Nr.3 M1A2 Abrams (USA) The M1A2 has incredible technology and armor. Also this tank has seen combat. The M1A2 offers significant protection against all well-known anti-tank weapons. This main battle tank uses advanced armor, reinforced with depleted uranium layers. It's gun and accuracy are slightly inferior to that of the Leopard 2A7. It's complex gas turbine engine offers good performance, but requires tremendous amount of maintenance, logistical support and is thirsty on fuel.The M1A2 SEP is the latest version. Other tanks can be upgraded to this standard. The M1A2 Abrams is in service with United States (over 1 500), Kuwait (218) and Saudi Arabia (373).

Nr.2 K2 Black Panther (South Korea) Currently the Black Panther is one of the most advanced main battle tank in the world, outclassing anything North Korea or China have. Furthermore it is the most expensive main battle tank to date. This tank uses composite armor of undisclosed type and explosive reactive armor modules. The K2 is also completed with active protection and countermeasures systems. It's protection is broadly similar to the M1A2 Abrams, considering that the K2 is much lighter. This new South Korean tank is armed with the latest German 120-mm gun, similar to that used on the Leopard 2A6 and 2A7. This tank has a very advanced fire control system with can spot, track and fire automatically at visible vehicle-size targets, even low-flying helicopters, without needing any input from a human operator. The K2 also uses advanced munitions. The Black Panther is fitted with a powerful diesel engine. It is fast and has a state-of-the-art hydropneumatic suspension. Currently this main battle tanks is not yet in series production. It might enter service with the South Korean Army soon.

Often we receive many questions which is the best main battle tank in the world. Which is the greatest modern MBT and why. Our Top 10 analysis is based on the combined score of protection, firepower, accuracy and mobility. All of the tanks mentioned here are incredibly powerful and devastating, however none of them have seen combat against each other during military operations yet. Analysis is based on specifications and available data. Crew training of the tank is also important, as performance of the actual tank depends from the crew performance. This list do not contains tanks that are currently under development or are at the prototype stage.Currently top 10 best tanks in the world are these: 1. German's Leopard 2A7 It is a recent version of the proven and successful Leopard 2 design. It has additional armor and updated electronics. The Leopard 2A7 is well protected against conventional and urban warfare threats, such as RPG rounds and IEDs. This tank has better accuracy and longer range of fire comparing with other tanks due to it's powerful gun and advanced fire control system. This MBT is powered by a proven engine, developing 1 500 hp. Despite increase in weight vehicle has increased mobility due to improved suspension components. Cross-country performance is similar to other Leopard 2 series tanks. The Leopard 2A7 is not yet in production. German plans to upgrade 50 to 150 Leopard 2 tanks to the 2A7 standard. Saudi Arabia ordered 200 of these MBTs.

I knew it was all lies. It was just an attempt to whip up sentiments by these outlawed elements and their imam sponsors. I highly commend the FG/Joint Task Force for the tactics employed in Baga, no doubt there were unavoidable casualties, but that is expected on any military operation of this magnitude. However, i strongly believe that, most of the people affected were largely harboring these terrorists. The question should be, has anyone noticed the sharp drop in bombings by these elements, since the Baga Operation  I will advice the Joint Task Force to keep up this momentum and not be deterred by media falsehood being propagated by El-rufai and co. Terrorist should be flushed out our Land. QED! 2 Likes |

I can bet with my Nokia 3310, The Igbos are not going to vote for Jonathan in 2015. I have interacted with some of my brothers who were his staunch supporters in 2011, to know where their votes are going in 2015. all came back negative. What i strongly believe would happen in 2015, is that, the Igbos are going to do a protest votes by not coming out to vote for any candidate in the presidential election (But trust Jega, he would still manufacture 99% turn over just to rig for his Employer), thereby depleting Jonathan's main support zone.

Then the Chairman! B-2 Spirit: $2.4 billion The B-2 bomber was so costly that Congress cut its initial 1987 purchase order from 132 to 21. (A 2008 crash leaves the current number at 20.) The B-2 is hard to detect via infrared, acoustic, electromagnetic, visual or radar signals. This stealth capability makes it able to attack enemy targets with less fear of retaliation. In use since 1993, the B-2 has been deployed to both Iraq and Afghanistan Read more: http://www.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,1912203,00.html#ixzz2RepYM8Il

NO 2 F-22 Raptor: $350 million First conceived during the Cold War as an airframe to vie with Soviet aircraft that was never built, the F-22 is touted by manufacturer Lockheed Martin as the best overall combat plane in the world — not to mention the most expensive. It can shoot down enemy cruise missiles, fly long distances at supersonic speeds and avoid nearly all types of radar detection. But the Senate debate over whether to build seven more — at a taxpayer cost of $1.67 billion — eventually came down to the plane's job-creating abilities. The axed project would have employed 25,000 Americans Read more: http://www.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,1912203,00.html#ixzz2ReosP7qI

NO 3 C17A Globemaster III: $328 million The Air Force military-transport plane is used to move troops into war zones, perform medical evacuations and conduct airdrop missions. There are 190 C17As in service; the aircraft is propelled by four turbofan engines (of the same type used on the twin-engine Boeing 757) and can drop 102 paratroopers at once. In operation since 1993, it has been used to deliver troops and humanitarian aid to Afghanistan and Iraq Read more: http://www.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,1912203,00.html#ixzz2ReoO2DQF

N0 5[/b [b]VH-71 Kestrel: $241 million This high-tech helicopter project, intended to replace the President's aging chopper fleet, was running more than 50% over budget by the time Barack Obama took office. Soon after his Inauguration, the President announced plans to scrap the helicopters because of cost overruns. On July 22, however, the House Appropriations Committee unanimously approved restoring $485 million to fund the Kestrels

NO 6; E-2D Advanced Hawkeye: $232 million A major step forward for surveillance and reconnaissance, the Advanced Hawkeye's powerful new radar system will increase the range of territory an aircraft can monitor by 300%. "It can probably watch the pistachios pop in Iran," an analyst for the think tank Lexington Institute told National Defense in July. Though development of the plane is on track and two test versions have been delivered to the Navy, budget cuts may keep the planes grounded for at least a year longer than planned

NO 7; F-35 Lightning II: $122 million Lockheed Martin's 2001 deal to build these stealth, supersonic fighter jets was at the time the largest military contract ever. The F-35s, intended to replace an aging aircraft arsenal, were developed as part of a Joint Strike Fighter program between the U.S. and its allies and were criticized as underpowered and overweight — and therefore easy targets. Making matters worse, from 2007 to 2008, cyberspies infiltrated the 7.5 million lines of computer code that powered the Joint Strike Fighter, raising concerns that enemies could copy the F-35's design and exploit its weaknesses. In April 2009, Lockheed Martin said it did not believe the program had been compromised.

NO 8; V-22 Osprey: $118 million This tiltrotor aircraft, which takes off and lands like a helicopter but can fly faster and farther like a fixed-wing plane, was first used in combat in Iraq in 2007. The Osprey's production has been bedeviled by design and construction problems: the craft claimed the lives of at least 30 Marines and civilians during its development alone (former Vice President Dick Cheney tried repeatedly to ground the plane). Still, because of its range and versatility, the Marine Corps plans to deploy a squadron of V-22s to Afghanistan by the end of the year.
