Merkava Mk 4 -VS- Leopard 2A6

It's Leopard 2A5 in Sweden we have 120 tanks of this. How goes down to 46 after modernize earliest 2019 back in buisness.

It's 110 Leopard 2A4 is the reserve plane.

Down with 50 tanks from earlier 160 2A4.

Sounds like Sweden is really downsizing their army. But you still didn't answer my question about a German tank besting the Leopard 2A6?
 
If that's not their best all around heavy Tank, which one is?
Well that is a relatively easy one, the L2-A7 is by all accounts a better vehicle than the A6...

Further to that they also as part of the KWS III modernization program experimented with a variant called the L2-140 which not surprisingly was equipped with a 140mm main gun and upgraded armour but they then canned the KWS program and the L2-140 seems to have gone with it.

I didn't know that the L2 had been upgraded to A7. I'll have to loo that one up. A 140 mm gun is quite the good sized round!
 
A6 if no best in Germany even if their are next youngest tank. Only A7 are younger. Around 2003 the A6 ready for action and A7 are 2009 around this year. Have I right about A7 around 2009 first tank in action?
 
I think Leopard 2A5 is best german tank.

Suiss have 200 Leopard 2 tank.

Nearly the german armed forces of personal.

Suiss have ca 147.000 active personal.

Germany have 182.000 active personal.

78000 plus 25000 in Army i believe.

But Finland buy 100 Leopard 2A6 from Netherlands.

20 pers 2015, 20 pers 2016, 20 pers 2017, 20 pers 2018 and 20 pers 2019.

The L2 A7 was developed around 2005-09 and made its first public appearance in 2010.
 
Now I have seen one A7 and that weres not best of Leopard 2 tank. Like A4 the A7 were.

A6 and A5 are better of Leopard 2 tanks.

I think 100+100+90 of Leopard A5, A6 and A7 in future.

I like the configuration of the Merkava tank. Turning the chassis and the engine provides with additional protection in the front of the vehicle. In addition to that; the tank is also able to transport an infantry squad, which makes the APC obsolete. The Israelis have interesting technical solutions
 
My top-6 ranking of world's tank:

1.Leopard 2A5
2.Challenger 2
3.Abrams
4.Merkava
5.T-90
6.Leopard 2A6

Eating mandarin now. Last 4 in freeze box.
