In the previous episode we discussed the development of America's current main battle tank, the M1 Abrams. Though many tout that tank as the best in the world its European counterparts often offer stiff competition. One particular rival has been vying to knock the American contender out of the scene even before the US accepted the Abrams for service. That tank is the German manufactured Leopard 2. In this video we will cross the Atlantic in order to learn the story behind this feline and discover why to many it is considered to be the best modern tank in the world.

I might add though, that every modern MBT is incredible and that differences mostly exist on paper in numbers, not so much in reality. In reality a T-90, Leo 2 or M1 all can do what the other can and can't do what the others also can't do.

While I agree the Leopard does outmatch the Abrams in many regards, there is a slight difficulty in trying to compare the two MBT's, the reason for this difficulty is due to the nature of necessity, at the time that the Abrams was being developed, there was a very noticeable need for armor and crew protection due to the M60 being a very outdated tank. I personally feel that in order to give the tanks a proper comparison, you would need to find why they set the certain requirements for the tank. If I remember correctly, you listed the full list of criteria's in the previous video, but these are the ones that I noticed stuck out. At least from what I have gathered, the US wanted 3 things that heavily weighed the outcome- Crew Protection, because it doesn't matter how good the tank is if the crew can't stay alive. Cost, in order to roll out 'X' number of tanks needed, they needed to meet a certain price criteria otherwise, it also makes it easier to promote the manufacturing of the equipment as it provides additional in-state jobs, thus gaining more support of the people, senate, press, ect. And lastly, a noticeable upgrade in overall protection against weapons such as depleted uranium shells, tungsten-core shells, RPG-7's, IEDs and landmines; all while still having enough mobility to react to given situations of war. I do agree that the first shot will likely determine the battle, but that was probably one of the reasons there was a focus for armoring the Abrams up so much, this way even a lesser skilled crew could survive a direct hit and react to contact accordingly. Obviously this is all personal opinion based on what I've read and learned so take it all with a grain of salt.

@MatthewChenault 3 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
Also, many Leopard 2 fans overlook that the Leopard 2 still retains the same issue with ammunition storage being at the front of the vehicle. A lucky shot in the front or at the left side can easily send the entire tank erupting in a massive explosion, which is far more likely to kill the crew than something like a fuel tank fire. The M1βs fire issue is an easier system to overcome, since, even if one starts, itβs relatively easy to get out of the tank and, most important of all, the ammunition can be ejected to prevent total loss of the vehicle and its crew.

In the 1980βs, the Leopard 2A4 edged off as the βbest tankβ due to some minor differences between it and then M1A1. Once 1992 hit, the US released the first M1A2s into service and in β93, had the best firepower among all tanks, being the only ones capable of defeating K-5 at combat range. In 1999, Germany unveiled the Leopard 2A5 and the pendulum once again swung back in their direction. This would only last a couple years before M1A2 SEP with M829A3 entered service. Since then, the Leopard 2 never really eclipsed the Abrams afterwards. Their tungsten ammunition was still considerably inferior even with the L/55 at the release of 2A6. It gets dicy when talking about 2A6M and 2A7, but M1A2 SEPv3 is currently the most advanced NATO tank in service right now, and M829A4 is currently the best 120 mm ammunition in the world. Germany is developing new ammunition and modifications to their breech to allow them to fire higher pressure ammo called KE2020NEO or DM73A1. This should supposedly match M829A4 roughly, albeit over 5 years late and with a longer barrel. But if the gun and FCS department were the only areas the Leopard 2 bested the Abrams, they certainly lost that spot after the 80βs.

Sorry but thats not really true. the 2a6 tungsten ammo isnt really inferior at all. also using depleted uranium at all(in whatever it is,armor or ammo) is the most stupid fucking thing. the only good thing about it is that its cheap af. on the downside: higher cancer rates among crew and population where this ammo gets fired.

Not only is it made of an inferior material compared to the US uranium-alloy, but it's also only about 2/3 as long. The extended L/55 barrel exists to compensate for the weaker pressure ammo compared to what the US uses. As for the armor, uranium is a dense material just like tungsten. There is 0 advantage tungsten has as armor over uranium, and there's never been a case of higher cancer rates among crew. That's a lie and proven to be false in multiple studies.
