A Tonka toy is better on paper, but until you get your tank on the battlefield, then the M1A1 Abrams is the best tank. :)

Yes, the Abrams is actually widely considered the best in the world. Certainly, it has the most combat experience of any modern tank.

The firm that closely follows armor development recently said that the latest German Leopard was the best tank in the world at the training course- but that the Abrams was superior in battle.

Which would you rahter have?

Until the Germans decide to invade Poland again we'll never know which on is better the Abrams or the Leopard.

I'll put my money on the Americans and the Abrams. At least the Americans have a nice proven track record for victory.

Okay, with the exception of a few Germans who still have not really appreciated what an Abrams can do...that their machines can't. Which is a lot.

Even if you can state a tank better then the Abrams, what is far more important, is the tank crew! NO ONE has better tank crews then the US Army .... bar none.
