KF51 Panther, Abrams M1A2 SEPv3 and T-14 ArmataĪutomation and advanced sensory data systems set the stage for AI integration. Today’s most advanced tanks are defined by their artificial intelligence (AI) and remote operating capability. The Armata also features top of the line explosive reactive armor, and also a active protection system to fend off anti-tank weapons.The top ten tanks today are the German KF51 Panther, the American Abrams M1A2, the Russian T-14 Armata, the Korean K2 Black Panther, the Chinese T-99, the German Leopard 2, the French Leclerc XL, the British Challenger 2, the Israeli Merkava V, and the Japanese Type-90.Įach tank is competing for superior firepower, mobility, and strength, but these qualities alone no longer determine which tanks are the most advanced in the world. The unmanned turret system allows for more mechanization of tasks.

With a multipurpose chassis, unmanned turret and crew of two, the Armata seemed poised to revolutionize the worlds largest tank army. The T-14 Armata tank featured upgraded armor, computerized systems, a new 125mm smoothbore cannon system designed to take on the latest in western armor, and a range of over 500 kilometers.The T-72BM, which run around $2 million apiece, has been the mainstay of the Russian tank force since the 1970s, and attempts at replacing the aging system with the T-80 and T-90 tanks also proved more than the recovering Russian economy could bear.
