The Top 10 Best Tanks In 2023-2024 (Main Battle Tanks)

Because their crews are safe from missiles, bullets, shrapnel, and explosions, tanks have been a game-changer for many armies around the world in every battle. Modern armament systems, including turreted high calibre cannons, machine guns, anti-tank guided missiles, and even rockets, provide each tank a competitive edge in the fields of firepower, mobility, and strength. Several criteria, like as artificial intelligence and remote operational capability, were utilised to determine the 10 best main battle tanks in the world for 2023-24.

I dunno in what universe the SEP2 or SEP3 could weigh 62 tons. Our SEP2's (more like SEP1.5's) were 69 without fuel & ammo. GD flew parts, upgrades & SEP2 addons out to FOB Marez in Mosul while we were deployed and our mechanics added what they could between missions. We had most of the SEP2 functionality and all the up-armor. Add urban combat package and the additional belly armor like mine had, and you're at 80 tons, battle-loaded, for a SEP2. The SEP3's are heavier than SEP2's, so... gotta up that weight estimate a little. 72 would be very conservative for a SEP3. It's all academic, now, anyway that they finally going with the M1E3.

[@stevensrhester8594]

I think that in order to be called a top tank, it should meet a few essential criteria. It should be in general production or have at least 500 units in active service. It should have seen combat and performed well against enemy armor. It should have a high availability rate (i.e.: not broken down, and able to go into combat). If it is so complicated that it can't withstand the rigors of training or combat,. If it can't, then what good is it? The T-14 Armada shouldn't be on this list because even though it was revealed in 2015, how come there are less than 100 in existence? Many of these tanks like the KF-51 is still in development but the Leopard 7 should be included. If you titled this video "Next generation tanks coming on line," then all can be included. So let's keep this limited to the tanks actually in production and on the battle field right now.

The tank still have some flaws. It is new and China doesn't have much experiencing with building tanks.

[@wailunau9076]

It was T96 at the Russia competition not T99A. T96 is the cheaper version for mass production. The newest model is T99A. Russia did not allow T99 to join the competition because Russians don't want T99 to win it.

[@joefreeman9733]

The best tanks up to 2023 are unqestionably the Merkova the Abrams and the Challenger based on numbers usage operational losses to the enemy and service records. The article seeks to examine the best tanks going forward. Likely these will be the Armata 14 when debugged and produced in significant numbers the Abrams in some varient the Leopard in some varient and the South Korean K2 of which Poland just ordered 700. Right now the Chinese Thpe 99 is an unknown quantity. All of the tanks listed are good all have advantages and disadvantages in certain operating conditions and all depend on the training and ability of their crews.

[@englishalan222]

If the Type 99 is made in Chiva it will probably barely move.

What I've heard from anyone who has served in, or worked on Abrams tanks, it sounds like they are piles of crap. Reading war stories, they were missing half of the equipment and hardware that they were supposed to have, and the other half wasnt hooked up or working. They guzzle gas like no other, and don't like sand and heat. Historically, the US isn't exactly renowned for making quality tanks. They just make a LOT of them.

[@robertkowalski7932]

T14 Armata has a poorly armored turret, such a tank is easy to eliminate on the battlefield. Plus a weak engine and not proven in battle autoloader. In theory and in parades it is beautifully, worse in combat.

[@robertkowalski7932]

And I would like to see how you knead mud or snow in Ukraine on this heavy tank with low specific power. But we will all see it soon. There is a video of how a lighter Abrams cannot drive up a snow-covered hill. Maybe the Brit will do better. It will also be interesting to see how a tank with shots unique to it. will work with Ukrainian logistics.

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

It is heavier than e.g. the Leo 2 and the Leclerc but has an engine with 300 fewer horsepower than both, thus making it much slower than the two. How is that better?

[@jamesglass4842]

Leopard isn’t that good as they can be defeated by RPGs. Considering what is being sent ..it’s all going to be 1 to 10 or far more than that ratio in favour of t Russian Army that is massing possibly 600’000 men at the moment.

In real. The best tank is a cheap, massive, relatively light and simple tank, with the possibility of field repairs and movement on civilian bridges and roads. It is wrong to call the best tanks, which were built less than 3 dozen units, which require their own infrastructure, and high-tech sites and engineers with higher education are needed for maintenance.

[@santakosoundsystem7542]

It depends entirely on the characteristics of the conflict: geographical context, technological means of the enemy, availability of spare soldiers, …

[@benjammin3381]

By that logic the T-34 should be the best tank of ww2 yet it was incredibly cramped, hard to use(crew were practically blind) and the USSR lost nearly 90% of 50000+ made during the war. It was hard to survive too compared to US or german tanks since it sacrifised escape hatches for sloped armor which didnt even do its job properly contrary to what tank documentaries would have you believe. It broke down more often than the tiger too yet you never hear about it.

[@dimushka383]

​@@benjammin3381 Where did you find such fairy tales? Read serious sources and not political articles by people far from technology.

[@benjammin3381]

@@dimushka383 I did. Stalin himself issued this order: ‘Our armored forces and their units frequently suffer greater losses through mechanical breakdowns than they do in battle. For example, at Stalingrad Front in six days twelve of our tank brigades lost 326 out of their 400 tanks. Of those about 260 owed to mechanical problems. Many of the tanks were abandoned on the battlefield. Similar instances can be observed on other fronts. Since such a high incidence of mechanical defects is implausible, the Supreme Headquarters sees in it covert sabotage and wrecking by certain elements in the tank crews who try to exploit small mechanical troubles to avoid battle. Henceforth, every tank leaving the battlefield for alleged mechanical reasons was to be gone over by technicians, and if sabotage was suspected, the crews were to be put into tank punishment companies or "degraded to the infantry" and put into infantry punishment companies.'
