Aug 20, 2008 - That is the MK1 or 2, they now have the mk 4 which is 10x better, the ratings is way off.

Aug 20, 2008 - Different people have different opinions. The Leopard Mk2 is definitely on the list, as well as the Challenger Mk2, and the M1A2 Abrams. The Black hawk is a tank that I think Russia has designed and is selling to a couple of countries, but I don't know if it has been rated yet.

Aug 20, 2008 - I really don't like the "Top Ten" show on the Military Channel. Their rating system is bogus and comparisons are inconsistent. But on a more relevant note I really like the Merkava tank. It's built to kill T-72 tanks that their enemies use. It's built with the crew in mind, and it's just another example of Israeli "adapt and overcome" mentality.
brtshstel Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - On this show it's the T-34.

Aug 20, 2008 - That's interesting Jay...I wasn't aware that the Russians were even close thinking that Technology wise they are (or were) far behind the West???It would seem America must have some kind of decent tank considering how badly they wiped out the Iraqi forces on the field in the last 2 gulf wars...The Leopard..is that the German tank?Take care

Aug 20, 2008 - I think, as a "game strategist" (cause me and my nerdy mates just sit around and discuss strategy :() Is the low range, and speed, and the armour, but I've been told the newer models can survive an Anti-Tank Mine from right underneath it so, correct me on that Iweapons.

Aug 20, 2008 - The Russian T-34 was given the no. 1 spot on this television program. they gave it that spot because there were so many of them, and it was the first successful production tank with sloped armor.

Aug 20, 2008 - its the best tank for israel, but i dont think any nation with different geography and tactics would find it better then a tank THEY specifically design.which is why i believe there is no "best" tank :P
KINGD1991 Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - hey man, where can i see this program? and how its called?
brtshstel Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - It's called "Top Tens." It is a one-hour program on the Military Channel, which is available with digital cable or satellite service (at least in the United States where I live). They have an episode on tanks, one on fighters, another on bombers, one on rifles etc. Usually the no.1 place is very predictable for each program. It is usually the most-produced item, and they they give an arbitrary "rating" on why it is so good.

Aug 20, 2008 - This tank is good, very good. One of the best in the world. But like allways .. a tank is a trap. allways was, allways will be. the crew need nerves from steel ! The evacuation hatch is genius !
Jaydinator57 Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - The Leopard is German. The Challenger is British, and the Abrams is American. I might have been mistaken on the black hawk. I heard somewhere that it was Korean. Not entirely sure about that one.

Aug 20, 2008 - A lot of Merkavas were hit in 2006 Israel-Lebanon War by Hezbollah. Anti-tank systems are ahead.
