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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@BFVsnypEz]

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.

T-14 Armata is third best on this list, it has been years since it came out. They must have produced hundreds and hundreds of them by now!!! Funny thing, no one has seen it in live combat, wonder why??? Maybe it is just as good as the aircraft carrier Russia has built which continues to catch on fire!!!

[@D0gmatik]

KF-51, sep3 was in combat?

[@hammerfist8763]

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.

Well, the thing which surprised me the most in this video is the fact she doesn't say a word on the huge advantage the Leclerc XL has on his counterparts. He's the only tank which can shoot at full speed, on every type of terrain with 98% accuracy meanwhile all the others must slow down near halfspeed and only have 50%. It's not the best tank but shouldn't be 7th on this list.

[@Senaleb]

Abrams can shoot accurately on the move as well, it's got smart stabilization.

[@RandomGuy9]

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.

[@craigkdillon]

Putting T-14 Armata high on this list destroys its credibility. The T-14 has not shown up for battle in the Russo-Ukraine War. Too many questions about production quality and maintenance to be included.

Leclerc is a Rolls Royce, Leopard is a 4x4. You don't to war with a Rolls Royce, that's why Leopards are the most common and the ones Ukraine is asking for. Even if the Leclerc is better in every aspect.

[@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. Most of the armour engaged has been the breakaway provinces vehicles. We shall know when the dam breaks if the MSM tell us..remember they have been pushing a false narrative.
