What tank is the best?
It is difficult to say which tank is the "best" as it depends on the specific mission and the battlefield conditions. Different tanks have different strengths and weaknesses, and what is considered the "best" tank can vary depending on the context.
Some tanks are known for their heavy armor and firepower, while others are known for their speed and mobility.
For example, the Russian T-14 Armata, is one of the most advanced tanks in the world, it features advanced composite armor, an unmanned turret, and the capability to fire long-range guided missiles.

The German Leopard 2 is known for its high mobility and advanced fire control system.
What all the fuss is about: Leopard 2. This is the latest A7+ version with the Trophy Active Protection System. This can defeat incoming ATGM threats. The clever thing about it is all upgrades are modular. This means you can modernise an older A4 just by adding the right bits. pic.twitter.com/tRanUuCeo6

The British Challenger 2 is known for its heavy armor and advanced fire control system, making it one of the most protected tanks in the world.
The British Challenger 2 is the least modern of the bunch. The UK has only a finite number (227 in service plus 75 in deep storage) so cannot donate more than 50 without compromising its own needs.

It's worth noting that tanks are just one aspect of military power and other factors such as air support, artillery, and logistics also play a crucial role in any battle. Additionally, tanks alone cannot win wars, they must be supported by other military equipment, and tactics.
It's important to keep in mind that these are just examples, and the technology and capabilities of tanks are constantly evolving, so the "best" tank can change over time.
