I don't know if it's still true, but I think the Challenger used to have the biggest main gun of any NATO tank.

Its a 122mm rifled gun, and is very powerfull.

What would win in a tank battle, Abrams or T80?

Are you a sitting duck in those things? Can an RPG ruin your day inside an Abhrams?

I would say Abrams, though the T-80 is far more deadly than anything Saddam had.

It would have to be a very unlucky day for you.

The Abrams would be the favorite in that fight.
The T80 uses standard armor and ERA, doesn't it?

In the first days of the invasion, there were reports of Abrams tanks taking up to 20 or 25 RPG hits without any significant trouble.

Cool... Somehow I got the impression RPGs would spew molten steel inside tanks... Maybe it was HummVees instead...

Tanks for the excellent photos.

I saw video of an Abhrams getting hit by an RGP.

After the smoke cleared the side surface of the Abhrams had a black starburst on it like in cartoons. but it didn't even have a dent on it and it kept driving along like it ain't no thing.

The tank then proceeded to demolish a building.

It was pretty cool.

The only thing that can reliably kill an Abrams, is another Abrams. I have seen pictures of some own-goals from GWI.

Hey!

That's my wingman's tank. SSG Gorey and SGT Diaz in the loader's hatch. Taken in Mosul, January.

Sadly, there's rarely one of my tank. Being in front, nobody ever had their cameras ready.

Challenger has a 120mm rifle, same calibre as most NATO tanks these days. Until the advent of the 55 calibres smoothbore on Leclerc, and now also Leo2A6 and M1A2SEP, it was the longest tank gun in NATO. Now tied.

Don't worry, I got back a week or two ago!

I've got to put some of my fun photos up, here are some more.

The three tank just nose-dived into the field (Heavier than the field could handle), the Four tank reversed to pull it out, and that started to sink, so my One tank then hooked up. Eventually made it out.

Everyone is entitled to decorate their tank!

This was out happy crew for the first of the year. My gunner later got his own tank, resulting in a reorg in the TCMR.

Yes, an RPG can ruin your day, and has to a number of Abrams tankers. Usually with more effect on the crew than the tank, I should add.

Those T-80s look like something out of a military book from the early 1970s.

I think it was a big upgrade from the T-72 though, especially in its fire control system and armour.

Early Leopard II pictures, this type is still in service with some armys.
