F-35, I think

Does the F-35 have twin engines at the back and canards?

Perhaps this is that Russian stealth prototype?

[Mr War]

China’s new J-20 stealth fighter.

Googles new Picture search is a killer for this game! It will find every photo, try it .....  :'(

It should not end like this, so here is my next picture:

OT:
What is the strongest tank?

[Mr War]

OT:
What is the strongest tank?

well there are a lot if contenders today.

M1 Abrams and Challenger 2 are definitely contenders, as are leopard 2 and maverka 4.

Some people will say russian T90 but I think it's hard to argue although some Russian tank tech is very cool. Russia also built the better T95 but that's only a prototype. China and Ukraine have good tanks but hard to say strongest

But real contenders should also include latest south Korean and Japanese tanks which are more technologically advanced

[Hagekura]

How about french Leclerc? it has 52 calibres 120mm smoothbore gun with autoloader and ceramics modular armour, also has high-tech Datalink system. very cool tank.

Well, (south)korean tanks are laughingstock. merely a patchwork of other country's tanks.

I wish we could have an excellent tank. money is the biggest obstacle.
Japanese military budget is decreasing year by year, while China continues military expansion...
for the time being, we have to continue using aging Type74. Type90 is few.

Leclerc is impressive, agree it's a contender.

South Korean tanks aren't a laughing stock, why do you say that? The K-1A2 is pretty impressive and the K-2 is really a contender I would have thought.

The Japanese Type-10 (TK-X) is up there too I think

[Mr War]

maybe the thread should be split?

Any discussion on the #strongest# tank needs pictures.

[big]Leading contenders IMO[/big]

Leopard 2A6 (Germany)


Challenger 2 (UK)


M1A2 Abrams


Type-10 (Japan)


K-2 Black Panther (S Korea)


LeClerc (France)


Merkava 4 (Israel)


[big]Honorable mentions[/big]

T-90 (Russia)


Omlot (Ukraine)


Ariete (Italy)


T-98 (China)

[wyvern]

Merkava, without a doubt, most of the western tanks are older then the merkava.
If its not just modern tanks, Comet or IS-2

I'm not sure that the merkava is so far ahead. It's got merits but it's not that much newer, certainly not a generation gap IMO. Although it's classified, armor is probably less than Abrams and challenger although you could argue re distribution of armor and internal layouts.

The longest ranged tank-tank kill was by a British challenger at over 4km.

Merkava has operational gun launched missiles with ranges similar to Russian ones at around 9km in theory but any could have if the operator choose to.

Jordan's challenger 1 with falcon turret would be another contender if that ever became operational.
