![]() ![]() ![]() It has been evaluated in numerous countries (among others Greece, Turkey, Sweden and Switzerland) against various other options - including the M1A1, M1A2, Challenger 2, Leclerc, T-80U, T-84, etc. In Europe, the Leopard 2 is being considered the best tank to fight against a high-tech peer enemy. Its armor is optimized against RPGs and ATGMs, it likely wouldn't perform very well against large caliber APFSDS ammunitions. 3, the latter tank proved to be much better, as it could better navigate the rocky, sandy and mountainous terrain of Northern Isreal. The Israelis once tested the M1A1 Abrams against the Merkava Mk. 4 is optimized for operations in Israeli terrain against the threats perceived in the area. Given that the cost for a brand new Leopard 2A7+ are between €10 and €15 million (a result of the production line currently being used for manufacturing other AFVs), the Leopard 2A7+ would not be the best tank for a country with a limited budget looking to equip a large tank force. The Leopard 2A7+ might be a brilliant tank, but it is too expensive for a country like Russia or China, which plans on adopting a large number of tanks as replacement for its existing tank fleet. The M1A2C is too heavy and too bulky for that role, hence the Type 10 MBT is "the best" tank for Japan's specific needs. A M1A2C Abrams for example is absolutely unsuited for a country like Japan, which needs a main battle tank that can be easily transported from one island to another and also can travel through narrow streets in the mountains. Different tanks are used in different environments and/or roles. There is not such a thing as "the" best tank.
