NO.1 M1A2 SEP Abrams manufacturer: The U.S. M1A2 SEP tank is the most advanced digital tank in active service in the U.S. military. The SEP system involves sighting, fire control, weapons, power, communications, protection and Vehicle management and many other aspects. The M1A2 is a giant among tanks. The manufacturing cost and usage cost of a single vehicle are high, making it the exclusive killer of the United States. In addition to its first-class performance and highly informatized hard power, the M1A2 is the modern main battle tank with the most practical combat experience. Its soft power in combat concepts and other aspects makes it a benchmark for the development of modern main battle tanks. Firepower: Using the latest L55RH-120mm smoothbore gun from German Rheinmetall, the gun performance is very good. The M1A2's particularly sophisticated fire control system earned it high marks. Protection: The world-famous depleted uranium armor gives it excellent frontal protection. The unique magazine separation and pressure relief plate, three-proof device, and fire and explosion suppression device are very well designed. Mobility: SEP adopted the "European Power Package" to obtain strong power and good reliability, thus getting rid of the "oil tiger" hat in the Gulf War. Its tactical and strategic mobility capabilities are excellent, but because the vehicle-mounted equipment is too delicate, the logistics support and maintenance work are complicated and expensive, and most countries cannot afford to use it even if they can afford it, which brings a lot of deductions to its comprehensive mobility capabilities. . Informatization: In comparison, the biggest advantage of M1A2 SEP is its far leading informatization level. The tank is equipped with the latest battlefield management system (BMS), which can automatically provide troop locations, logistics information, target data and orders for both sides. A large number of electronic equipment are used to automatically detect fault conditions; the electronic sensing system improves the target recognition ability and the ability to transmit information to neighboring tanks; the new command, control, and communication system improves the tank's combat effectiveness. The M1A2 is equipped with an autonomous navigation system, which can quickly and accurately calibrate its position through the GPS satellite positioning system. This makes its audio-visual tentacles extend in all directions, sensitive and fast, as if equipped with "clairvoyance and ears for the wind". This is due to the United States’ unique networked battlefield information sharing capabilities. NO.2 Leopard IIA6 Country of production: Germany
With its strong power, ferocious firepower, and tight protection, it is no exaggeration to call it a Leopard. The Leopard II has become the benchmark for NATO tanks since the day it was born. The Germans easily found a golden balance point in the three major performances of the tank, achieving the ultimate balance of the tank. Leopard II is not only a weapon system, but also a work of art. The Germans use the technology of high-end sports cars to create high-quality first-class tanks. Firepower: The latest 55-caliber Rh120-L55 120mm smoothbore gun from the famous Rheinmetall Company has a muzzle velocity of 1750m/s. It uses tungsten alloy bullets with a penetration depth of 900mm at normal temperature, and its accuracy is quite high. With a range of 5000m, it is currently the longest-range tank gun. Command ceremony fire control system, response time is 6 seconds. As the benchmark for NATO combat vehicles, the firepower standard of the Leopard IIA6 is so high that few can surpass it. Protection: Judging from the tank shooting comparison test data conducted within NATO, the armor protection level of the Leopard IIA6 is almost the same as that of the M1A2, especially the mine protection capability has reached the world's leading level. This is extremely difficult for Leopard II. The talent of German designers is impressive. Mobility: The MB873Ka-501 4-stroke 12-cylinder V-type 90° water-cooled pre-combustion chamber supercharged and intercooled diesel engine developed by MTU Company is currently one of the best diesel engines in the world. The engine power is 1100 kilowatts (1500 horsepower) and the transmission system is excellent. When the firepower and protective performance are almost perfect, many people may no longer have strict requirements on the mobility of tanks. But Leopard II did it better than anyone else. This is a miracle. Although the Leopard IIA6 is wide and heavy, considering the open terrain of the European plains, it has little impact on its strategic maneuverability.
Informatization: On the Leopard II, the three traditional performance of the tank have been achieved to the extreme. The improvement of its informatization level is a key point, and the A6 has also achieved it! NO.3 AMX Leclerc Country of production: France
Leclerc is the first modern Western tank to use an automatic loader, and is ahead of other Western countries in terms of automation. French tanks have always attached great importance to mobility and firepower. The emergence of Leclerc symbolizes that French tanks have returned to the path of balanced development of the three major performances. Compared with other European and American main station tanks, the Leclerc is much more refined and compact, but its performance has not shrunk at all. Firepower: Leclerc is equipped with a 52-caliber CNI20-type 120mm smoothbore cannon. The gun has a unique appearance and has eliminated the smoke device on the barrel. The fire control system design is even more ingenious, and the rate of fire and first hit rate are very high. Protection: Each generation of French tanks has a new design concept. The haze of being defeated by the German lightning tactics in World War II prompted the French to prioritize tank firepower and mobility. However, their approach of deliberately sacrificing protection to gain mobility is no longer suitable today when infantry anti-tank capabilities have improved dramatically. . Therefore, the French Ground Arms Industry Group (GIAT) clearly prioritized improving tank survivability from the beginning of the design, and adopted the most advanced modular design technology and composite armor technology for the design of the body and turret, forming a Leclerc's unique style. Mobility: French designers have always focused on the mobility of tanks. The unique transmission system, supported by the strong power of the German heart, allows Leclerc to obtain extremely excellent mobility. It is worth mentioning the high-pressure technology used in this tank. Leclerc's acceleration and shifting performance is extraordinary, taking only 4 to 6 seconds from 0 to 32 km/h. Due to its lightness and flexibility, its road and bridge passability and maximum range are superior to other European and American main station tanks, making its strategic maneuverability outstanding. Informationization: Leclerc weighs about 55t, of which on-board electronic equipment accounts for 75%. No wonder Leclerc is nicknamed the "Computer Tank".
