Every Main Battle Tank Ranked WORST to BEST

Every famous modern main battle tank ranked from worst to best: in February 1991, at 73 Easting, nine American Abrams tanks crossed a ridge in a sandstorm and destroyed an Iraqi tank line in 23 minutes without losing a single tank. But is the Abrams really the best tank in the world? We ranked ten modern tanks everybody knows: India's Arjun, China's Type 99, Russia's T-14 Armata (and its stall on Red Square), France's fast Leclerc, Britain's Challenger 2, Russia's T-90, Israel's Merkava with its back door and Trophy system, South Korea's K2 Black Panther that can kneel, the American M1 Abrams, and the German Leopard 2. Real battles, real losses in Iraq, Syria and Ukraine, and the final ranking. 0:00 73 Easting 0:35 #10: Arjun 1:51 #9: Type 99 2:52 #8: T-14 Armata 4:22 #7: Leclerc 5:28 #6: Challenger 2 6:44 #5: T-90 7:52 #4: Merkava 9:00 #3: K2 Black Panther 11:32 #2: M1 Abrams 14:40 #1: Leopard 2 17:08 The final ranking How this video was made: the script was researched from published military histories, defence reports and crew accounts, cross-checked between sources, then written and narrated for this channel. Where sources disagree (the Arjun trials, the Basra Challenger story, numbers built and lost) we say so in the video. This is a history and comparison video, not a guide: nothing here explains how to attack or disable a vehicle. Every scene is hand-drawn in our sketch style, and the real tanks and people are shown in photographs.
