (75 / 80km / h) even with greater armor. For more armor, 2 kits (PSO and WAR) are already available, both of which will need to be mounted. The turret rotation system will be the same as the brand new B2 Centauro currently considered by experts to be among the best if not the best fire support light tank in the world, as well as: cannon (which respects the latest NATO ammunition standards) aiming systems, night vision, thermal, on-board computer, JAMMER ... Practically all the latest technological discoveries of the C2 Centauro XD. In this way we would be able to maintain the operational capabilities required by the NATO missions for the next 10/15 years without having to redesign a new tank from scratch and with the interchangeable components between B2 Centauro and C1 Ariete (a lot of money saved). In the meantime, we can start planning a future C2 Ariete or we can contribute to the project and adopt a new European tank (this was also talked about in Europe). I would like to remind you that Italy has always respected NATO standards and, unlike other countries in the alliance, has always participated in all its missions; in Afghanistan we control the western part of the country (the one around Harat) one of the most dangerous since in addition to the Taliban there are also many opium traffickers (not too happy about our presence) and, if the United States will leave the country and ISAF, we will go from being second for controlled km2 to first.

@Legio XXI Rapax It was ok when it was developed, but today it's old, it never got modenised. I mean in 2020 the gunner still has an obsolete first generation thermal sight. While the commander doesn't have thermal sights at all. The armor in the turret front is only 450-550 mm against APFSDS, while the hull doesn't have composite armor at all, only 50 mm of steel.

[@neutronalchemist3241]

It's due to Italian geography and cold war scenario. The Centauro was originally created because, due to cold war, much of the Italian Army was deployed on the nort-eastern border with Jugoslavia, but what if the Varsaw Pact would have attempted a landing across the 45 miles of the Otranto Strait that separates the heel of Italy from Albania? A tank can't really cover the 900km that separates Friuli form Puglia on its tracks and then fight, and it needed time to load them on trains. A wheeled vehicle instead could cover that distance in few hours, and provide heavy fire to harass the invaders. until the arrival of the armoured forces. Post cold-war scenarios favoured those kind of vehicles, so Italy had an advantage.

I think the Italian CENTAUTRO is the best, it has the best gun power, as well as the armor and mobility. But this list is not fair since the TOP 4 were wheeled tanks acctually, they were essentially the turret of a tank plus the chassis of a wheeled vehicle, with better armor, mobility and fire control system. But the latter list, especially the three Chinese vehicles, is defined by the PLA as a kind of "Wheeld Armoured Support Vehicle", with only lightweight armour and simplified fire control system, designed primarily to support infantry assault rather than counter armour. In the PLA establishment, when a light armour combat is required, the first choice will be the Type 15 light tank (35 ton class), but not these wheeled armoured vehicles.

[@centauroii257]

Thanks bro

[@yuumetal2363]

sorry. no. Type 16 maneuver combat vehicle also has 105 mm L/52 gun and its newer. i has better mobile power and better fire control system that the recoil control technology, fire control system, and other technologies from Type 10 tanks have been appropriated, and when the vehicle is aimed at a target, the turret moves while the main gun is pointed at the target even if the vehicle body moves, thus providing a high hit rate while the vehicle is moving.

[@bornonthebattlefront4883]

The Top 4 of this list does not have the turret of a tank, they don’t have but less then 100mm of armor It’s just a big turret to handle the much more advanced targeting systems, the bigger guns and a more ergonomic crew layout

For the ignorants who complain about C1 Ariete or they say: " I didn't know italian military industry was this good" there's some facts: 1st Leonardo, Fincantieri, Iveco-Oto melara, Beretta&partners are one of the finest military industries in the world and italian military industries can't get more orders for next few years because we cannot meet demand with current infrastructure, the real problem is that we are selling weapons to aggressive countries like Pakistan, Saudi Arabia (unoffically in war with Yemen), Turkey, Egypt exc. thanks to permission given by some old governments with contracts already stipulated, (especially Renzi government) ethically not the best but let's say that money is money. 2nd the old C1 everyone knows isn't one of the best, but is still a good heavy tank, is pretty much outdated but also everyone knows that for Italian purposes for the future the C1 is more than enought since we are not going to a real war any soon, for fighting talibans the C1 is more than enought XD.

[@callsignfives4403]

No Rooikat?

[@N.Sniper]

There could have been no other number 1 then Centauro II. The Rooikat is missing in this list. The name of the MCV is Type 15 and I Centauro B1 120mm could be left out of this list as it was not in service but just a testbed towards Centauro II. Number 9 and 10 are basically the same vehicle, just a slightly newer variant. Centauro B1 and II are probably different enough for separate listing.

Exactly and having seen it in Chad in 1983, it is an incredible armored vehicle, it is very fast, it can lower its wheels from left to right and front to back ... It is a formidable, fast blind. with good firepower ....

I think the South African roycat is better than some vehicle in the list

[@dennisw8166]

Yup

[@chrisengelbrecht3156]

You are correct far better and far more advanced in some aspects yes. And was cheaper to develop and actually works. Unlike the useless "Stryker "

Sorry to disappoint but the South African Rooikat will wipe the floor with all of the top 10. It is available in 76 mm, 105 mm and they designed a 120 mm version. It also out range all of the top 10(range - 2000 km) and speed(road speed 135 km\h est.).....

[@neutronalchemist3241]

Rooikat 105 is only a prototype never developed. currently Rooikat only has a 76mm gun.

[@kannondonkie4087]

@@neutronalchemist3241The 120mm is also a prototype but still it as an available option. Most of the upgrades to the vehicles is not for the SANDF but develop for posibble export market interest( not that there were any). Thanks

[@cyrilchui2811]

@AckeyHacker you mean the Jager 2, right? Need to research it, for unknown reason, they were phased out in 1993 without replacement

[@neutronalchemist3241]

It's due to Italian geography and cold war scenario. The Centauro was originally created because, due to cold war, much of the Italian Army was deployed on the nort-eastern border with Jugoslavia, but what if the Varsavia Pact would have attempted a landing across the 45 miles of the Otranto Strait that separates the heel of Italy from Albania? A tank can't really cover the 900km that separates Friuli form Puglia on its tracks and then fight, and it needed time to load them on trains. A wheeled vehicle instead could cover that distance in few hours, and provide heavy fire to harass the invaders. until the arrival of the armoured forces. Instead WW3 Germany was considered a too tough scenario for a wheeled vehicle to survive, and with little room for mobile warfare at all.

This is the future of tanks, because ATGM's, drones and helicopter gunships have made the MBT vulnerable. Also 'running tracks' are expensive. The world has changed there are roads everywhere.

Ehh no not really MBTs are still the future atgms are no longer as effective cause of APS and drones can be easily shot down by AA and friendly planes, while fire support vehicles are needed they can't do it alone

ok Italy time to update the venerable Ariete

[@raptor2-40delta2]

There’s already a project and funds to upgrade the Ariete, it will be fitted with the same high pressure gun as the Centauro 2 (the one at the first place) and will also receive completely new systems.. the update will serve to bring the Ariete till a new tank is developed

[@lorenzo4408]

yeah, the first 3 prototypes are going to be upgraded by 2022 then if they are ok we will upgrade 125 Ariete on a total of 200 to keep them till 2030.

[@met71metaldetector55]

Non è l'ariete 2 ma si chiama aggiornamento di mezza vita mlu aspettando il nuovo carro armato europeo tra non meno di 15/20 anni o se ne aggiorneranno 125 mbt perché resterànno in servizio anche dopo l'introduzione del carro europeo visto che l'aggiornamento di mezza vita corrisponde a 25 anni quindi resterà in servizio l'ariete c1 mlu per altri 25 anni

The Chinese really need to work on the names of their weapon systems. Sure, everybody has their standard, boring alpha-numeric designations, but China should think about adding actual names like "Red Death Meteors", "Combat Panda", or "Rabid Cloud Dragons". Then they'd be cool like the rest of the world. Oh, and they need to lose the whitewall tires.
