Ok, since a lot of people don't know those basics, I will put them in a single comment to spare you from commenting. 1. T-90M uses 2A82 and Afghanit! - Wrong! Those have been proposed upgrades before it entered service, take a look at how 2A82 and Afghanit look like and try to point them out on T-90M. 2. Leopard 2A7 can fire LAHAT. - Nope! Only certain number of Leopard 2A4 tanks have been given such ability, no other variant, including Leopard 2A7 have such ability. This series focuses on comparing tanks as individual units, please stop telling me to include prices, logistics and other stuff, thanks! Also I want to point out I made a typo at the final score where I listed 75pts for Leopard 2A7's protection instead of 78pts.

I always feel like having a powerful engine in a tank is very important in the case of future proofing a tank. The concept of armor and electronics can always be added, but having a bad horsepower and speed really limits the ability to add more armor kits to the tank.

Learning what we have from the Ukraine war, where would you rank the T-90M now? I think it's safe to say that the Russians have either over exaggerated the improvements made to the T-90M, or the corruption within the Russian military redirected the funds away from the actual upgrades being made.

I would give the leopard higher survivability just on the basis it has 4 crew instead of 3 and is bigger so if penetrated there is a higher chance someone will survive and might be able to recover the tank. You also compared armour numbers from leopards tested decades ago to armour values unknown for the T90ms. Yet somehow T90ms has better? I'm pretty sure after 20 years leopards have more armour than the ones tested, hence why all recent numbers are classified. Yes if hit from the side it could hit the ammo and explode, but what tank wouldn't? T90ms would also have a high chance of exploding with all that ammo in the centre. You mentioned yourself in a previous video the Turkish using old A4s terribly is not a good indication of the tanks performance. Yet you used that footage to judge the A7. Both are great tanks and are designed for their own militaries in different ways, leopard has gun depression and is a tall tank so it can defend high ground. T90ms is low and has less depression showing it's designed as a more aggressive breakthrough tank. After changing the survivability scores and armour scores leopard wins though, and in my opinion is a better designed tank.

The new 125 mm rounds - the Lead-2 round and the experimental Mango-M model - are designed for firing at armored targets such as tanks, including those with enhanced reactive armor, self-propelled artillery mounts and embrasures. Ammunition can be used for firing from smooth-bore tank guns D-81 (2A26, 2A46M). “These are the latest types of ammunition, the armor penetration of which has been increased by more than 20%. If a regular shot penetrates 230 mm of an obstacle, then for "Mango-M" this figure is 280 mm, and for a shot "Lead-2" - 300 mm. The improved technical characteristics of ammunition ensure the defeat of almost the entire spectrum of armored weapons and military equipment of a potential enemy at a distance of more than 2 km, ”said industrial director of Rostec State Corporation Sergey Abramov. The International Military-Technical Forum "Army-2019" will be held from 25 to 30 June 2019 at the Patriot Convention and Exhibition Center of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Kubinka, Moscow Region. More than 100 foreign delegations will take part in the event. Mango-M is an export-oriented shot. One of its main advantages is full compatibility with the automatic loader of the T-72 and T-90 tanks, which does not require any structural changes.

Russian tanks have been tested, by Americans and British, by this I mean kontakt-5 ERA was in the 90's and both american and British apfsds ammo that was used in Desert Storm against Iraqi's failed to penetrate T-72 or T-80 equipped with that ERA package at any distance. So Russian ERA is effective against apfsds. More modern western ammo does go trough K5, but relikt is more modern then K5, so who knows. By the way in the 90's the UK actually bought T-80u tanks for testing, you can find even the discussion in their parliament about the purchase lol. What he forgets to say is that ERA losses its effectiveness after being shot, so a shot in the same panel might get trough. That is the price for having a 20 t lighter tank. However I'm not sure how well does composite armor work if you start grouping shots close to each other against it, but definitely better then ERA. Overall I'd say Leo has better armor and gun depression, but exposed ammo in the hull is kinda very bad about it. Russians have that carousel however they've done a lot to make it more effectively protected so you're gonna have to score a direct hit on it, in Leo case almost any hull penetration will ignite the ammo.

Sim Tard It’s more cost-effective to be sure, but in a real slugging match with a NATO armoured brigade, once those ERA blocks get detonated it’s SOL for the T-90 for the rest of the fight. Meanwhile a Leopard 2A7 can sustain multiple hits in the same region before degradation takes its toll.

Sim Tard It definitely can, and it’s hugely important. When we say “the same area”, it’s not like a small spot, it’s going to be a rather sizable portion of the front-facing turret.

Great series.

Just out of curiosity, where did you find the diagrams that showed the armor ratings during the Swedish trials?

So this video is saying the Leopard is 20 tons (45%) heavier than the T90 but it's more vulnerable anti tank fire. Soundslike German armour is very weak!!! This seems uncredible to me

@ghilmanismail3529

5 жыл бұрын

A heavier tank doesnt always mean a better protected tank. The armor composition, angle, and configuration is affecting the armor effectiveness as well. Simple Example is RHA and Composite armor. Moreover, T-90s use ERA which provides more protection while adding less weight to the tank than the applique-like armor on leopard 2 which is absolutely heavier. Still, a multiple hit on the same spot to the T-90 would have a more penetration possibility since a single ERA block could only withstand a single hit while Leopard at the other hand could withstand multiple hits better than a t-90

Hi, nice videos as always. A thought regarding rating. Should a Firepower 100 has the same weight as a FCS of 100 at the total sum? Having the superior firepower might do you no good if you can't hit first? I know, its complex and this is a simplyfied way to compare. Keep up the good work.

Pretty good video, the only thing is that the Leo 2s armor is most definitely not the same as it was back in the swedish tank trials. That "armor kit' that the Leopard 2A5 had on it was just thrown on in order to mimic the protection and weight of what the tank would have in full production. The Leopard 2A6 made very large improvements to the armor on both the turret and the hull which was used on the first versions of the Leopard 2A7 before the add on kits were available. Current estimates from around the world are around 800mm against APFSDS rounds on the thickest part of the hull and up to 1000mm on the thickest part of the turret, but that is estimated as all numbers on the armor is classified and will be for decades most likely.

There's quite a few categories that you missed. Reliability, crew comfort, gun handling (traverse and depression/elevation), ease of maintenance, cost, ammo capacity ect. Also all these categories are not really equal for example protection is much more important than survivability since if you can't penetrate something it doesn't matter if it doesn't have good ammo containment, they shouldn't all be out of 100

I'll tell you right now that crew comfort on both these tanks isn't worth comparing, because they're both on par with each other. The Leopard is superior in gun handling just because of it's depression, while the T-90M is superior in ease of maintenance and FAR superior in production cost. As for reliability, thats something that has to be combat proven, and so far neither have seen combat that tests their limits. The reason RedEffect ignored these factors is probably because they're either the same or obviously extremely different, and instead focused on things that are more important in a combat situation.

But on the other hand the T90 is cheaper and you should be taler than 1.60 or it gets extremly uncomfortable.
